Version: 1.0 (using KDE KDE 3.2.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 3.3.2 gcc (GCC) 3.3.2 20040108 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r6, propolice-3.3-7) OS: Linux I recently upgraded to KDE 3.2 and got KDE Wallet set up properly. I've granted Konqueror and KDE Wallet Manager access to the wallet and have saved several passwords into the wallet by submitting various login forms on the web. But when I come back to a form prompting me for a username and password which I have previously entered into the wallet, the form is never automatically filled out. And I've tried all sorts of things to get the form to be filled out automatically, and nothing works. I type in the username and a drop-down box appears with previous usernames (usually just one), and I choose the right one, and the password field remains blank. KDE Wallet Manager is always loaded. Also, have the "Enable completion of forms" option in Konqueror enabled. How am I supposed to make use of KDE Wallet? Are users expected to open the wallet, find the site requiring the password in the "maps" list, click "show values", then copy and paste the values from KDE Wallet Manager into Konqueror? That would be ridiculous. I assume forms are supposed to get filled out automatically, but for the life of my I can't figure out how to get it to do that! I've tried many things - changing the options in KDE Wallet Manager, restarting it, restarting Konqueror... Nothing works. Also, whenever I go to a form where I have previously entered the username/password and stored them in the wallet, I get prompted by Konqueror EVERY TIME whether I'd like to store the username/password into KDE Wallet. And EVERY TIME I click "Yes". And it never fills out the password for me the next time I visit the site.
Well considering that I used the wallet to log into bugzilla to reply to this, I think we can safely say that it generally works. Your problem must be very narrow in scope. Is your KHTML version also 3.2.0? If KHTML doesn't even try to use kwallet, that would explain why it doesn't work.
Well, it should be obvious by my bug description that khtml is using the wallet - how else could it store my username and password into the wallet whenever I submit a login form? It has been successfully saving all my login form information into my wallet - I can see all the form data when I browse my wallet using the KDE Wallet Manager. It just hasn't been bothering to look anything up in the wallet and filling out any forms. So to answer your question: yes, khtml is version 3.2.0. All my KDE base packages are the same version (I upgraded them all at the same time).

Sure: https://my.utoronto.ca/scgi-bin/login.cgi?reason=login Whenever I go to this page, I enter a username and password (only the username field gets filled in from the drop-down box that appears as I start typing it, not the password field), I hit "Login", and then Konqueror displays the dialog box "Save Login Information". I hit "Yes", and I am taken to the next page. The next time I visit that page, I have to do the same thing all over again. And this happens with every login page I visit, including Hotmail. I've logged into Hotmail and saved my username/password several times, and it still doesn't fill it out for me automatically.

(I have access to it.) Did you ever run a KDE beta or code out of CVS? if so, maybe you need to delete your wallet. There were binary incompatible changes to kwallet over time before KDE 3.2.0 came out.
I never ran KDE beta or CVS code. But I might try deleting my wallet anyway and see if that helps.
Well, I seem to have fixed it - although I don't really know how. Here's what I did: 1. I deleted everything I could find in ~/.kde having to do with kwallet (I think I found kwalletrc and a directory called kwallet). 2. I ran Konqueror and went to a page with a login form (that utoronto.ca one), entered the login information, and hit submit. Konqueror prompted me to save the password info into KDE Wallet, and I selected "Yes". However, I was not prompted to grant Konqueror access to the wallet, even though I had deleted my wallet config files. Where is that setting stored? 3. After logging in, I checked the contents of my wallet using KDE Wallet Manager, and they were empty! There wasn't even a wallet in there - which sort of makes sense since I had deleted all the wallet config files - but then how come Konqueror never complained that there wasn't a wallet or prompt me to create one? 4. Since I had no wallet, I went to the KDE Wallet configuration screen and next to the "Select wallet to use as default" box (whose drop-down box was empty, because there was no wallet), I clicked "New...", entered the name "kdewallet" for the wallet (the name of my previous wallet), and clicked OK. But the drop-down box was still empty! It didn't seem to create one. 5. So I opened the KDE Wallet Manager, which was still empty. I tried creating a new wallet via File>New Wallet..., entered "kdewallet" and clicked OK. At that point I'm not sure I remember what happened - either a window popped up with the contents of my new empty wallet, or I was prompted for a password for the wallet. 6. In any case, I managed to create the wallet this way, because the icon appeared in the KDE Wallet Manager. Then I closed the manager window and went to the utoronto.ca login form in Konqueror - and to my surprise, the form was filled out for me already! And all the other login forms I had previously used were also already filled out for me. Now, this is actually very strange. I don't understand why all the forms were getting automatically filled out with the login data that I thought I had deleted in step 1. I guess I never actually deleted it. So where are the config files that store all the passwords in my wallet?

Someone else has reported the same thing. Do: find / -name "*.kwl" and see what that gives you. Maybe there is some sort of conflict on the system?

They're the .kwl files.
> It would automatically create a new wallet for you if it was accessed by > an app and it didn't exist. Anyhow, this is fine too. Well, it didn't automatically create it when I tried that time. I know it's supposed to, because that's what happened the first time I used the wallet system. > > utoronto.ca login form in Konqueror - and to my surprise, the form was > > filled out for me already!

This is one of the directories I had deleted, since it has "wallet" in the name and that's what I had used for my search. > By any chance did you save backups of the files you deleted? Sorry, no.
I can confirm this behavior, having exactly the same problem as described above. I have installed the complete KDE 3.2 package from kde.org on top of SuSE 8.2.
Same here.. using KDE 3.2.0 on Gentoo Linux... Same symptoms..
George, i think the reason why you could login in bugzilla by the help of kwallet is because you added your password to kwallet before 3.2.0.. I had several working pages here too, but all the new entries i added after i upgraded to 3.2.0 don't work.. I removed all kwallet related dirs/files (.kde/share/apps/kwallet/ and .kde/share/configs/kwalletrc ), and made a new wallet. It registers URL's inside the wallet, but konqueror a.o. always reask confirmation and don't fill in any values..

Can you narrow down the approximate date of the KHTML and KWallet/KDED builds that correspond to "working" and "not working"? This way I can take a CVS diff. Also, does KWalletmanager work? Can you open a wallet, add entries, close it, then reopen it and find those entries again?
I tried your kwalletmanager open/add/close/reopen thingy, and that works perfectly. When i go to a new site and login, and click "yes" when the dialog box asks me if i want kwallet to remember the password, it gets saved into the kwallet, and i see it inside kwalletmanager. It's just never filled in again when i re-visit.. I only use releases, no cvs snapshots, so it's either kde 3.2.0-rc1 or the latest beta that still worked.. I only had this after upgrading to 3.2.0.. Thanks in advance!

My KHTML is fully KDE 3.2.0.. Kopete seems to use kwallet without a prob (it pops up the kwallet password box when i start it, and logs on when i enter the correct password.. Could you maybe add the khtml maintainer(s) here, so this can be worked out? :) Thanks in advance!
It seems to solve when switching off "access control -> ask when an application accesses the wallet" (crudely translated from spanish, I hope it's clear - I couldn't find a command to run with an overriden KDE_LANG). Apparently something is blocking Konqueror from even asking the user for access. (I'm using KDE 3.3.0 from sources)
More: I use to install KDE with "make install" overwriting the old files. When I did 'rm -r /opt/share/apps/konqueror' and 'cd /opt/src/kdebase/konqueror && make install' (the already compiled 3.3.0) and ran konqueror the password popup appeared when the page finished loading and the forms filled fine.
