[Bug 1354552] [NEW] Customize the forgot password link / text

 

Public bug reported:

Wishlist item from Pace University:

When an institution uses external authentication, the regular Mahara
login box shows up (unless it is SAML or CAS). Users need the login box
for LDAP authentication and internal one, but it doesn't work for MNet.

As soon as internal authentication is activated, the "Lost username /
password" link is displayed and users are taken to the forgotpassword
page. If they enter an external authentication username, they receive an
error message.

It would be good if the text on this page could be modified through the
"Site pages" menu as it could then be customized for each institution
since Mahara 1.9. Some institutions might want to link to their own
password change site which is impossible right now. If they had an easy
way (rather than customizing core cord) to do that, this would help.

We'd need to ensure that this also works for multiple institutions on
one Mahara site because at this stage where they request their username
/ pasword, users are not yet logged in, making it trickier to ensure
that they see the correct content.
