I run the following test steps :
Initial status : Gnome keyring is empty
Step #1 :
print from Firefox
Nothing asked, new printer icon on top right of the screen. Click - Job#1 is
Held for authentication
Right-click Authenticate
I Give the credentials and check the Remember password. (attached
print_step1.png)
Job is printed
Gnome keyring gets a Network password entry
domain\usern...@printserver.epfl.ch (smb)
Step #2 :
print from Firefox
A dialog opens ans ask for authentication Authentication is required to print
document Title on printer printername.
I Give the credentials and check the Remember password. (attached
print_step2.png)
Job is printed
Gnome keyring gets a second Password or secret entry
ipp://localhost:631/printers/printername
Step #3 and following :
print from Firefox
No dialog comes to the user
Job is printed
Gnome keyring has no more entries than the 2 said before.
To me this is the acceptable behaviour.
Ideal would even be to have step #1 asking interactively for credentials, step
#2 skipped so that we get immediately step #3. But this is outside the scope of
this bug report I think.
Thanks!
