Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 18032
Persistent proxy authentication settings
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:17:02 UTC
When working behind ISA firewall/proxy which requires user authentication, there is no provision in the "Tools -> Options -> Internet -> Proxy" to enter authentication details. Is there any other option where I can authenticate?
This may be a duplicate of Issue 7636, which shows this will be fixed in OOo 1.1. Will you please show what version you are using? Reassigned from support to ucb. Added oooqa keyword.
I am using "OpenOffice.org 1.1". If the issue is fixed, please let me know where should I set the authentication parameters.
This task is not really duplicate to issue 7636. This issue is actually about two things: 1) Support for proxy authentication at all -> covered by issue 7636 2) The ability to enter and store authentication details across Office restart, for instance via Tools->Options->Internet tab page. Issue 7636 only solves the first part. Authentication data are requested on demand (login dialog) and will be stored longest until Office restart. I recommend to change the type of this issue to 'enhancement' or 'feature' and to correct it's title to reflect the actual issue still left now that issue 7636 is fixed (the persistence + user interface).
According to Kai's comments, I'm changing issue type to 'enhancement', target to 'OOo 2.0', component to 'framework', and reassign to that component. A note on persistent authentication: I don't think that it is generally a good idea to make passwords persistent. Any 'enhancement' in this area needs to be very careful to *never* store clear text passwords *anywhere*. Otherwise, I'll submit a high priority security issue against that 'enhancement'.
Also changing 'summary' according to Kai's comments...
TM->BH: Please have a look, thanks !
Hello Matthias, I don't agree with implementing a persistent authentication. And furthermore it would mean a further option. Do you agree, not to implement such an option? If so, please close this one.
changed target to Office later
