    Also, make sure the email of the contact is unique in CRM.

    You may want to look into inactive contacts as well.

    When a user submits the subscription from the portal a Contact record is created with "System" as owner. If this user asks to remind the password the workflow fails.
    If you change the Contact record owner to another CRM user with email enabled the adx_SendPasswordResetToContact sends the email out without any issues.

    We ran into this same problem. The Forgot Password function fires off a process called "Send Password Reset To Contact". Examining the process Sessions I found that the workflow was being triggered but each time it failed with Error -2147218688 "Object address not found on party or party is marked as non-emailable".  

    I was doing this with a contact I had created and I knew for certain that the contact had a valid email address, was marked as emailable, etc. So the problem made no sense to me.  Then I found this article and looked more closely at the FROM field on the email. It was from the owner of the contact which is SYSTEM user. That's how the contacts are created when someone registers in the portal.

    Surmising that perhaps SYSTEM does not have permissions to send email, I tried changing my contact owner to someone that I knew had permission to send, and re-tested the Forgot Password process and it worked!

    I still need to decide the best way to deal with this. I will probably go through and change the FROM for all email notifications to be a team which makes sense in this client's organization.  I could enable email send for SYSTEM, but end users who receive an email from the SYSTEM user are probably not going to understand who that is.

    Anyone else run into this? If so, what did you do about it?

    Hi,

    Exposing confidential email address is data breaching it means anybody can see confidential email address...  Better solution is to expose the standalone Webservice with secured connection using API token... I will never implement adxstudio odata feed especially for contacts... May be using web template and exposing to application/json with secure API may be one of the possibilities of implementing in CRM portal.

    It is up to customer to decide if they are ok to expose the data in public domain but again the scenario differs.

    Yup Agreed, but you can control it by restricting the information being exposed on portal. For example, if you want to query on email address field only, use only email address field in the odata view instead of keeping rest of the information.

    Hi Arpit,

    Using Odata Feed is anonymous. It means anybody can see your data by adding .crmportals/_odata

    It unsecure to use the Odata especially the contacts which can be seen by everyone.

    Hi,

    The real issue with ADX Reset Password if the contact has duplicates records in CRM it won't send the reset password email because the CRM Action which will not identify the user Id. 

    Furthermore, even though if the duplicate contact is merged it won't work.

    Make sure you don't have a duplicate contact on your system.

    Regards,

    Sathis
