Reassigning. Jesse, can the keyring access question dialog give users some information about why it is asking for what it is asking for? I agree with the reporter it can surprise users and give bad impression. (In reply to comment #1) > can the keyring access question dialog give users some information about > why it is asking for what it is asking for? Perhaps. I don't know what the KWallet GUI even looks like. The NB integration has no GUI of its own, it simply asks KWallet for a password - any dialog would be part of KDE, not NetBeans. You can run with -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.keyring.level=FINE to see what key is being requested. Anyway this is probably a duplicate of bug #181252, that NB was closing the wallet after each request. (In reply to comment #0) > it is not clear if the keyring data is requested by malicious or by trustworthy > code Any code running inside NetBeans must be considered to be trustworthy, since there are no internal security barriers. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 181252 *** |
