Subject: 24.3; auth-source.el option "auth-source-do-cache" ignored
Date: Mon, 09 Jun 2014 22:01:05 -0400
The documentation gives the impression that setting auth-source-do-cache
to nil should prevent auth-source from caching credentials. I have
experimentally tested this and found it to be false. As far as I can
tell, auth-source-do-cache is only checked in the function
auth-source-search. It seems to me that it should also be checked in
auth-source-remember and perhaps other associated functions.
