403610 - LDAP lookup against Active Directory causes TB to ask for master password repeatedly

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Security, defect)

Description

[Olaf]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.6 (20070728)

every now and then TB asks for my master password. My LDAP password is stored
in TBs password database and protected by a master password.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
I am asked for the master password more than once *and* it is not configurable.
An option like "remember my password until I close TB" is missing. It is even
missing in FF, and I am quite sure that I had seen it in older FF releases.

Expected Results:  
@TB: ask me for the master password once and then shut up. TB 1.5 worked that
way AFAIK.

Do you see problem using thunderbird 2? Or, better yet, Thunderbird 3 beta 2**?

If you do, please comment.
If you do not, please close the bug with resolution WORKSFORME (or some appropriate resolution, but not FIXED)

** Beta 2 has big fix of Bug 239131 Thunderbird should use the new password manager

(suggest you backup your profile before using beta release)
