Use System Credentials for Web Site Authentication

Specification Status
Author	Kai Sommerfeld
Last Change
Status (Help)	Preliminary

Abstract

OOo is able to access resources (web sites, ftp sites, ...) which require authentication. For this, users have to provide username/password combination. This specification is about an enhancement for OOo that makes it possible (currently under some very certain circumstances) to use the system credentials of the currently active OOo user to authenticate for resource access.

Accessibility

Accessibility is the responsibility of the I-Team, beginning with UX, DEV and QA, to ensure that the following requirements are fulfilled:

1. Is the feature fully keyboard accessible?
   (Ex: "I can go everywhere and use every function using the keyboard only"
   <START TYPING HERE>
2. Have I specified visual alternatives for the case that the specified feature includes audio as output?
   <START TYPING HERE>
3. Are text alternatives for all icons and graphics available?
   <Start typing here>
4. Don't provide important information in colors alone
   (Ex: marking important information hard coded in red)
   <START TYPING HERE>
5. Does the specified feature respect system settings for font, size, and color for all windows and user interface elements?
   <START TYPING HERE>
6. Have I ensured that flash rates do not exceed 2 hertz for blinking text, objects, or other elements? In any case, try to avoid flashing UI elements
   <START TYPING HERE>
7. Ensure that assistive technology (AT) (like ZoomText or Orca) is able to read everything.
