Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jack Jansen (jackjansen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: login page should have username/password Initial Comment: The login page for mailman administration should have username/ password in stead of just password. The main reason for me asking this is that it will allow Safari (and probably other browsers as well) to remember all the passwords to all the mailman lists I manage. In addition, if the username was actually used (from the previous paragraph you'll understand I'm happy enough if it is ignored:-) you could have per-admin passwords. And that would of course open the door for keeping logs of which admin did what, which'll lead to finding scapegoats when things go wrong, etc etc etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Dyer-Bennet (dd-b) Date: 2006-09-05 16:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=108413 Firefox bug 235336 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=235336 appears to address this issue, and says it is fixed, and appears to say it will be in Firefox release 1.8.1. Sorry, not sure how this relates to the Safari release structure. The underlying problem in Firefox is not that it doesn't recognize and save the password initially, but rather that it doesn't offer it *back* when you revisit the page later. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Dyer-Bennet (dd-b) Date: 2006-09-05 13:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=108413 This problem also occurs with Firefox. The name of the form field for administrator login (on the "<listname> Administrator Authentication" page) is "adminpw" rather than "password". I'm not sure that Firefox will pick up the password without an accompanying username either. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=966157&group_id=103
