Change Liferay User Account Password Example 2

In this example we will see how to change/update liferay user account password.

In this approach we will match user account database password which is stored is database with user input current password which user will provide user as a currentPassword using liferay API. PasswordTrackerLocalServiceUtil

STEPS:

Step1: Create one liferay mvc project name: Passwordchanger  of portlet plugin type.  Now create one portlet  inside that project .In this example portlet class/controller name: ChangePassword.java

Step 2: Add below code in portlet view.jsp, path: docroot/html/changepassword/view.jsp

<%@ include file="init.jsp" %>

<portlet:defineObjects />

<%

PortletURL  updateUserPasswordURL = renderResponse.createActionURL();

updateUserPasswordURL.setParameter(actionRequest.ACTION_NAME, "changingMyPassword");

%>

<aui:form method="post" action="<%=updateUserPasswordURL%>">

  <liferay-ui:error key="currentPassNotMatched-key" message="Current Password is Not Matched."></liferay-ui:error>

  <liferay-ui:error key="currentPassMatched-key" message="New Password should be different from current password."></liferay-ui:error>

 

       <aui:fieldset cssClass="lfr-portrait-editor">

              <aui:input autoFocus="<%= true %>" type="password" label="Current Password" value="" name="currentPassword" autocomplete="off">

                       <aui:validator name="required" />

              </aui:input>

              <aui:input label="New Password" name="newPassword" size="30" type="password" value="">

                       <aui:validator name="required" />

              </aui:input>

              <aui:input label="Enter Again" name="confirmPassword" size="30" type="password" value="">

                       <aui:validator name="required" />

                            <aui:validator name="equalTo">

                                  '#<portlet:namespace />newPassword'

                            </aui:validator>

              </aui:input>

              <aui:button-row><aui:button type="submit"/></aui:button-row>

       </aui:fieldset>

</aui:form>

Step 5: Create one new jsp name:init.jsp  page inside docroot/html/changepassword/init.jsp

And add below code.

<%@page import="javax.portlet.PortletURL"%>

<%@page import="com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.WebKeys"%>

<%@page import="com.liferay.portal.theme.ThemeDisplay"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/aui" prefix="aui"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/ui" prefix="liferay-ui" %>

<%@page import="com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalServiceUtil"%>

<%@page import="com.liferay.portal.model.User"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0" prefix="portlet" %>

Step 6: Add below code in portlet controller, in this example controller name: ChangePassword.java

package com.test;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.portlet.ActionRequest;

import javax.portlet.ActionResponse;

import javax.portlet.PortletException;

import com.liferay.portal.kernel.exception.PortalException;

import com.liferay.portal.kernel.exception.SystemException;

import com.liferay.portal.kernel.servlet.SessionErrors;

import com.liferay.portal.kernel.servlet.SessionMessages;

import com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.WebKeys;

import com.liferay.portal.service.PasswordTrackerLocalServiceUtil;

import com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalServiceUtil;

import com.liferay.portal.theme.ThemeDisplay;

import com.liferay.util.bridges.mvc.MVCPortlet;

/**

 * Portlet implementation class ChangePassword

 */

public class ChangePassword extends MVCPortlet {

       public void changingMyPassword(ActionRequest actionRequest,

                     ActionResponse actionResponse) throws IOException, PortletException {

             

              ThemeDisplay themeDisplay = (ThemeDisplay)actionRequest.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY);

             

              String userInputcurrentPassword = (String) actionRequest.getParameter("currentPassword").trim();

              String newPass = (String) actionRequest.getParameter("newPassword").trim();

              String confirmPass = (String) actionRequest.getParameter("confirmPassword").trim();

             

              try {

                     boolean  userInputcurrentPassDatapassMatched =  PasswordTrackerLocalServiceUtil.isSameAsCurrentPassword(themeDisplay.getUserId(), userInputcurrentPassword);

                     if(!userInputcurrentPassDatapassMatched){

                            SessionErrors.add(actionRequest, "currentPassNotMatched-key", "Sorry, Current Password Not Matched");

                            actionResponse.setRenderParameter("jspPage", "/html/changepassword/view.jsp");

                     } else if(userInputcurrentPassword.equals(newPass) || userInputcurrentPassword.equals(confirmPass) ){

                            SessionErrors.add(actionRequest, "currentPassMatched-key", "Sorry, New Password should be different from current password");

                            actionResponse.setRenderParameter("jspPage", "/html/changepassword/view.jsp");

                     } else if (userInputcurrentPassDatapassMatched && newPass.equals(confirmPass)){

                           UserLocalServiceUtil.updatePassword(themeDisplay.getUserId(), newPass,confirmPass, false);

                           SessionMessages.add(actionRequest, "request_processed", "User Account Password updated successfully.");

                           actionResponse.setRenderParameter("jspPage", "/html/changepassword/view.jsp");

                     }

              } catch (PortalException e) {

                     // TODO Auto-generated catch block

                     e.printStackTrace();

              } catch (SystemException e) {

                     // TODO Auto-generated catch block

                     e.printStackTrace();

              }

       }

}

After deploying portlet.
