HI

I would like to use Alfresco API REST password Reset funtionality on Alfresco ACS 6.2 community. But it seems not to work.

If I use the clienId "share" to send a password request it sends me the email but the link does not work. When I acces the link I get a http 500 error and on the server y can see in log

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [Spring Surf Dispatcher Servlet] in context with path [/share] threw exception [Could not resolve view with name 'reset-password' in servlet with name 'Spring Surf Dispatcher Servlet'] with root cause

Why is this failing?

Aditionally I would like to register a new clientId to point to my app (an extension of Alfresco ACA) in order to use it for passsword reset actions. The APi documentation for "/people/{personId}/request-password-reset" indicates that to use other clients different that Share it must be registered.

Note: The client must be registered before this API can send an email. See [server documentation]. 
However, out-of-the-box share is registered as a default client

However I have not been able to find the way to configure extra clients on Alfresco. How could I do that?

Its not really clear how you have implemented the functionality, Give it a try to this add-on: https://github.com/FlexSolution/AlfrescoResetPassword

Hope it helps.
