6.5.0-T338 Email Alert Password Not Shown

[StephenB]

When you enter the system->settings->alerts the system shows the email password as blank. Alerts work, but any test messages require manual re-entry of the password.

What should happen:  

If there is a password, it should be shown as ••••••• 

Test emails should use the currently provisioned passwords and not require a re-entry.

Hi StephenB,

Have you already tried the latest BETA ?

Regards,

[StephenB]

I am running rc3 right now.  This issue is still there.

Hello StephenB,

Thanks.

Thanks. We are aware of this issue. I'm checking with engineering to see if there is any update on it. At this stage I think it's unlikely a fix for this problem will make it into 6.5.0.

It should be fixed, but I agree it shouldn't hold up 6.5.0 release.  It's a minor annoyance.

This is the exact same thing that I see in release 6.4.2 on my ReadyNAS PRO Buisness NAS.

It is NOT a show-stopper, and I would not hold up any new releases just for this.

It's not completely lost, as real alerts are still delivered.  It's not displayed, and sending a test email w/o re-entering the password will set the password to blank,
