| [mylyn-integrators] Authentication question |
|
I'm working on a Mylyn connector for our product, and it's
going to (at least for the initial implementation) use a combination of installed
client & web UI. For running the queries and filling out the task
list, I'm fetching data via the installed client. For editing, I want to open
items (tasks) in our web UI. I have this working, except that the
authentication is rather awkward. I noticed on the AbstractRepositorySettingsPage there is a
method setNeedsHTTPAuth. If I set this to true, I get an extra
collapsible settings group that lets me enter an additional username &
password. First question: Why isn't this automatically filled in to
match the credential boxes above it? Is there a good way to consolidate
these settings? Second question: I must be completely missing the purpose of
this setting. I enter something there, choose to save the password, then
go to open my task (using a BrowserFormPage, modelled off code I found in the
Web Connector), and I still get a prompt for user name & password. How can
I pass HTTP authentication credentials into the browser to avoid this? Thanks! Kristina Taylor MKS Inc. 410 Albert Street 519-883-3478 When software is critical, build on MKS
