html source

Description of problem:
On IPA WebUi login page "username" and "password" marked as mandatory fields on the HTML source code. However it is not working for the "username" field. If you keep the "username" filed empty it is not validating in client side. It is taking it to server side for authentication.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-3.3.2-3.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. navigate on your browser(I used firefox) https://<hostname>/ipa/ui/index.html
2. keep empty "username" field
3. enter some value on "password" field
4. Click on "Login" button.

Actual results:
If you keep the "username" filed empty it is not validating in client side. It is taking it to server side for authentication.

Expected results:
These type validation should happen on client side.

Additional info:
Screen shot and html source code files are attached.

Thanks for your report. The ability to enter this form without login++password is intentional - it translates to log in with Kerberos as written in the dialog. When user and password is entered, it logs in with user+password.

However, you are right that you should not be able to fill in just password, the dialog should require user to be filled as well. I will open an upstream ticket for that.
