Any progress on this issue? I have the latest version of Mantis installed and the Save Login feature does not work.

Are you still using 0.17.5?

Can you give more details on the mantis version, server version and browser?

There must be a parameter or setting I am missing because I noticed that the login for this Mantis does retain the username and password. I am using Mantis 19.2, IE 6.0. Mantis is setup on IIS.

I have noticed the following:

1. If you use this link to go to mantis: http://bugs.mantisbt.org/login_page.php
2. Enter your username + password + checkbox 'save login'
3. Close your internet browser
4. Go to http://bugs.mantisbt.org/login_page.php

Then ofcourse you get the 'login page' !

So in step 4 go to Go to http://bugs.mantisbt.org/ instead.... then you're logged in.

I guess people expect the form to be pre-filled when they visit it after having checked off 'Save Login'.

Since the password isn't stored in clear format anywhere, we can't fill in that field, but to pre-fill the username, you could add this code to your login_page.php:

Between the "echo '<div>'" and the "?>" (line 55) add:

$t_cookie_string = auth_get_current_user_cookie();
if ( auth_is_cookie_valid( $t_cookie_string ) ) {
$t_current_id = auth_get_current_user_id();
if ($t_current_id<>0) {
$t_current_user = user_get_name($t_current_id);
}
}

and then, in the username input field, add:

value="<? echo $t_current_user ?>"

I was able to get the autocomplete of login and password to work when I set the session.save_path variable in php.ini. Hope this helps.

The auto-login now works when the user uses http://www.example.com/mantis/ or http://www.example.com/mantis/login_page.php. The user is now also redirected to the default home page, rather than always to main_page.php.
