Bug ID: 160031
Summary: support OS secret stores for WebDAV credentials
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.4.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: filters and storage
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: robert-documentfoundat...@riemann.cc
This is a feature request.
In our organisation, we use Nextcloud and LibreOffice/Collabora Online. At
times, it is nice to switch to LibreOffice installed locally. For this, we
propose to open files in LibreOffice using the WebDAV integration. There is a
third-party Nextcloud plugin that makes this even easier:

With Nextcloud SSO enabled, users need to employ a complicated password token.
As it is impossible to remember, they need to store this in LibreOffice.
LibreOffice enforces currently a masterpassword. This is perceived as
annoyance.
Our users have the password token already stored in the device to access WebDAV
files using the Windows explorer. Opening files with MS Office does not require
to enter a password again.
It would be more convenient for our users if LibreOffice could be configured to
reuse the OS secret storage and avoid users setting up WebDAV credentials in
LibreOffice.
Since KDE Frameworks 5.97.0 KDE Wallet supports org.freedesktop.secrets DBus
API and can now be used by libsecret for storing and retrieving passwords and
other secrets using the Secret Service API.
Couldn't LibreOffice support this API? I don't know if Windows/Mac supports it.
Hence, another API may be necessary here.
Best,
Robert
