RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Christopher Tubbs 2016-08-02 20:08:13 UTC

Description of problem:
Evolution-data-server periodically prompts for Google password via gnome-keyring-daemon. This represents a security concern, because the prompt requests secure credential information when such information is not expected to be required.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-data-server-3.12.11-24.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Occurs periodically while logged in.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add Google online account in Gnome
2. Use evolution, browse, do other stuffs, wait.

Actual results:
Occasionally prompt for Google password.

Expected results:
Should use saved credentials in gnome-keyring.

Additional info:
It appears this is caused by a change in the way Google performs authentication, and has been fixed in newer versions of evolution-data-server. evolution-data-server should be updated, or the following upstream patch backported to the version supplied in RHEL7:

Comment 3 Milan Crha 2016-08-03 10:57:35 UTC

Thanks for a  bug report. The change you link to was released within the 3.12.6 version, thus it's already part of the current 3.12.11 version in the RHEL. That change is related to CalDAV only, thus for the Google calendars, it doesn't influence mail and other parts.

Do you see the prompt for a Google calendar, or for other parts too. I'm unsure from your steps. If you see this on the mail account too, then I'd try to run evolution as:

   $ CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io evolution

and then wait until you are prompted for the password for the Mail account. The last few lines should show what failed.

Comment 4 Christopher Tubbs 2016-08-03 19:15:03 UTC

Odd. The symptoms I was seeing were identical to what was reported in those issues, so I assumed it had the same cause. I'll try to debug further and provide more information.

Comment 5 Milan Crha 2016-08-24 16:00:16 UTC

You might be facing [1], I'm pretty sure. I fixed this upstream and we can backport the change easily. It adds a new translatable string, but I do not consider it a problem.

It turned out that the change from this bug report was incomplete. I made more upstream fixes there, which I'll backport for the RHEL 7.3 after some testing.
