I use Java Web Start. The file is on http server, that needs name and password (it's windows server). What the Java Web start does is this (with user and IP redacted):
The same on MS Windows client. There is this "Save this password in your password list" option, that does nothing at all (on both Mac OS and Windows), when running this java web start app again, it wants the password again.
Is it a bug in JWS? Or what is going on exactly?
