            Bug ID: 107649
           Summary: Provide an advanced configuration option to always try
                    system credentials first for all network resources
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mikekaganski at hotmail.com

Opening a remote resource (e.g., using WebDAV) requires providing
authentication parameters (user name and password). For resources supporting
single sign-on protocols supported by LO, user may also use "system
credentials" using respective checkbox in auth dialog. If user also checks
"Remember password", then the URI is stored in the
org.openoffice.Office.Common::Passwords::AuthenticateUsingSystemCredentials
string list, and after that, connections to that URI are always made using
system credentials first.

The proposal is to have additional advanced configuration option that would
automatically try system credentials before showing the auth dialog to the
user, for all URIs, even absent from AuthenticateUsingSystemCredentials, to
avoid extraneous UI e.g. in corporate environments.
