Detailed Description

DBusKeyring data structure.

Types and functions related to DBusKeyring. DBusKeyring is intended to manage cookies used to authenticate clients to servers. This is essentially the "verify that client can read the user's homedir" authentication mechanism. Both client and server must have access to the homedir.

The secret keys are not kept in locked memory, and are written to a file in the user's homedir. However they are transient (only used by a single server instance for a fixed period of time, then discarded). Also, the keys are not sent over the wire.

Function Documentation

◆ _dbus_keyring_get_best_key()

int _dbus_keyring_get_best_key ( DBusKeyring keyring,
DBusError error 
)

Gets a recent key to use for authentication.

If no recent key exists, creates one. Returns the key ID. If a key can't be written to the keyring file so no recent key can be created, returns -1. All valid keys are > 0.

Parameters
keyringthe keyring
errorerror on failure
Returns
key ID to use for auth, or -1 on failure

◆ _dbus_keyring_get_hex_key()

dbus_bool_t _dbus_keyring_get_hex_key ( DBusKeyring keyring,
int  key_id,
DBusString hex_key 
)

Gets the hex-encoded secret key for the given ID.

Returns FALSE if not enough memory. Returns TRUE but empty key on any other error such as unknown key ID.

Parameters
keyringthe keyring
key_idthe key ID
hex_keystring to append hex-encoded key to
Returns
TRUE if we had enough memory

◆ _dbus_keyring_is_for_credentials()

dbus_bool_t _dbus_keyring_is_for_credentials ( DBusKeyring keyring,
DBusCredentials credentials 
)

Checks whether the keyring is for the same user as the given credentials.

Parameters
keyringthe keyring
credentialsthe credentials to check
Returns
TRUE if the keyring belongs to the given user

◆ _dbus_keyring_new_for_credentials()

DBusKeyring * _dbus_keyring_new_for_credentials ( DBusCredentials credentials,
const DBusString context,
DBusError error 
)

◆ _dbus_keyring_ref()

DBusKeyring * _dbus_keyring_ref ( DBusKeyring keyring)

Increments reference count of the keyring.

Parameters
keyringthe keyring
Returns
the keyring

Definition at line 651 of file dbus-keyring.c.

References refcount.

◆ _dbus_keyring_unref()

void _dbus_keyring_unref ( DBusKeyring keyring)

Decrements refcount and finalizes if it reaches zero.

Parameters
keyringthe keyring

◆ _dbus_keyring_validate_context()

dbus_bool_t _dbus_keyring_validate_context ( const DBusString context)

Checks whether the context is a valid context.

Contexts that might cause confusion when used in filenames are not allowed (contexts can't start with a dot or contain dir separators).

Parameters
contextthe context
Returns
TRUE if valid
