           Summary: Groupware Integration Authentication Fails after
                    Session Timeout
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: drankinatty at suddenlinkmail.com


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

    The kde egroupware integration works very well, but there is one nagging
bug. The problem is session timeout and no ability to re-authorize without
completely shutting down the kde app (kontact, kmail, etc..)

    What appears to be happening when you leave kmail or kontact up for an hour
or so (I guess beyond the session timeout) is that the next time you try and
add or update a contact or calendar entry, you are then presented with the
normal kde Auth dialog, but the user name shown is something like:

Username:  lbhaljadsgn;iohvgnklsejfnbsdkflsdk
Password:  

    Instead of the original Username/Password used to define the groupware
connection, like:

Username:  Joe
Password:  

    If you enter the password that you defined in the "groupware connection"
wizard, authentication fails. If you change the Username to the username that
you defined in the "groupware connection" wizard, authentication still fails.

    At this point, you have no choice but to kill and restart the app which I
guess starts a new session.

    There should be a way to fix the Auth dialog that you are presented with in
kmail, etc. so that it prompts for the correct username and password allowing
you to reestablish the connection/session without having to completely restart
the application. Let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks.
