135458 - MRJ plug-in asks for ID and Password after entering site to check Lotus Notes email

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Alan]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011130
Netscape6/6.2.1 (still occurs on 6.2.2)
BuildID:    6.2.2

after entering name and password to access Lotus Notes mail via the web, the
page loads fine until the header applet tries to load.  A dialog box appears
asking for name and password to be entered again in order to load the mail
controls applet.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to logon page and enter name and password
2. problem appears when mail page opens
3.

Actual Results:  MRJ Plug-in dialog box asks for name and password to be entered
again before loading applet.  (if you hit cancel, it continues asking for the
number of menu headings - i.e. if the menu options are Read, New, and Send, then
it will ask for the password 3 times or until the right password is entered.)

Expected Results:  you should only have to enter your name and password once to
get into the site.  Why should a java applet header ask for your ID and password
on a page you just provided valid authority to access?

I wonder if this is related to bug 113499? If the applet does URLConnections to
the server without the plugin sending cookies, you would probably get basic
authentication popups for each URLConnection. However, I'm not sure that bug
113499 exists in the classic MRJ Plugin.

Alan, please provide an example URL.

Apparently, the website has changed their programming a little bit.
Now, the problem is that I get a Javascript error when the page tries to 
load, rather than asking for my ID and password again.  This is even 
worse, as now the menu does not even load, a blank space is left in the 
frame where the menu is supposed to be.
the error is:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
0 >= 0

Alan, we still need an example URL.

the url where you have to enter your login info is:

Alan, I just noticed you reported this bug against a Netscape 6 build. Can you
also reproduce this problem using a Mozilla build?

Also, I just noticed you reported this using Mac OS 8.5. Mozilla's support for
OS 8.5 is not as good as its' support for OS 8.6. Since OS 8.6 is a free update,
you might try that.

Greg,

I am not sure what exactly a "mozilla build" is, but I can reproduce the 
same bug using Netscape 4.x through 7.PR1.  Also reproduceable using 
Mac OS 9.2 - havent tried OS X yet!

Thanks,

Alan

Alan a Mozilla build is one you download from mozilla.org, rather than
netscape.com. Please visit [http://www.mozilla.org/releases/] and download a
build such as 1.1 Beta.

(Reassigning to OJI.)

Greg,

I downloaded Mozilla 1.1 beta and the same thing happens there too...

[Greg K.]

Alan, can you still reproduce this problem using a recent nightly build?

I have something similar when accessing the notes webmail: If you click too fast
in the java applets for composing mails etc  one of them raises some exception
frequently. Of course it´s obviously because the click destroys the applet´s
context when it is still doing something.
that wouldn´t be a problem, but in most cases a security warning appears
(certificate invalid) and then mozilla crashes with a talkback...
now the trouble with test urls: I am not a notes operator or admin, I donßt
think Alan is one, and I can´t let you into my mailbox, so probably no one will
be ever able to test/confirm that ;-(

I forgot the talkback id for my sudden notes crash: TB13850350K

OK it is reproducable in the following way:

1. Open Notes Webmail, log on
2. Open any Mail you want
3. click on reply
4. Now it is getting a bit time critical: the first applet finished loading is 
the top one (menu bar). The editor applet is STILL loading, while it is STILL 
gray click any command from the top menu. The following window is shown (look 
at attachement picture that I will upload in a few seconds).
5. click OK, a second one pops up: (attachement #2)
6. finally you are asked if you want to continue without properly signed 
certificate or something...
7. navigation is impossible because mozilla won´t react on any action (buttons, 
other urls, bookmarks)
8. closing mozilla provides talkback crash

I could pull out the applets off the webmail and put the whole page on a normal 
webpage but I am not sure it will work! if someone is interested in that...

comments ? ;-)

Attachment: weird looking java console: has probably nothing to do with mozilla

this is also interesting: look at the huge gap in the console (mass line feeds
after the exceptions), I never saw this before...

[Florian Leeber]

Okay and to be the one with the most comments on this bug, plz forgive my 
unawareness and my chaotic commenting, but I run mozilla on a PC with 
Win2000.... build 2002101612

Closing as WFM due to no response from reporter and cease of support for mac
classic. Florian's comments are about win, and cannot be this bug.
