289813 - Password manager does not seem to interact with MS Outlook Web Access

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

Description

[Chris]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

When I log onto my Outlook remote access using Firefox, a box appears prompting
me for username and password, including a checkbox to recall these in password
manager.  See above link and enter any user name for a view of the dialogue.  I
enter the info, check the box, and proceed.  But next time I login, everything
stays blank again.  How to bring up the stored user info??  I see it in my list
of saved passwords...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to http://owa.camosun.bc.ca/exchange/logon.asp
2. Enter username.
3. Enter full username and password in dialogue, and check password manager box.
4. Logout and repeat, ad infinitum.

Actual Results:  
Have to always login manually.  Tedium, frustration, wishing I didn't have to
use Internet Explorer for this to work.

Expected Results:  
Upon initial login, bring up the dialogue box already filled in.  This is what
Internet Explorer does.

Not resolved still exists.. Actually has existed in FF since it became FF from Netscape Navigator 9. Which ironically still works fine with Outlook Web Access.
