Interface AccountService

All Known Implementing Classes:

AccountServiceImpl

public interface AccountService

Methods for handling registration by email and forgotten passwords. When someone registers as a user, or forgets their password, the sendRegistrationInfo or sendForgotPasswordInfo methods can be used to send an email to the user. The email contains a special token, a long string which is randomly generated and thus hard to guess. When the user presents the token back to the system, the AccountManager can use the token to determine the identity of the eperson. *NEW* now ignores expiration dates so that tokens never expire
