RTC Eclipse client password management
Hi all,
We have a concern about password maintenance on the RTC Eclipse client. On that client if possible to check the option Remember my password. This option is not admissible due to our security constraints, so:
1.- Is it possible/easy to avoid showing this option??
2.- In any case I understand that if this option is unchecked the password will never be stored on the local machine. Is it correct?. In addition if the option is previously checked and after that it is unchecked all the information about password stored will be deleted, isnt it?
Thanks!

One answer
1. No
2. Yes this is what was intended.
Unfortunately on review of the code I found an edge case were we might not
clear the password. I have logged bug 85814 to fix this case.
In the correct usage, if the option is unchecked the password is not stored
on the local machine.
When the option is unchecked, all the password information is cleared.
See com.ibm.team.foundation.rcp.core.PasswordUtil for the implementation
details.
To ensure that a password is cleared:
Right click on your repository connection
Select Properties
Uncheck "Remember my password"
Click OK
Thanks
