_From @alenl on September 25, 2018 16:28_ <!--- Provide a general summary of the issue in the Title above --> If you click on the trashcan icon by some option, it will not remove that option from local.d/10-admin.ini, but will set the option line to: That_Olde_Option = So, if that option has an actual value assigned in local.ini , it will be overwritten with nothing.
## Expected Behavior <!--- If you're describing a bug, tell us what should happen --> <!--- If you're suggesting a change/improvement, tell us how it should work --> Deleting an option from the Fauxton list would remove the option-value line completely from the admin file, which would make the value from local.ini take over. ## Current Behavior <!--- If describing a bug, tell us what happens instead of the expected behavior --> <!--- If suggesting a change/improvement, explain the difference from current behavior --> Right now it puts an empty assignment, which is not the same as doing nothing. ## Possible Solution <!--- Not obligatory, but suggest a fix/reason for the bug, --> <!--- or ideas how to implement the addition or change --> I suggest deleting the line from 10-admin.ini completely. The fact that it is not done that way seems like a small oversight, and simple to fix - but with big and very confusing effects to the admin-user of Fauxton. ## Steps to Reproduce (for bugs) Below, when I say "observe the realm", I mean execute this: ```sh curl -is https://couch-test-server:6984/ | grep realm ``` (Or whatever protocol/port you use.) and check the output. <!--- Provide a link to a live example, or an unambiguous set of steps to --> <!--- reproduce this bug. Include code to reproduce, if relevant --> 0. Have a test server that uses WWW authentication and requires authorized user . (This is the simplest test, because WWW-Authenticate realm is a string that can be set to anything and is easily obtainable from the browser.) 1. In local.ini, set [httpd] WWW-Authenticate = Basic realm="set_in_local" observe the realm is now "set_in_local" 2. In Fauxton [httpd] WWW-Authenticate = Basic realm="set__in_Fauxton" observe the realm is now "set_in_Fauxton" 3. Click on the trashcan icon for the WWW-Authenticate in Fauxton observe the realm is now "server". (This originates from the internal defaults.) 4. Check contents of etc/local.d/10-admin.ini and notice the line ````WWW-Authenticate=```` ## Context <!--- How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish? --> <!--- Providing context helps us come up with a solution that is most useful in the real world --> When doing any changes, it can be very confusing. If you add a new option in Fauxton, and then remove it, you'd expect that the state of the configuration is as it was before. Alas, it is something completely different! Now that I know about this, I simply will not be using that trashcan icon, because this is definitely no what I wanted to do. But it was super-confusing before I realized what's going on. ## Your Environment <!--- Include as many relevant details about the environment you experienced the bug in --> * Version used: 2.2.0 (installed on Ubuntu 16.04) * Browser Name and version: Firefox 62.0/x64 * Operating System and version (desktop or mobile): desktop * Link to your project: N/A _Copied from original issue: apache/couchdb-fauxton#1127_ [ Full content available at: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1624 ] This message was relayed via gitbox.apache.org for [email protected]
