Description Brandon Nielsen 2021-11-30 21:41:16 UTC
Description of problem: Dolphin requires additional authentication to access a Nextcloud folder for a Nextcloud account added via System Settings -> Online Accounts.

Additionally, every time Dolphin is opened after setting up a Nextcloud account, a "Confirm Website Access" dialog appears.


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

21.08.3-1.fc36.x86_64


How reproducible:

Every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a Nextcloud account using System Settings (System Settings-> Online Accounts -> Add New Account -> Nextcloud)
2. Open Dolphin
3. Navigate to the Nextcloud folder (Network -> Nextcloud Storage)

Actual results:

The user has to authenticate a second time, despite having authenticated via online accounts.

Every time Dolphin is opened, they have to "Confirm Website Access".


Expected results:

No addtional authentication, no "Confirm Website Access".


Additional info:

Also observed with F35.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle.
Changing version to 36.

Comment 2 Brandon Nielsen 2022-03-23 18:12:00 UTC
Just tested again with the Fedora 36 beta 1.4 compose[0]. Reauthentication is still required when accessing via Dolphin, selecting save password does not seem to save the authentication as I am prompted again after every reboot. The additional "Confirm Website Access" dialog still appears every time I navigate to the folder with Dolphin. However, now the files in the folder do not appear after successful (I think, at least no error appears) authentication.

Comment 3 Brandon Nielsen 2022-03-23 18:41:18 UTC
An addendum to comment 2, after applying updates, it "works" again in that files appear in Dolphin and it seems to remember my password after entering it again. The annoying "Confirm Website Access" dialog still appears however.

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2023-04-25 16:46:27 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 36 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-05-16.

Fedora Linux 36 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
