Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 14
### What happened
Since the snap upgrade from version 13 to version 14, Netbeans no longer transparently upload the files on save.
It rather prompts for a "password for your certificate" and then for the user credentials on the server.
### How to reproduce
Create a new project, choose: Remote Website(FTP,SFTP)
Create a Remote Connection:
Enter Host Name, Username and leave Password empty
Change other settings if needed
Then click on the Test Connection" button, you should be asked for a certificate password and then for the user password on the server.
Expected behavior: A success message in a pop-up
### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
Apache NetBeans 13
### Operating System
Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
### JDK
openjdk version "11.0.15" 2022-04-19 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.15+10-Ubuntu-0ubuntu0.20.04.1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.15+10-Ubuntu-0ubuntu0.20.04.1, mixed mode, sharing)
### Apache NetBeans packaging
Apache NetBeans Snap Package
### Anything else
In the meantime, I reverted to version 13 but strangely the problem still occurs after the reversion (cache related problem?)
Connection to the server using sftp in command line works transparently (no passphrase/password prompt).
### Are you willing to submit a pull request?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue through the Remote Website (FTP,SFTP) project setup and its Remote Connection Test Connection action, comparing NetBeans 14 with version 13 and the Snap package. Done means the connection succeeds without unexpected certificate or server-password prompts and files upload transparently on save.
