13517 - Prompted for database password when not needed

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Passwords & Permissions, defect, P3)

Description

[Paul MacQuiddy]

I have a signon saved at
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Browser

However, I am prompted for my database password whenever I simply go to
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org

To reproduce:

1. Go to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Browser
2. Enter a signon and choose to save it
3. Quit and relaunch
4. Go to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org

Results: You will be asked to enter your database password, even though there is
no reason to do so.

Expected Results: You should not be asked until you actually need it.

It seems to be okay at scopus/bugsplat (though I can't login there/separate
bug). I don't know what is different.

What's different is that bugzilla has a form on the non-password website whereas
bugsplat didn't.  Of course you couldn't care less, but that upset the
single-signon heuristic.

I have a fix ready to be checked in just as soon as the tree opens.

actually, I wondered if that was the difference :-)
