[Vtigercrm-developers] ForgotPassword does not include the required information

When a user is using self service to change their password the process fails

The problem is that two important fields are not being passed to the forgotpassword template and therefore not being sent to the forgotPassword action script

The two required fields are secret_hash and shorturl_id

Without the secret hash the function fails, without the shorturl id the shorturl table cannot be cleaned which is a security risk, short urls should also be timed out when appropriate such as in the case of password resets!

The scripts at the centre of this problem is ...
http://trac.vtiger.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/browser/vtigercrm/trunk/modules/Users/ForgotPassword.php?rev=14045

Severity: Showstopper!

I am about to implement an internal secure vtiger instance with hundreds of  users. Such a system will cause major headaches if users cannot reset their passwords
