I'm working on a Mylyn connector for our product, and it's going to (at least for the initial implementation) use a combination of installed client & web UI. For running the queries and filling out the task list, I'm fetching data via the installed client. For editing, I want to open items (tasks) in our web UI. I have this working, except that the authentication is rather awkward.
I noticed on the AbstractRepositorySettingsPage there is a method setNeedsHTTPAuth. If I set this to true, I get an extra collapsible settings group that lets me enter an additional username & password. First question: Why isn't this automatically filled in to match the credential boxes above it? Is there a good way to consolidate these settings? Second question: I must be completely missing the purpose of this setting. I enter something there, choose to save the password, then go to open my task (using a BrowserFormPage, modelled off code I found in the Web Connector), and I still get a prompt for user name & password. How can I pass HTTP authentication credentials into the browser to avoid this? Thanks!
