Description

Actual behaviour
  • When http:// url is set on the login view, a dialog box appears warning us of a security breach. This dialog appears several times if we rotate the device, even if we have accepted a security vulnerability.
Expected behaviour
  • The dialog should only appear once after you have clicked continue button in the dialog.
Steps to reproduce
  1. On the login screen, enter an HTTP server.
  2. Once you have entered the server, you will see a dialog box informing you of the vulnerability.
  3. Click continue button.
  4. Rotate the device.
  5. The dialog box will reappear.

Research direction

Start from the Android login view flow that handles an http:// server URL and displays the security warning. Reproduce the issue by accepting the warning, rotating the device, and checking whether the dialog returns; done means the warning stays dismissed after rotation and the existing login flow still works.
