[buckminster-dev] Re: Bug #168190
|
Hi Robert,
Fixing this bug is important to us but we have not yet got around to it.
The discussions you found in the bug reports are currently all we have.
I think the best way you can help moving this forward is to submit a
proposal for a solution that would work for you or even a patch if
you're willing to bring it that far. In any case, I promise to look at
it promptly.
Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

I think this must work in headless too since that's an important
aspect of
Buckminster. I suggest that the implementation is done in two steps:
1. We add an extension point that requires the implementation of a Java
interface that can be used when querying for credentials. Initially,
we provide
two implementations. One for the UI that pops up a dialog that shows
the URL
and asks for login/password, and one for headless that prints a
message that
contains the URL on the console and then prompt for username/password.
The information that is displayed in the UI or in the console must, in
addition
to the URL, also provide information about where that information is
required
(i.e. is it the URL to the RMAP, the URL used by a provider, or something
else).
2. For unattended builds we also need an implementation that can
answer the
correct username/password backed by a file like Henrik suggests. The
drawback
is of course that passwords need to be stored as plain text but I
can't see any
other way to provide that sort of information.
Have there been any further discussion/decisions on the headless mode -
file name, format, location? I'd like to help move this forward.
It seems like the conversation stopped on this bug and picked back up on
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=192839
but missed some of these points.
Thanks,
Robert Dale
