Passwords not remembered on XP 64 #46

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure the checker to use a password-protected Nagios status page.
2. Enter the passwords and see the correct status information.
3. Restart Firefox -- you will be re-requested to enter the passwords every
time Firefox is restarted; they do not get remembered.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Once the passwords have been correctly entered once, they are normally
saved. When restarting Firefox, on Win XP Pro 64, I am prompted to re-enter
them every time.

What version of the product are you using (Nagios Checker and Nagios)? On
what operating system?
This occurs on XP Pro 64 under Firefox 2.0.0.7 with Nagios Checker 0.10.4
It does not occur on regular 32bit Windows XP with the same Firefox and
Nagios Checker versions.

This could be some bug in FF. Does it appear also in current FF version 
(2.0.0.9) and
Nagios Checker (0.11)?
I don't have access to any 64bit Windows to to test it myself.

Yes, unfortunately it does still occur in the latest FF 2.0.0.9 and Nagios 
Checker 0.11 .
I noticed that if I start FF and hit Escape when prompted to enter credentials, 
the
username and (obfuscated) password still appear in the NagiosChecker options 
box for
the site I have configured.

Also, the server-side log shows that the client is at least submitting the 
correct
username:
87.80.233.47 - - [19/Nov/2007:05:52:48 -0500] "GET
/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=hostdetail&hoststatustypes=12
HTTP/1.1" 401 401
87.80.233.47 - jen [19/Nov/2007:05:52:48 -0500] "GET
/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=hostdetail&hoststatustypes=12
HTTP/1.1" 401 401
so whatever the bug is (whether it's in Firefox's password manager storage or 
in the
Nagios Checker code), it involves the password submission.
