1976128 - If sending a message with EWS requires a password, an error is shown instead of a password prompt

Status: ASSIGNED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: Exchange, defect, P1)

Description

[Geoff Lankow (:darktrojan)]

In bug 1975707 I skipped 3 tests (mail/components/compose/test/browser/browser_sendMessage_badPassword.js), because when a password is needed a send failure message appears instead of a prompt to enter the password. I guess this just hasn't been implemented yet.

Brendan, I think you fixed this one, possibly in another bug, but can you verify?

No I don't believe this has been fixed yet. The fix for this is to make EwsOutgoingServer implement getPasswordWithUI. Bug 1971540 added some code to the EWS client that causes that method to be called automatically in the right places, but we still need the outgoing server to start a prompt. Presumably that will look a lot like nsMsgIncomingServer::GetPasswordWithUI, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was somewhat trivial to factor most of that method out into a standalone function we could expose to Rust over FFI.
