[QGIS-Developer] Auth-config and single sign-on with Windows login

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Jürgen, 

I wouldn't know how this works. When I create a new PG connection, it
forces me to add a username and password. I can't create a new
connection without specifying one. Even if the Windows password manager
already knows my windows credentials, which are the same as the PG
credentials. As a "stupid user" I would either expect: 

- not being asked for credentials (means that QGIS would automagically
forward the Windows credentials) 

- or when creating a new auth-conf, having a choice like "use windows
credentials" and then not being asked for username/password, because
QGIS already knows it from Windows. 

But maybe I am just not correctly handling it. 

The one thing I noticed is that the Windows password manager
automatically loads the master password of the QGIS password manager. So
that one seems to work.
