Implementing "Password Reset" from Tracar Log-In page
It might work without restart, but I would definitely recommend to use Traccar API instead. Even better if you can implement it directly in Traccar.
Is there a 'Pass Reset' API end point? I did read the API documentation a few times, but could only find an end point to update the user details.
What am I missing?
Not yet. That's what I'm saying you should implement, ideally.
I wish I could implement it :) My java coding skills are very amateurish. Even if I get it to work, would probably be full of security flaws.
If it is going to take you a couple of hours to implement the API endpoint for the next release, I am more than happy to sponsor the feature.
If you are interested in sponsoring the work, feel free to send an email to support to discuss it.
Hey all,
Has anyone implemented a password reset and what was your approach?
Would it be a good practice to install a third-party pass reset, let's say, php script alongside traccar server with access to the database and call it from the log-in page?
If that script successfully compares the user@email from the one in the database and re-writes the existing password with a new hash for that user id, in this case, would it work straight away, or a restart tracar.service will be needed because of the cache?
Thank you
