how to configure Firefox to automatically reuse the login credentials like IE

Question

I created a ironpython project in visual studio and I want it to run as executable

I tried creating the executable with pyc but it doesn't work(It does absolutly nothing).

ipy.exe Tools\Scripts\pyc.py /main:"C:\<Path>\WpfApplication1.py" /target:winexe

then i created a small sample project to see if that works

WpfApplication1.py

    import wpf
    from System.Windows import Application, Window


    class MyWindow(Window):
         def __init__(self):
            wpf.LoadComponent(self, 'WpfApplication1.xaml')
            self.button.Content = 'My Button'
            self.textbox.Text = 'My Text'

        def Button_Click(self, sender, e):
            self.label.Content = self.textbox.Text


    if __name__ == '__main__':
        Application().Run(MyWindow())

and the xaml

    <Window 
   xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" 
   xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" 
   Title="WpfApplication1" Height="300" Width="300"> 
   <Grid>
    <TextBox x:Name="textbox" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,12,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" />
    <Button x:Name="button" Content="Button" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,41,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75"  Click="Button_Click"/>
    <Label x:Name="label" Height="28" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="47,117,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="182" />
</Grid>

same problem nothing happens when i execute it, how do I even debug that?

Solution

You need to enable NTLM Configuration within FireFox. It is very simple to do and should solve your problem:

1. Open Firefox and type “about:config” in the address bar. (without the quotes of course)
2. In the ‘Filter’ field type the following “network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris”
3. Double click the name of the preference that we just searched for

4. Enter the URLs of the sites you wish to pass NTLM auth info to in the form of:

   http://intranet.company.com,http://email.company.lan

5. Notice that you can use a comma separated list in this field.

Shouldn't the popup have a checkbox to remember the password? Does it keep prompting for it even if you check that?

[Naili]

The default configuration of Firefox should do that (remember your authentication) within the same "session" (whether you ask it to remember the password for later or not). I'd recommend installing Firebug and snooping on the traffic (particularly the Authorization header) to see if there's some issue with the authentication, such as setting a really short timeout or some such.

Did you remove your old question/thread without giving any credit? o0

Secondly, shouldn't /target:winexe be /target:exe ?

[Yui]

I accepted it before deleting it to create this question, I thought that would count. I tried editing the old question but it seems I don't have enought reputation for that. I use /target:winexe because its a wpf, otherwise it opens the cmd.

[Torxed]

Ah right you're probably creating a GUI not a console application.

[Matt Ward]

If you do not see anything whilst running your application you can switch to use /target:exe instead of /target:winexe. Then when you run the application from a command prompt you can see the exception.

Clumsily but works! Thanks!
