I use full disk encryption to not have to type everything’s password, and not worrying about unsafe applications about this.
How can I enter Tryton with only selecting saved profile?
Most of the password manager or keychain support to copy/paste the password in an entry.
I do not think Tryton should include such password manager as it is a hard job to get it right.
Just add a “password” variable at ~/.config/tryton/…/profiles.cfg and a checkbox to GUI login, labelled as “Unsafe remember of password”.
Well this will not be safe storing in clear text password in a configuration file.
But I think it will be doable to create plugins that enhance the login process (like Connect Tryton to Gluu using oxd-server). Such plugin could request password from password manager and automatically fill the entry.
I prefer an offline solution than Gluu. No third parties should be required for any feature inlinked to online services.
I made some tests with https://pypi.org/project/keyring/ for another app.
Easy to implement and working on multiple os.

It would be nice if tryton supported kerberos. I would be surprised if this requirement hadn’t come up yet, as I think companies that implement an ERP usually use something like ActiveDirectory or FreeIPA.
I’m aware of that, but I’m talking about the client getting a kerberos ticket and presenting that to the server. Doing the authentication server-side to the ldap server kinda defeats the purpose of kerberos and single-sign-on.
Tryton 6 released.
Any progress for this?
Lots of applications allow saving passwords and this is not incompatible with keyring / key managers later.
