Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 Michal Odehnal 2019-10-18 13:41:26 UTC
Description of problem:
Turn Screen Sharing ON, set Require a password and enter a password. Close gnome-control-center and open again. Open the Screen Sharing window again. The password is gone. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-control-center-3.28.2-5.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open gnome-control-center -> Sharing -> Screen Sharing
2. Turn Screen Sharing On.
3. Set Require a password.
4. Enter a password.
5. Close and open again (1. step).

Actual results:
Password is gone.

Expected results:
Password is still there.

Additional info:
This is quite confusing as the password disappeared but the password is still active as I can confirm via vinagre and connecting to the localhost with VNC setting.
