I'm trying to set up password reset on my webpage.

 The passwords is salted, so it needs to be reset no retrieved.

 I keep getting the error: Attribute not recognized 'enablePasswordRetrieval'

 but what I read indicates that setting needs to be false, as well as enablePasswordReset = "true"

here is my membership provider.

<providers>

type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"

connectionUsername=<removed>

connectionPassword=<removed>

attributeMapUsername="SAMAccountName"

requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"

enablePasswordRetrieval="false"

attributeMapPasswordAnswer="PwdAnswer"

attributeMapFailedPasswordAnswerTime="FailedPwdAnswerTime"

attributeMapFailedPasswordAnswerLockoutTime="FailedPwdLockOutTime"

</membership>

Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I dont believe that the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider supports the enablePasswordRetrieval property, so you probably wont need to set it. See this link

When I run the password retrival control without that setting, I get this error

Your attempt to retrieve your password was not successful. Please try again 

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? If it's not the lack of the above command?

Thanks,

Eric

I dont believe that the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider allows for retreiving users passwords.  See this msdn article

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.security.activedirectorymembershipprovider.getpassword.aspx

Specifically:

I thought from my readings that if i set these two settings on the provider.

requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"

enablePasswordReset="true"

and set up the AD fields to support the questions and answer stuff, that it would reset the password and send/show a temporary password.

Am I incorrect?

I followed all these steps (I knwo ti's for adam, but it was the closest i coudl find)

Is there something else that not listed that needed for Ad and not ADAM? Is there a similar tutorial for AD?

Thanks!
