Re: [ptp-user] Failed remote connect with secure storage turned off
I’m not sure when I would be able to get around to looking at it, so it’s likely to be fixed a lot sooner if you could submit a patch.

This one is fairly critical for us as keeping passwords in secure storage would exclude many federal agencies from using the tool.  Is this something I should try to resolve and submit a patch, or do you have a solution in mind?  I'm not sure, but it might be as simple as just skipping the RemoteConnectionWorkingCopy save if the secure storage is turned off.  In that case, the user would not want the password saved in the first place anyway.

I have never tried turning off secure storage, so that’s probably why it fails. Can you open a bug?

Thanks

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?
