Environment

Novell Identity Manager User Application 3.5
Novell Identity Manager User Application 3.5.1
Novell Identity Manager User Application 3.6
Novell Identity Manager User Application 3.6.1
 

Situation

If setting the "Forgot Password Return URL" to a relative link (e.g.:
/IDM/jsps/login/Login.jsf) the "Forgot Password" link fails with"???ForgotPassword_Error???".

If setting the "Forgot Password Return URL" to blank or full URL (e.g.: https://mytestserver.novell.com:8080/IDM/jsps/pwdmgt/ForgotPassword.jsf )
the "Forgot Password" link acts normally.
