Automatic login sometimes doesn't "stick"

I'm using Vault 3.1.8 on Windows Server 2003 R2 64 bit. The Vault webservice is running on the 2.0 framework in a 32-bit worker process with it's own AppPool.

Using both Visual Studio 2003 and the Vault GUI client to connect to the server works just fine except for one small detail: The checkbox to "automatically connect using this profile" sometimes doesn't "stick". If I check the box and connect, then shut down and restart the client, I sometimes get a message box that says "the user name or password is incorrect", after which I choose the very same profile, re-check the checkbox to automatically connect next time, and proceed to connect without any problem. I generally see this message when I've shut down the client on one day and opened it again the next day. Simply closing and re-opening the client works fine. In the cases that I've noted this problem, I was running the client on the same machine as the server, in case that matters.

I didn't see anything in the 3.1.9 release notes that seemed related, so here I am.

The checkbox to "automatically connect using this profile" sometimes doesn't "stick".

This could be a known bug. If you connect with a profile in the IDE, it clears the "automatically connect" setting in the GUI client profile. Could this be what you are experiencing?

Yep. That fits. I assume a fix will appear in some future version - it's only a minor annoyance, so no rush on my part.

Yes, we have it logged in our bug tracking system and plan to fix it in a future release.
