-----------------------------------
Summary: Server Editor too aggressive in loading/saving password string
Key: JBIDE-12709
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12709
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: JBossAS/Servers
Affects Versions: 4.0.0.Alpha2
Reporter: Rob Stryker
Assignee: Rob Stryker
Fix For: 4.0.0.Beta1
Immediately upon opening a server editor, it asks for the credentials just to show the
editor. This is so it can pre-load the 'password' field with the correct value.
In some rare situations, simply opening the editor doesn't show the text (no idea how
to replicate), however in these situations, even if you just modify the server poller (or
some other small setting), executing a save on the editor will prompt for secure storage
credentials, even if you never touched the password section of the editor.
When restarting a workbench, if a server editor is open, a credential dialog will show up
before the workbench does.
This is very annoying.
Suggestions for how to fix:
1) Since the password is blocked from view, anyway, we can use a dummy text upon initial
open.
2) Upon a save of the editor, the password should only be persisted if and only if the
user modified the password
3) If the user modifies the password, and UNDOES the change, it should NOT prompt the user
for the secure storage password.
