<![CDATA[Reset password from nextcloud app]]>In my cloudron setup, at the login screen of the nextcloud app there is a "Forgot password" link. It would be useful for people that directly go to this app, without navigating first to the cloudron panel (a very common usage in my organization), and don't remember their Cloudron password.

But currently this link navigates to https://my.site.org/api/v1/session/password/resetRequest.html, and this url does not exist and generates a 404 error.

I have found that, in the file /app/code/config/config.php I can change the parameter lost_password_link to change the url to navigate to change password. I'd like to redirect to the reset password page of the Cloudron box, but I've found that this page has no url. If you go to https://my.site.org/login.html, there is a "Reset password" link, but it shows the form in the same page.

Is there a way to navigate from outside the box directly to the reset password form? Thanks.

Its removed from the configuration for new app installations. But if you have installed the Nextcloud app before february 2020, then your app is still configured with the old link.

Nothing was changed on an already installed app (seeing this thread I also manually updated the link to the new password reset).

Don't know why did you remove it,

Cloudron have no access to your server so they can't remove anything.

But perhaps you used to subscribe to Cloudron and now don't (and hence why your Nextcloud has not updated)?

For me the problem is solved. You are true, my nextcloud installation si some years old. Don't know why did you remove it, but yes, think that will be useful to talk about it in nextcloud app documentation.

Even with LDAP, it does not work for local users (since nextcloud allows multiple auth sources).

Also this is likely the root cause why @andres-moya sees the old url, most likely the app instance is quite old then.

(although I guess people using it without LDAP wouldn't want that).

At the very least I think instructions for how to edit lost_password_link in /app/code/config/config.php to make it https://my.example.com/login.html?passwordReset ought to be added to the Cloudron Nextcloud docs at https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/nextcloud/

Thanks!

Also you are right, that url is the old removed one and the login.html is the new and correct url.
To jump directly to password reset, just append ?passwordReset.

As an example the url then would be:

https://my.example.com/login.html?passwordReset
