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

[Einav Cohen]

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

[2] translation to English of the second question (by Google Translate):
"""
The second question:
I Arm board, with firefox login to ovirt publish virtual desktop every 
time you need to enter a user name and password you, there is no way 
to specify a user name and password in the script, then the call firefox 
when the parameters passed to it let firefox automatically go landing?
