Subject: Credentials and the Secrets API...
Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:05:03 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAEBDL5Udooim_3Za76Q1Rt_aGXtsSv76nxRegGWRBE=WJQzfZA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Just wanted to keep folks in the loop. It turns out that the Secrets
API is still to young. I asked about the format to store credentials
in (as far as attributes), and got a response from a KDE developer
that says it's still to young on their front. They hope to have
support in the next release of KDE. But there's still the issue of
what attributes to use.
With that information, I went ahead and created a
gnome-credential-keyring that uses Gnome's Keyring facility. I still
need to do a few more things (mainly run it against Jeff's tests), but
it's generally working. Just wanted to keep folks in the loop.
Hopefully, I can get patches out this weekend.
Jeff: it would be really excellent to break out the various pieces. I
think it would also be better to split the asking for passwords from
the storing of passwords.
