Description Kae Verens 2011-02-28 09:52:59 UTC 
Version:           4.4.10 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

my calender is on a remote server, and is loaded through FTP.

I entered the FTP details and ticked the "remember password" checkbox.

Every time I load up calender, and every 20 minutes or so after that, a dialog box appears, asking me to confirm authorization.

I'd prefer that the "save password" is used for that purpose?

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
set up a calender on an FTP server

entered the FTP details and tick the "remember password" checkbox

load up calender and wait

Actual Results:  
authorization dialog appears.

Expected Results:  
calender contacts the FTP server behind the scenes

Same happens for bare SFTP connections, independently of calendars.

Reproduce^W In my case it happens usually like this:
# Open SFTP connection that needs credentials
# Enter credentials
# Allow wallet to store the credentials
# On the remote server "timeout" the connection or wait a couple of hours until the credentials become invalid
# try to get onto that server again -- bang, kwallet does not kick in, but SFTP asks for the password

I'm using KDE 4.4.5 on Debian GNU/Linux stable.

I doubt I remember correctly, but if I do, the issue was there in KDE 3.5.x already. (I doubt my memory of it because I don't remember it as that annoying as it feels now.)

Still unresolved in KDE 4.8.4. 
If you tell korganizer to recheck a web based calendar (http://.*ics) which needs authentication everey 30 minutes, then you are asked your kwallet master password twice an hour.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of korganizer (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 4 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:29:41 UTC 
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
