No, these settings are separate. Some connectors such as Trac do you the repository credentials for HTTP authentication though and disable the HTTP authentication section on the settings page. > 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? Providing credentials to the user is not yet supported. Please see this bug for further details: 163120: [e3.5] set authentication credentials when opening a Task List element with the browser https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=163120 HTTP and proxy credentials are evaluated by the tasks framework if you use the API for handling of HTTP requests that is provided in the org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.net plug-in. The Bugzilla and Trac connectors are good examples how to use that but it does not integrate with the internal web browser.
