Description arne anka 2015-01-28 19:27:45 UTC
i have access to a server via webdavs and own several accounts there.
while one is the main account, i nevertheless want to access also the others -- but since i saved the credentials for main account, i have no chance to use another account, since dolphin by default uses the stored credentials and offers no way to use any other.

Reproducible: Always

Have you tried using the webdavs://username@<url> syntax? This works for me whenever I need to use other accounts.

Hi,

I've got the same behaviour here. I have multiple webdav accounts on a cloud service, but I only have access to one.

I have tried the webdavs://username@<url> syntax but the username gets ignored. When I try with a username I have never used before, I get the password dialog. Then I can enter the password and store it. From now on I have only access to that webdav resource, even when I change the username in the URL I always land on this resource and there's no way to get access to any other.

I've tested this with dolphin now and also with the file open dialog in okular. I can access one resource in dolphin and a different one in okular. But there's no way to change the username if entered once in a context.

I have tried to logout and login. And then I can access the webdav resource with a different username, but that name is then again locked for the whole session.

This seems to be a caching problem per context and session so far to me. Either the cache is not cleared, when the same resource is accessed with a different username or there gets no new session started, when the URL is the same, but the username changes.


Best
Matthias

Hi.

Sorry for the late reply, but this bug is still present in 5.27.7.

In the syntax webdavs://username@<url> the username just gets ignored.

Best regards
Matthias
