Details
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5 Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.2(2050317) Our LDAP server requires that users BIND before searching. When I set Thunderbird up to use LDAP server, everything works, except that I must enter my LDAP password EVERY time I compose a message. Thus, my password is going across the network frequently. I have never even been offered the opportunity to have Thunderbird remember the password, which I prefer not to do, anyway. And, due to the problems Thunderbird has with SSL to LDAP (reported by others), it isn't even encrypted. This is both annoying, and a security problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure Thunderbird to use and bind to LDAP 2. Compose one message 3. When message is completed, compose another one. Actual Results: The password entered in step 2 was requested again in step 3. Expected Results: It should have remembered the password until I either switched identities or exited Thunderbird.
