268081 - Incomplete NT Authorization prompt lack multiple users on same server.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 227632

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Marz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2

When I visit a site where NT Authorization is requirred, I can not select a
username, which is very annoying when I have more than one account. Password
manager is useless here!

Mozilla Suite (1.7.3) provides an addidional prompt to select user.
Opera (7.54) uses a select box (pull-down) to select username.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit a page with NT Athorization
2.Select (not) one of your user accounts
Actual Results:  
There is no choice of usernames for the same domain/account.
(Typing an username will confuse password manager next time.)

Expected Results:  
Provide a selectbox like Opera does, or an additional prompt like Mozilla.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

Attachment: Wrong prompt for Firefox 1.0.7

Also see how Opera knows there could be more users!

Attachment: Non Firefox solution for multiple users

This is how Firefox should have a prompt!

Look at the pictures and see the difference! ;)
There is NO option to switch between the profile of Administrator, Moderater or User for management at the same server!
