Hi Folks,
On login page there is a link forgot username and forgot password. When i
click nothing happens.Same page gets refreshed. I am not sure do we need to
do any configuration to make it work?
What i observed, first i clicked forgot password and then did the login. I
an directly taken to reset password page. Where i click reset password,
Again nothing happens? I am not sure what is the thinking behind this
functianlity. If user forgets the password how he will do the login ?.
Thanks.

Hi Mohit
Since we use this feature for a long time and I don't remember how
much there was in XWiki then and how much we had to develop ourselves
I am not sure how XWiki does this in detail, but I think I can give
you an idea of the general steps:
1. on clicking "forgot password" you are directed to a form where you
can enter your username (we use the user's email as username and
activation, thus we have a valid email address)
2. for the entered user you generate a validation key (like the one
for account activation) and send a mail to the user's email address
containing a link to a page with the validation key as parameter
3. when the user follows the link in the mail he gets taken to a page
where he can change his password.
Hope this clarifies at least the "how will he login" part of the
question and I'm sure someone will correct me if XWiki does something
completely different.

Thanks Edo. I also expect the same functionality as you stated below. But
as i told earlier. when i click on forgot your password, nothing happens,
Just the login page refreshed. Thats it. Looks like a issue to me in xwiki.
I am on xwiki 3.2
