Description Jayant Bhatia 2022-11-21 09:26:14 UTC 
Description of problem:

The checkbox (or checkmark) next to admin password while Configuring Satellite Server to Synchronize Content over a Network should be enhanced/removed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite 6.12

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to Satellite WebUI -> Content -> Subscriptions -> Manage Manifest -> CDN Configuration -> Network Sync.
2. Fill all the Required Details like URL, Username, Password, etc.

Actual results:

1) The 'Update' button at the bottom is greyed out until the checkbox (or checkmark) next to 'Password' field is clicked.

2) Also the checkbox (or checkmark) or Update button at the bottom does not validate if the entered password is correct or not.


Expected results:

1) It should not be required for a user to click the checkbox (or checkmark) next to 'Password' field. As it is just an additional click which customer has to make.

2) Clicking on Update button the bottom should validate if the entered password is correct and should not allow to proceed further if the password is incorrect.

> 1) It should not be required for a user to click the checkbox (or checkmark) next to 'Password' field. As it is just an additional click which customer has to make.

IIRC this checkbox determines whether we send a password at all. This was needed to differentiate sending a password that is an empty string.

> 2) Clicking on Update button the bottom should validate if the entered password is correct and should not allow to proceed further if the password is incorrect.

Since the password validation occurs on the upstream Satellite and not the one which the user is currently in front of, there wasn't really an easy way to pre-validate the password.
