Can bazaar remember the password using protocol https+webdav?

Question

For any push/pull operation on a https+webdav Bazaar repository, bzr asks for my password. Can bazaar remember the password using https+webdav without putting it in the repo URL (similarly to git)?

Answer 1

authentication.conf (see also the developer documentation) allows you to configure a password for a particular host.

authentication.conf looks like this:

[webdav.foo.fr]
scheme=https # https even if the repo URL is https+webdav
host=webdav.foo.fr
user=monperrus
password=sdfozaekjh

The password may also be specified in netrc:

[webdav.foo.fr]
scheme=https
host=webdav.foo.fr
user=monperrus
password_encoding=netrc
