[ptp-user] Failed remote connect with secure storage turned off

[Rocky Dunlap <rsdunlapiv@xxxxxxxxx>]

Using the Mars.1 release of Eclipse with PTP, I am attempting to use remote connections with the secure storage completely disabled so that no passwords are stored at all.  I turned off the secure storage by going to the Secure Storage preferences area and unchecking "UI prompt" as a password provider (leaving no providers).

Now, when I attempt to open a remote connection, I am prompted (as expected) for the remote password.  However, the connection fails silently and the stack trace below appears in the log. 

A brief inspection of the code shows that on save the RemoteConnectionWorkingCopy seems to always use the secure storage. However, if secure storage is off, I would expect the password to be used to establish the connection but then completely removed from memory.  In other words, why do the RemoteConnectionWorkingCopy.save in the first place?

Maybe I am not doing something right.  Can anyone else confirm that opening a remote connection fails when secure storage is off (i.e., when you have to be prompted for the remote password)?

Thanks,
Rocky
