Feature request : empty password checkbox #135

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi,

When using certificate/key from storage, it would be nice to have an "empty 
password" checkbox. We use certificate + login/pass, so the key doesn't need to 
be protected and there is no passphrase : the dialog that asks for the 
passphrase is useless in this case.

Cheers,

Clément Hermann

Hi again,

Actually I wouldn't use it if it where added, now that I figured out why I 
couldn't use the certificate. Maybe it is better to not encourage 
certificate/key directly from sdcard, as long as it works when you cannot do 
otherwise.

Cheers,

Clément Hermann

There should no dialog asking for a passphrase. The password for login is 
sperate from that.

The app does not encourage using certificate/key from sdcard. The app is 
lacking the ability to delete from sdcard since you would need write_sd 
permission for that.

Hi,

I did test again with a passwordless pkc12 : if you leave the passphrase field 
empty, you'll be asked for a passphrase weither or not the certificate needs 
one. Then you need to press ok without entering anything, which may be 
annoying. 

However, like I said, since you can import the certificate as long as you don't 
trigger the jelly bean bug by using non-alphanumeric caracters in certificate's 
name (#132), it doesn't really matters.

Cheers,

Clément

Yes passwordless pkc12 actually don't exists pks12 always have a password but 
it can be empty. But pkcs12 with empty password are pretty rare from my 
experience so I chosen not to fully support them since that would make the UI 
more complicated.
