Customize emails to reset password

  • Log in to the Abiquo API Server as an administrator
  • In the config folder, if there is no mail folder, create a mail folder and set the owner as the tomcat user

    /opt/abiquo/config/mail
  • In the mail folder, create the following files

    • Email file

      resetPasswordTemplate_en_US.mustache
      <p>Hi,</p>
      <p>We've received a request to reset the password associated with:</p>
      <p><strong>{{username}}</strong></p>
      <p>Please use the following link:</p>
      <p>{{link}}</p>
      <p>If you did not request the password reset, please ignore this email.</p>
      <p>Thank you,</p>
      <p>The Abiquo Team</p>
    • Properties file

      resetPassword_en_US.properties
      subject=Reset Your Abiquo Password
    • You cannot set values of the username and link properties. If you set these values, the platform will overwrite them

      If you change the subject property, you must restart the Tomcat server to apply your changes

  • Optionally add custom variables and content

    • In the email body, to add a custom variable, use double curly braces (also called double mustaches). For example

      <p>Please call your system Administrator on <strong>{{helpline}}</strong></p>
    • Then in your properties file, set value for your custom variable

      helpline=555 12345

      To return unescaped HTML as part of a template property, use the triple mustache, which is "{{{" and "}}}". The Mustache templating software that adds the property values will escape HTML variables in double mustaches by default.

  • If your users have a language other than English, rename the file to change the language code to the user language 
    • For example, for "Spanish - Spain" change the en_US to es_ES
    • The user language is the UI language when you create the user
  • Change the owner of the files to the tomcat user
