Subject: auth-sources: 8 password prompts for accessing one single imap server
Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2010 02:09:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ocbkujwr.fsf@thinkpad.tsdh.de> (raw)
Hi Ted,
I've just made my system a bit more secure by eventually encryting my
.authinfo file. But now I have to enter my passwort for that file *8*
times per imap account! Here's a typical "conversation":
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Opening TLS connection to `mail.uni-koblenz.de'...
Opening TLS connection with `gnutls-cli -p imaps mail.uni-koblenz.de'...done
Opening TLS connection to `mail.uni-koblenz.de'...done
auth-source-user-or-password: get (login password) for Uni (143) + user=nil
/home/horn/.authinfo: 0% (0/248)
/home/horn/.authinfo: 100% (248/248)
/home/horn/.authinfo: 0% (0/248)
/home/horn/.authinfo: 100% (248/248)
auth-source-user-or-password: get (login password) for Uni (993) + user=nil
/home/horn/.authinfo: 0% (0/248)
/home/horn/.authinfo: 100% (248/248)
/home/horn/.authinfo: 0% (0/248)
/home/horn/.authinfo: 100% (248/248)
auth-source-user-or-password: get (login password) for Uni (imap) + user=nil
/home/horn/.authinfo: 0% (0/248)
/home/horn/.authinfo: 100% (248/248)
/home/horn/.authinfo: 0% (0/248)
/home/horn/.authinfo: 100% (248/248)
auth-source-user-or-password: get (login password) for Uni (imaps) + user=nil
/home/horn/.authinfo: 0% (0/248)
/home/horn/.authinfo: 100% (248/248)
/home/horn/.authinfo: 0% (0/248)
/home/horn/.authinfo: 100% (248/248)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
As you can see, 1) it queries for a password for each possible imap port
or port name. And 2), for each of those, I have to type my password 2
times.
I think 1) is clearly a bug, but it makes Gnus pretty unusable for me.
I have 4 accounts that need passwords!
2) might be caused by the fact that my ~/.authinfo.gpg is only a symlink
to another file.
Bye,
Tassilo
