Changing the template of password recovery emails

To change the template for password recovery emails, follow these steps:

  • Go to /opt/flussonic/lib/vsaas/watcher/templates.
  • Use password_reset_request.email and password_changed.email text files as an examples.
  • Add custom_ file prefix to your custom template versions: custom_password_reset_request.email and custom_password_changed.email.
  • If you want to use custom hypertext templates, add the .html extension to these files as follows: custom_password_reset_request.email.html and custom_password_changed.email.html. Save these files in the same directory.

The template consists of two parts: the header and the body. You can also add a subject to the header.

In addition, in the message body you can use variables

  • {{data.base_url}}
  • {{data.token}}

Text template example:


custom_password_reset_request.email:
---
subject: "ABC surveillance password reset"
---

Thank you for using the forgot password option. Follow this link to reset your password to the ABC surveillance system:
{{data.base_url}}/vsaas/forgot-password/{{data.token}}

HTML template example:

custom_password_reset_request.email.html:
---
subject: "ABC surveillance password reset"
---
<html>
<body>
<p>Thank you for using the forgot password option.to the ABC surveillance system:<br>
<a href="{{data.base_url}}/vsaas/forgot-password/{{data.token}}">Reset your password</a>
</p>
</body>
