APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Setting the "Remember User ID" checkbox in the IBM Rational
  ClearQuest (CQ) Web 7.1 login panel, would default the cursor to
  jump to the Password field. In CQ Web 8 the cursor goes to the
  User ID field. Users inherently start typing their passwords
  when the form is loaded not realizing that they are typing it in
  cleartext in the username field.  It is a security risk. The
  actual behavior is not consistent. It depends on browser type
  and version.
  
  Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) versions which can see this
  issue include, but not limited to the below:
  
  IE 8.0.6001.18702
  IE 10.0.9200.17089
  IE 10.0.9200.17183
  IE 11.0.9600.16384
  IE 11.0.9600.17420

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available in ClearQuest 8.0.0.16 and 8.0.1.9.
  In the ClearQuest Web login dialog window, the cursor will now
  set the focus to the Password field when "Remember User ID" is
  checked.
