    <description>&lt;P&gt;There is a Splunk web.conf attribute called "enable_autocomplete_login" which is
affecting the behavior you are seeing in Firefox where the:
"Do you want Firefox to remember the password for ...." 
never displays. It is related to the use of autocompletion.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Starting with 4.0.7, this default setting was changed from True (enable) to False (disable)
eg.
enable_autocomplete_login = False&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;To allow the browser to remember the password, modify the default setting and add into
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/web.conf in the [settings] stanza
enable_autocomplete_login = True&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Note: do not change the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/web.conf but create
/etc/system/local/web.conf if it does not exist.
Include the entry below and restart Splunk for this to take affect.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;PRE&gt;&lt;CODE&gt;[settings]
# Enable/Disable Form Username and Password storage prompts and control form
# data from being cached in session history. 
enable_autocomplete_login = True
&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;</description>

      <title>After 4.1.2 on the Splunk UI login, I no longer see the browser prompt 'Do you want Firefox to remember the password for ...'</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;After 4.1.2 on the Splunk UI login, I noticed under Firefox 3.6.x  the browser prompt for 'Do you want Firefox to remember the password for ...' no longer displays.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Nothing has changed with my default Firefox settings from my earlier Splunk version.
For my new 4.1.x environments that I also administer, it is a hassle to have to manually enter in my username and password each time I need to access those systems.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;What changed from prior releases and can I get this fixed?&lt;/P&gt;</description>
