LDAP - No password need entering for Web UI?

Silly question time as I have a feeling I know whats coming...

Is there any way that the current windows domain account can be passed to RTC to allow them to sign in without having to enter a password? Or are there plans afoot to have the "Remember User ID" to also include "Remember Password" and "Log me in automatically"?

The management layer does not want to use eclipse, and as LDAP is providing the credentials, I've been asked if it can all be joined up to get in to RTC Web UI

Eclipse is not a problem as once the credentials are stored, it will log in automatically, but the Web UI doesn't

I'm not aware of any support for using Windows domain accounts for logging into Jazz Web servers, but feel free to create a work item to request this feature in a future release.

Browsers typically have built-in support for offering to remember user ids and passwords for login forms, but this does not work for the Jazz log-in dialog for technical reasons about how the dialog is implemented (the Remember User ID was added to temporarily mitigate this). There is an enhancement open to improve the log-in dialog which will allow browsers to correctly remember the credentials:

Thanks for the reply. As I was writing that I think my mind wandered from Windows domain accounts to just a simple cookie based remember me! The latter being a very useful enhancement!
