I think showing this only upon failure is good ­ if the user is also given
the option to sore the credentials in the browser.  That way, you only have
to re-enter the credentials once if you want convenience, or do it every
time if you want improved security.

One downside would be that if you don¹t cache the credentials, you¹ll have
to ³fail² the auth every time to be given the chance to re-enter the
credentials.  It may not be obvious that clicking ³run tests² will then let
you enter new credentials.   I was thinking that having a button you can
press to enter the credentials would make it more obvious, but wouldn¹t
reduce the number of clicksŠ I.e. either run tests and fail or click ³Enter
credentials² and enter new ones.  The ³Enter credential² option would
obviously be a little fasterŠ

Subject:  Re: [openstack-dev] [Fuel] [OSTF] OSTF stops working after
password is changed

I'm wondering if we can show all these windows ONLY if there is authz
failure with existing credentials from Nailgun.
So the flow would be: user clicks on "Run tests" button, healthcheck tries
to access OpenStack and fails. It shows up text fields to enter
tenant/user/pass with the message similar to "Default administrative
credentials to OpenStack were changed since the deployment time. Please
provide current credentials so HealthCheck can access OpenStack and run
verification tests."

I think it should be more obvious this way...

Anyone, it must be a choice for a user, if he wants to store creds in a
browser.
