User:Standard8/MailNews Password Manager Migration

Current Status

• Main Core changes in place (PW migration, nsIAuthPrompt handling).
  • May require further changes to PW migration routines
• Patches for SM Prefs, tools menu, front-end bug 390025
  • May be out-of-date
• Build config & installer patch on bug 239131, need to get reviews when a bit closer.
• TB UI patch needs updating bug 239131
• Backend-changes required (see below)

Current Problems

• News logins probably won't migrate properly.
• Mail logins may not migrate properly if username has been changed since account was created (the uri uses the original account username) - or if they do, it'll be confusing to the user.
• Need to check consistency of nsIURI::path for the mailnews uris.
• Need to provide smtp protocol handler for mailnews (and any others that are missing).
• Need secure version of LDAP protocol handler.
• Some incorrect refcount or something causing cycle collector issues?

Notes to self

• mailbox = pop3
• ldap/ldaps is correct

Current formats of urls

Site	Username	nsIAuthPrompt Calls
imap://username@host	username	PromptPassword
ldap://localhost:389/dc=test	<>	PromptPassword
mailbox://username@host	username	PromptPassword
smtp://username@host	<>	PromptPassword and PromptUsernameAndPassword
news://localhost:119/#password news://localhost:119/#username	<> <>	Prompt and PromptPassword

Proposed new format

Hostname (site)	httpRealm	username	nsIAuthPrompt Calls
imap://host	imap://host	username	PromptPassword
ldap://localhost	ldap://localhost/dc=test	username +++	PromptPassword
mailbox://host	mailbox://host	username	PromptPassword
smtp://host	smtp://host	username	PromptPassword and PromptUsernameAndPassword
news://localhost/	news://localhost/	username	PromptUsernameAndPassword

Misc Notes

• formSubmitURL is always not set.
• httpRealm is always set as you must set on of httpRealm or formSubmitURL (in LDAP case we need this anyway).
• +++ username for LDAP won't be used straight away as it needs other bugs fixing first.
