In OpenSUSE 12.2 in the proxy configuration dialog there is the possibility to enter a username and a password for proxy authentication. Does anyone know, where this information is stored in the system?
I know of the possibility to supply those directly in the http_proxy variable, just like so
export http_proxy=http://user:password@hostname:port
But in this case the password is human readable in an environment variable which kinda sucks. So, I really like the OpenSUSE method, but I'd like to know, what's going on behind the curtain. Where is the password stored?
