           Summary: DAV Groupware resource: cannot change credentials ex
                    post
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: DAV Resource
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: hans_meine at gmx.net


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.4) 
OS:                Linux

I am using davmail to let akonadi talk to our company exchange server.
After I was forced to change my password, I could not find a way to update my
credentials stored for the DAV Groupware resource.

To be specific, I am entering the credentials multiple times:
* Once when creating the new resource (and this is where my problem is), and
* once again for every CalDav server I am configuring within the resource.

I do not know whether and why I need to do so.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Set up a DAV groupware resource with at least one CalDav server and make
sure everything works.
2) Change the password on the server (in my case via the Active Directory).
3) Observe the Akonadi resource failing to synchronize.
4) Now try to change the settings via "kcmshell4 kcm_akonadi"; I could only
change the passwords for the servers within the resource, but that did not fix
3).


Expected Results:  
The credentials (in particular the password) entered when setting up the
resource for the first time should be able to be changed later as well.

Even better, as a non-technical user, I would expect "KDE" to ask for my server
password just /once/, and not for every calendar/server.  (Note that the
davmail  setup currently requires the user to enter a different URL/server for
each and every calendar that should be accessed.
