Description
seen while testing 2.1.1 - but not a regression, same with earlier versions
- admin enters his username and password in the owncloud login page.
- admin hits the 'Login' button, login succeeds. OK
- ldap user enters his username and password in the owncloud login page.
- ldap user hits the 'Kopano' button, his credentials are wiped out. BAD.
- he has to enter them again. then the login succeeds via IDP.
Expected behaviour:
- UX-background: As both buttons 'Login' and 'Kopano' are styled identical and one is advertised as an alternative to the other, it is reasonable that users assume the actions on this page are identical in both cases.
- The kopano login expects that the login data are only entered after hitting the 'Kopano' button, but not before. In case the user has entered them before, they should be pre-filled into the IDP-login page.

Research direction
Start with the ownCloud login page and trace the Login and Kopano button flows into the IDP-login page, reproducing the credential-clearing behavior described. Done means credentials entered before selecting Kopano are preserved and pre-filled in the IDP login flow, while the existing Login flow still succeeds.
