Asks for password even when GSSAPI is selected

[Jelmer Vernooij]

  affects /ubuntu/sylpheed-claws-gtk2

When I have selected GSSAPI as SASL authentication mechanism in
sylpheed it will ask me for a password (even though I have a valid
Kerberos ticket). After entering a random string, it is able to
continue to the server successfully.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 alpha/beta?

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Package was renamed, so for Intrepid claws-mail is what should be checked.

[Jon (jon-redhat-bugs)]

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!

[Colin Leroy-Mira (colin-colino)]

Can you test the patch at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486422 ?

Thanks!

[Jon (jon-redhat-bugs)]

Yes, this patch works just fine.

Thanks!

closing for the old package as won't fix

[Jeff (jeff-redhat-bugs)]

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.

Will take care of it asap.
