Bug#651175: midori does not save OpenID logins

December 06th, 2011 - 09:10 am ET by shirish शिरीष | Report spam
Package: midori
Version: 0.4.2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
I use OpenID a lot with different sites. How I do use it is to
use the openid
on sites which give that functionality which is already synced/oked
with my gmail
account. This way the browser does not have to remember the passwords and I
can login anywhere without taking along data about passwords and things.

Now with midori for e.g. if I go to sourceforge.net and ask it to
remember my sign in using OpenID, while it does log me in, after a few
minutes it just plainly forgets. For e.g. I was trying to write a
bug-report in http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/hale/ and it promptly
sent me back to login page. This has happened quite a few of times.
This is when it is showing me that I have logged in both to trac and
sourceforge.net at the time of writing the bug-report. I tried with
other browsers (not webkit based ones though) and it was a non-issue
there.

Debian Release: wheezy/sid
APT prefers unstable
APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'),
(1, 'experimental')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)

Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash

I have no idea how openid works but it'd definitely help if you tried
with other webkit-based browsers (starting with the GtkLauncher). Maybe
check in the “Privacy” tab in preferences, too.



Dear Yves-Alexis Perez,

First of all thank you for getting me back promptly on this .

Well, as far as 'Privacy' in Preferences tab is concerned, this is the
way I had set it :-

Delete old cookies - after 1 month
checked only accept cookies from sites you visit
checked Enable offline web application cache - dunno if this is needed
or not, have not really any idea.Can you let me know what does this do
?

There is HTML 5 storage stuff there which I haven't checked as yet.

Now as far as GTKlauncher is concerned I signed in and did everything
without an issue

https://openid.net/get-an-openid/what-is-openid/

I also found another issue with GTKLauncher but perhaps that's my
mistake, I don't know :-

$ ./usr/lib/webkitgtk-1.0-0/libexec/GtkLauncher
bash: ./usr/lib/webkitgtk-1.0-0/libexec/GtkLauncher: No such file or directory

but if I do :-

/usr/lib/webkitgtk-1.0-0/libexec$ ./GtkLauncher

then it works.

Regards,
Yves-Alexis



Chromium, the only other webkit-based browser I know does not work,
get the aw snap thing, which I did read about in the debian bts.

That's about it, lemme know what else I can do.
