      1.Disable the option "Enable caching password for authentication" in java control panel
      2.Clear the cache
      3.Start browser, launch the following java applet: http://mossad.us.oracle.com:8080/digestAuth/tests/Test.html
      4.Expected behavior: In the authentication dialog, it can be noticed that there is an option check box available "Remember my password" is no longer there.
      5.Enter the following authentication details: Username: jituD, Password: jitu
      6.The applet should be loaded fine
      7.Restart the browser to access the same applet page again, make sure you will be asked again for authentication

      ---

      The actual result:
      - first time the applet is loaded ' authentication information is already filled in but the auth window is shown
      - next time the applet is loaded without showing auth dialog
