Symptoms

When trying to go to the password reset page via the password reset URL you get the following message:

"We could not reset your password because we cannot connect to the Active Directory server. Try again later"

Release

Any

Cause

The error is on the $pwd_error UI page in the following line:

<j:when test="${jvar_error == 'midserver_not_running'}"> 
<h2 class="pwd-subtitle">${gs.getMessage('We could not reset your password because we cannot connect to the Active Directory server. Try again later.')}</h2> 
</j:when> 

The error is "midserver_not_running". 

Resolution

1. Make sure the MID server is running, and in an 'Up' state.
2. Make sure the MID server has the 'supported applications', 'capabilities', and 'IP ranges' configured properly.
