Forgotten password and prevent username discovery error
I want to achieve the following:
In the forgotten password we sent the necessary token by email. So the user put’s in their email address in de search form and get the token by mail. So far so good.
But our companies policy is not to check if the mail address, the user put’s in, is valid. To prevent username discovery.
I enabled the Bogus User Policy and when a I put in an invalid email address I get the following error:
An error has occurred. If this error occurs repeatedly please contact your help desk. { 5015 ERROR_UNKNOWN (unexpected error during action handler for 'password.pwm.http.servlet.forgottenpw.ForgottenPasswordServlet:search', error: null) }
Is there a way the get the desired result?
