Description Lukas Jelinek 2014-02-08 19:47:16 UTC 
When loading/saving via the "server dialog" (currently unnamed, see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74720), some server connection types don't work. Namely:

WebDAV
The server settings are saved but nothing other happens. Clicking on the connection icon does nothing. Double-clicking opens the dialog where the "Login" field is empty.

SSH
A similar situation as for WebDAV but the difference is that all fields in the dialog are lost after re-opening.

Windows share
The same thing again but all fields are saved.

Repro steps:
1) Open LibreOffice and enable LibreOffice dialogs
2) CTRL-O, then click "Servers" and fill out details for an SSH server
3) Click the "OK" button

RESULT: No connection

4) Double-click on the named icon for the connection just filled-in, and (aside from the name), the fields are now empty.

CONFIRMED: fields in the dialog are lost.

Status -> NEW

Access to remote files was rewrited and thus there is no reason to solve this issue. It may be closed.

It sounds like these server connection issues could significantly impact usability. It would be helpful to identify if this behavior is consistent across all systems or isolated to specific versions. A workaround or fix for retaining login details across WebDAV, SSH, and Windows share connections would greatly improve the functionality of the server dialog. Are there any planned updates or ongoing investigations for this bug?

I was experiencing similar issues with WebDAV connections in an earlier version, but after updating to the latest LibreOffice release, the problem seems to have resolved itself. It might have been related to specific server configurations, as adjusting my WebDAV server settings also helped. If anyone else is still facing this, I recommend double-checking the server compatibility and ensuring you're on the latest LibreOffice version.  https://mainvps.net/usa-hdd-windows-vps
