Bug ID: 491715
Summary: Plasma does not prompt for username and password when
using a proxy with authentication
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kwallet
Version: 6.4.0
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

SUMMARY
I am on an intranet that requires access to an HTTP proxy with authentication
every time I need to access the Internet (either HTTP or FTP protocol).
The proxy configuration and the user and password it requires are configured in
the system proxy (openSUSE's YaST, but it could be any other Linux) and it
works correctly. When I update the system or add repositories, I don't need to
enter the proxy username and password because the system provides them from the
configuration I made previously. Applications that have access to the Internet,
such as browsers, even though the username and password are in the system proxy
settings, ask for the username and password when accessing the Internet for the
first time in the session.
The openSUSE installer does not ask for the credentials, because they are
already stored in the system proxy configuration and the Plasma proxy should
also use the same ones. Discover, however, prompts for the proxy credentials
when launching the proxy. This is not a problem, but it is confusing that if
the Plasma proxy takes the system proxy settings, it still requires the user to
provide those credentials.
The real problem with this is that only “Discover” asks for credentials, in
order to access the Internet. All other native Plasma applications do NOT
request the credentials and fail. For example, from "System preferences, Global
theme", if I try to “Get new ...” themes, cursors, color schemes, window
decorations, etc, Plasma doesn't show nothing cause is not able to access the
Internet and, at best, shows a window with the message “Network error 0: Proxy
requires authentication”.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure system proxy
2. Configure Plasma proxy to get same system configuration
3. Launch "System preferences, Global Theme, Cursors" and click on "Get new
cursors".
OBSERVED RESULT
A Plasma window showing "An error happened" appears, showing "Network error 0:
Proxy requires authentication”.
EXPECTED RESULT
To show downloadable cursors
