198162 - Only one Keychain entry for each site, even if authentication method different.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 187720

(Camino Graveyard :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[Alex Pukinskis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7

For sites that use both realm-based authentication (HTTP Auth) and form-based
authentication, Camino creates only one keychain entry.

If you tell it to remember the username and password for the realm, it will
enter them into any username and password fields that appear in forms in the web
pages as well.  

Some sites use form-based authentication for general users, and then realm-based
authentication for access to administrative interfaces.  As an admin user, it's
a pain to have to correct one or the other u/p combination all the time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Access a site that uses realm-based (i.e. .htaccess) authentication
2. Provide login information and tell Camino to remember it.
3. Access a login form on the same site


Actual Results:  
Camino fills in the HTML form with the realm's u/p combination.

Expected Results:  
Camino needs to store separate records in the keychain for realm-based
authentication and form-based authentication.

Alex, does Mozilla also behave this way?

Comment 2

[Alex Pukinskis]

No, Mozilla 1.2.1 behaves correctly, and stores two separate sets of login
information for the realm and for the web form.  The two prompts are different
on Mozilla, too - for the web form, it offers that Password manager can remember
this logon (with Yes, No, and Never buttons) whereas for the realm it's a simple
checkbox on the login sheet itself.
