The above image shows the ‘Username & Password’ connection type. The system also allows us to set up this page to use other types of information rather than username, e.g. email or phone. You can configure this on the Authentication Connection. It is important to notice that both requested user credentials are case sensitive. This differs from most traditional login pages where only password is case sensitive. This differs from most traditional login pages where only password is case sensitive. The reason we require the unique identifier (username) to be unique because it is also a Claim in our system and Claim values are, in fact, case sensitive. Allowing different values would result in Claim values that by Relying Party will be seen as not being the same.

When the user‘s password is expired, he or she will be asked to reset the password after login:

To avoid this page revealing any information about existing names or emails in the system, it will show your request to be successful, regardless of whether the stated email or name does in fact exist in the system. Therefore, it is important that you insert the correct information here or you may be waiting for such email for a very long time.

There are although also other reasons why an email may not be sent. Try to validate the following settings of your system if you do not think this feature is working properly:

  • Ensure that a claim has actually be specified in the system as the one containing users’ emails (on the ‘System Setup’ tab).
  • The system only allows one request per hour per user to avoid spamming.
  • Ensure that you configured the mail server correctly (on the Email Configuration page).
  • Ensure that the email did not end up in your mail system’s spam filter.

After 5 failed attempts to access, the user account will be closed down and required the reset password feature in order re-enable the account. After receiving the reset password mail, you can navigate to the following page via the reset link
