Postgres authentication when opening a document
by Armin Burgmeier
::
Rate this Message:
When opening a self-hosted or central-hosted document, Glom does not
prompt for user authentication anymore (I didn't check exactly since when, but I guess this is since the user has to activate the network share explicitely). Is this by accident, or by intention? If the latter is the case, then at least for central hosting, I guess we'd have to save the password which the user gave us when creating the database in the document, to be able to connect to it again later (this currently fails because of this reason). However, I am not sure whether it is a good idea to do so, at least not without letting the user know.

If there is a problem with opening existing documents, please file a bug, maybe with a test .glom file. -- murrayc@... www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ glom-devel-list mailing list glom-devel-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/glom-devel-list |

We do when the database is centrally hosted, which makes sense of course, because we need to log in to the database server. However, when opening a document, I don't see how we can get the password to log in to the central database server now. > > to be able to connect to it again later (this > > currently fails because of this reason).

Done; see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586684.
