Enabling "Forgot Your Password?" Functionality

For Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub, Oracle recommends a setting of 40 for the Local Login Mask profile.

This setting displays a "Forgot your password?" link on the Login page. If the user clicks this link, the system loads a page where the user can enter his or her username.

The user then receives an email stating, "Password reset requires approval." The user needs to click one of the choices "Approve" or "Reject" that automatically generate an email response. If the user ignores the notification, the request expires in four hours.

To create the local login mask, do the following:

1. Log in. See How to Log In to Oracle Applications Profile Forms.
2. In the Profile field, enter Local Login Mask
3. Click Find.
4. In the Site column, replace the default value, 32, with 40.
5. In the File menu, select Save and Proceed. The system displays a message that the transaction is complete.
6. Click OK. The transaction message pop-up disappears.
7. Click the X in the upper right corner of the System Profile Values window to close the window.
