Re: [ovirt-devel] ovirt can automatically save and load username password?

Hi, I'm not quite sure if I understood the exact requests here: The first one is about remembering the username and password in the GUI login page(s). This can refer to either: (a) browser-native username and password remembering (though this one will not cause an automatic login - just an auto-fill of the user-name ans password, I believe). The browser is not offering to remember the user-name and password field values within the web-admin/user-portal login pages, as opposed to other web-sites (see e.g. http://i.imgur.com/R4RNQ3d.png). @Greg - do we know why the browser doesn't offer to remember the user-name/password for the oVirt login pages? do we have any reason to not introduce such remembering to the login pages? [not sure how upcoming SSO changes (which include a new SSO login page) will affect / be affected by that] -- or: -- (b) application-specific username and password remembering (which can lead to a fully-automated login - see http://i.imgur.com/rG7nB9P.png) - this is a feature that should be implemented and designed carefully (see [1] for some references). if this feature is important for you - please open an oVirt RFE for that (again - I am not sure if upcoming SSO changes will affect / be affected by that). The second question [2] seems to be about automating the login process using a script. This may be related to [3]. @Greg - any thoughts? ---- Thanks, Einav [1] some threads in stackoverflow.com about implementing 'remember me': - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/549/the-definitive-guide-to-form-based...
