Description Jon Orris 2009-02-19 17:33:43 UTC
Description of problem:
When using GSSAPI authentication with Kerberos, a password dialog is still displayed. claws will not continue fetching mail until something is entered. Note that an actual password is not required. A random character or two is all that is needed to dismiss the dialog and have Claws use gssapi to authenticate.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
claws-mail-3.7.0-1.fc10.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Authentication Method to GSSAPI for a mail server that supports it.
2. kinit
3. Click on Inbox or Get Mail
  
Actual results:
The password dialog box appears, and refuses to authenticate until a random string is entered.

Expected results:
No password dialog, Claws goes ahead with GSSAPI authentication uninterrupted.

Patch that should fix it

We fixed it once, but reverted the patch because of testing and it was too near a release. We since forgot to reapply it.

Could you test the attached patch (which should apply fine) and tell me whether it works fine?

I wouldn't want to apply it without testing.

Thanks in advance!

Comment 2 Jon Orris 2009-03-30 16:41:07 UTC
Yes, this patch works just fine.

Thanks!

Moving this back to ASSIGNED. The patch doesn't seem to be in yet (at least not in rawhide). Any idea when this will make it into a release? Below is a snippet of the network log:

I'm also having problems authenticating at all with GSSAPI, but that seems to be a separate issue.
