Screenshot of pop-up window that asks for username for extension updates

Tools -> Extension Manager -> Check for updates.
Expected behavior: check for and propose updates, if available
Observed behavior: "Authentication required" window pops up, stating "Enter username and password for: updateexte.libreoffice.org" (see screenshot)

Clicking OK does nothing.
Clicking Cancel, after the second time, gives an error pop-up window: "General internet error has occurred."

Windows 7 professional (at work behind proxy, maybe related?)

Comment 1 Buddhi 2015-03-28 03:57:13 UTC
I tried to reproduce the bug in Windows 7 64-bit environment with LibreOffice Version: 4.4.1.2.It worked fine.Did not prompted for a authentication.I can make a suggestion.Sometimes it's asking Windows authentications if you're not using it with Admin privileges.
Comment 2 Bart 2015-03-31 09:45:22 UTC
I tried running as administrator (Windows Start menu > right-click on LibreOffice Writer > run as administrator). Didn't resolve the problem.
I'm behind a proxy, but in Tools > Options > Internet > Proxy, "proxy server" is set to "system" so should work...
Comment 3 Buovjaga 2016-09-24 16:42:50 UTC
Is it still happening with LibreOffice 5.2?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

Still the same behaviour with LibreOffice Writer 5.3.2.2 on Windows 10 Pro.
Comment 7 Bart 2017-05-31 12:57:50 UTC
Solved. Problem was related to two old extensions that are apparently no longer maintained.

One part of problem traced to extension "COOoder" (https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/coooder).
Removing it solved one of the two demands for authentification.

Second (and final) part of the problem resolved by removing "American English spelling-hyphenation-thesaurus-797865-words" 2012.11.23 by "KPP and NA-DVD"

Comment 8 Bart 2017-05-31 13:02:43 UTC
I suggest the offending extensions be checked, and if necessary removed from the official LibreOffice extension collection.
