password reset
DNN has a built-in command which is similar, reset-password. This command is intentionally different, having been built for a specific client project.
In this case, password-reset does things a bit differently. Both commands allow you to specify user account(s) which you want to mark to force their password to be reset. This command has more options to do this for the entire DNN instance, an entire (but specific) site, by their user ID, or a role ID. In all cases, this command will notify the end-users. The built-in DNN command supplies this as another optional flag.
This command also will log the action to the event log, as seen in the example below.
{0} has chosen to require changed password(s) for: Scope ({1}), UserID ({2}), RoleID ({3}), PortalID ({4}). | Command | Description |
|---|---|
