4.3. Configuring the Guvnor Connection Wizard

If the authentication information is not stored in the key-ring, then the EGT uses a session authentication. This means that the credentials supplied are only used during the lifetime of the Eclipse workbench instance.

If an authentication failure error occurs, you can retry the same operation and supply different authentication information.

The Eclipse key-ring file is distinct from key-ring files found in some platforms such as Mac OS X and many forms of Linux. Thus, sometimes if you access a Guvnor repository outside the EGT, the key-ring files might become outdated, and you will be unexpectedly prompted for your credentials in Eclipse. This is nuisance, but in this case you can simply re-enter the appropriate username and password.
