Description Rob Shinn 2012-03-30 09:39:02 UTC

Wiki Publisher Version 1.1

Steps to reproduce:
1.  Either select Tools -> Options -> Internet -> MediaWiki or go through the Extension Manager
2.  Click "Add.."
3.  In the URL, put the Media URL.  In my case,my URL looked like 'http://www.example.com/wiki'.
4.  Fill out username and password.
5.  Note that Save Password box is still greyed out (that's another bug)
6.  Click Ok.

Expected results:
The dialog box should login to the wiki and allow me to save the username and pasword.

Actual results:  
Error received is "User name or password is incorrect.  Please try again, or leave the fields blank for an anonymous connection."

Other notes:
* MediaWiki version is 1.16.2
* I am using version 1.2d of the the LDAP Authentication Extension for   MediaWiki. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication

I can confirm that this problem still exists in the following:
LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 (build ID 281b639-6baa1d3-ef66a77-d866f25-f36d45f)
Windows7 64 bit English
Mediawiki 1.16 on OpenBSD 4.6
Wikipublisher 1.1.1

I confirm the same.
LibreOffice version: 3.6.1.2
Platform: Windows 7 64 bit English
Mediawiki 1.16 on windows

Comment 3 Rob Shinn 2013-03-13 20:51:11 UTC

I can confirm that this is still an issue in LibreOFfice Version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:2)) on Linux Mint 14 (Ubuntu 12.10) and MediaWiki 1.16 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3

Comment 4 Julien Nabet 2014-02-20 21:52:20 UTC

Rob: I might be wrong but about the grey save password checkbox, you must first check the option "Persistently save password for web connections" in LO general/Security tab.

For the rest, could you give an update with a newer LO version? (Last one is 4.1.5 or 4.2.1)

Comment 5 Claus Kulis 2014-03-23 20:50:25 UTC

Julien,
I can confirm that the password checkbox becomes available once you checked the option "Persistently save password for web connections" in LO general/Security tab.

The other problem is still existing in LibreOffice Version 4.2.2.1 (Portable Version !) 
Platform is Win 7 64 bit

Remark: In fact the upload to MediaWiki worked for exactly 1 time - so I'm pretty sure that username and password are correct. After this first time I always received "User name or password is incorrect.  Please try again, or leave the fields blank for an anonymous connection."

Thank you Claus for your feedback, I put it back to NEW since I don't have more questions.
