Description Alessandro Accardo 2012-05-10 09:17:15 UTC

Konqueror asks for authentication every time i refresh a page on every request it makes to the web server.
It happens on facebook.com and plus.google.com, I haven't tried other web sites but this is an annoying bug because it is nearly impossible to navigate such sites because of this request for a password.

Seems that konqueror has lost the session cookie that these web sites leave to it.

I use konqueror 4.8.3 kde 4.8.3 webkit angine and I store passwords in Kwallet.

By authentication I assume you mean the website asks you to login again and again. If so, then such issues are usually the result of problems with the cookiejar on your system. More specifically session cookies not being sent back to the server when you navigate the links. Anyways please provide your kcookiejarrc (~/.kde/share/config/kcookiejarrc) so we can check whether you configurations are ok or not ?

For the record, I can neither reproduce this problem on my system now nor have I ever encountered it while using the 4.8 release.

That looks good to me. Your configuration is set to accept all cookies. Now the question is why some of your session cookies are not being sent back. Can you create a new user account and see if you can reproduce this problem on a clean configuration ?

See comment #3.

Feel free to reopen this ticket if the issue persists, but I was unable to reproduce the bug. Perhaps there was a kded4 issue on your system which might have caused kpasswdserver to malfunction.

Hi, I'm sorry for no response until now. In the next releases of KDE this bug was solved, in 4.8.5 if I'm not wrong.
