GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FILL_AUTHENTICATION

#define GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FILL_AUTHENTICATION "fill-authentication"

A module callback name used together with gnome_vfs_module_callback_invoke() to ask the keyring manager for login data. It is expected to return stored or cached login data, but may not query the user.

The login data consists of a username, a password and a domain, and is used to access a resource. If the data is not suitable for accessing the resource, the GnomeVFSModule typically issues a GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION module callback to query the user right after the authentication failed.

in arg : A GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFillAuthenticationIn * passed to the application, specifying the authentication request. The application will usually proxy this request to the keyring manager of the desktop environment, but it can also handle the request itself.
out arg : A GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFillAuthenticationOut * passing the cached keyring data (i.e. username/password etc.) back to the module. Usually, this is data that was stored using GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_SAVE_AUTHENTICATION, and is either stored permanently on disk or cached.

GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFillAuthenticationIn

typedef struct {
	char *uri;
	char *protocol;
	char *server;
	char *object;
	int port;
	char *authtype;
	char *username;
	char *domain;
} GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFillAuthenticationIn;

A pointer to a GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFillAuthenticationIn structure is passed to the GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FILL_AUTHENTICATION callback, and informs the application about the authentication parameters that should be requested from the user.

The GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FILL_AUTHENTICATION application callback will then set the members of a pointer to a GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFillAuthenticationOut structure according to the stored or cached data.

char *uri; The textual URI of the resource that requires authentication.
char *protocol; One of the protocols supported by the invoking module. Typically matches uri's protocol.
char *server; The server that contains the resource that requires authentication. Typically matches uri's hostname.
char *object; The type of the resource that requires authentication.
int port; The port that was used to connect to server. 0 means unset.
char *authtype; The type of authentication that was requested. For the HTTP method, this may be "basic" or "proxy". For the SFTP method, this may be "publickey" or "password".
char *username; The username that was used to connect to server.
char *domain; The domain that server belongs to (only used by the SMB method).

GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFillAuthenticationOut

typedef struct {
	gboolean valid;
	char *username;
	char *domain;
	char *password;
} GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFillAuthenticationOut;

A pointer to a GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFillAuthenticationOut structure is passed to the GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FILL_AUTHENTICATION callback, and informs the module about the authentication parameters that were found in the cache or permanently stored.

The login data returned by GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FILL_AUTHENTICATION was usually previously stored using #GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_SAVE_AUTHENTICATION.

gboolean valid; Whether stored or cached login data was found for the resource referenced by the GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFillAuthenticationIn structure.
char *username; The cached username that should be used to access the resource. This will be freed by the module when it isn't needed any longer. May only be set if valid is TRUE.
char *domain; The cached domain that should be used to access the resource. This will be freed by the module when it isn't needed any longer. May only be set if valid is TRUE.
char *password; The cached password that should be used to access the resource. This will be freed by the module when it isn't needed any longer. May only be set if valid is TRUE.

GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION

#define GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION "full-authentication"

A module callback name used together with gnome_vfs_module_callback_invoke() to ask the user for login data. This includes username and password, but also special login choices like anonymous login.

in arg : A GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationIn * passed to the application, specifying the authentication request.
out arg : A GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOut * passing the user's provided authentication data (i.e. his username/password etc.) back to the module.

enum GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationFlags

typedef enum {
	GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_PREVIOUS_ATTEMPT_FAILED = 1<<0,
	GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_NEED_PASSWORD = 1<<1,
	GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_NEED_USERNAME = 1<<2,
	GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_NEED_DOMAIN = 1<<3,
	GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_SAVING_SUPPORTED = 1<<4,
	GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_ANON_SUPPORTED = 1<<5
} GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationFlags;

These flags will be passed to the GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION callback, as part of the GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationIn structure. The output data will be stored in a GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOut structure.

GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_PREVIOUS_ATTEMPT_FAILED This is not the first login attempt, i.e. this callback was already invoked but the provided login data was not suitable for a successful login.
GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_NEED_PASSWORD The application should ask the user for a password and set the password field of GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOut.
GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_NEED_USERNAME The application should ask the user for a username and set the username field of GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOut.
GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_NEED_DOMAIN The application should ask the user for a domain and set the domain field of GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOut.
GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_SAVING_SUPPORTED The application may ask the user whether he wants to save the password. If this flag is not present, or the user does not want to save the password, the application must set the save_password field of GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOut to FALSE and its keyring field to NULL. If the save_password field is TRUE, the module invoking the GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION callback is expected to invoke the GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_SAVE_AUTHENTICATION callback if the login attempt was successful with the username, password, domain and keyring fields of GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOut.
GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_ANON_SUPPORTED The application should offer the user a choice to login anonymously (used for example by the FTP module). If the user requests anonymous login, GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_OUT_ANON_SELECTED must be set in the out_flags field of GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOut.

GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationIn

typedef struct {
	GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationFlags flags;

	char *uri;
	char *protocol;

	char *username;
	char *domain;

	/* for pre-filling the dialog */
	char *default_user;     
	char *default_domain;
} GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationIn;

A pointer to a GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationIn structure is passed to the GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION callback, and informs the application about the authentication parameters that should be requested from the user.

The GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION application callback will then set the members of a pointer to a GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOut structure according to the user input.

GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationFlags flags; GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationFlags influencing the user query.
char *uri; The textual URI of the resource that requires authentication.
char *protocol; One of the protocols supported by the invoking module. Typically matches uri's protocol.
char *server; The server that contains the resource that requires authentication. Typically matches uri's hostname.
char *object; The type of the resource that requires authentication.
int port; The port that was used to connect to server. 0 means unset.
char *authtype; The type of authentication that was requested. For the HTTP method, this may be "basic" or "proxy". For the SFTP method, this may be "publickey" or "password".
char *username; The username that was used to connect to server.
char *domain; The domain that server belongs to (only used by the SMB method).
char *default_user; The username that should be provided to the user by default. Typically matches username.
char *default_domain; The domain that should be provided to the user by default. Typically matches domain.

GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOut

typedef struct {
	gboolean abort_auth;

	char *username;
	char *domain;
	char *password;

	gboolean save_password;
	char *keyring;

	gsize out_flags;
} GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOut;

A pointer to a GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOut structure is passed to the GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION callback, and informs the module about the authentication parameters that the user provided by setting the respective fields according to the user input and the passed-in GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationIn pointer.

gboolean abort_auth; Whether the user somehow cancelled the login process. The application is expected to offer the user a cancellation point during the authentication query. In a graphical user interface, this is typically achieved by providing a "Cancel" button.
char *username; The user-provided username that should be used to access the resource referenced by GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationIn. This will be freed by the module when it isn't needed any longer. Must not be set if the GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationFlags don't contain GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_NEED_USERNAME.
char *domain; The user-provided domain that should be used to access the resource referenced by GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationIn. This will be freed by the module when it isn't needed any longer. Must not be set if the GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationFlags don't contain GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_NEED_DOMAIN.
char *password; The user-provided password that should be used to access the resource referenced by GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationIn. This will be freed by the module when it isn't needed any longer. Must not be set if the GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationFlags don't contain GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_NEED_PASSOWRD.
gboolean save_password; Flags whether the user requested to save the provided login data. Must be FALSE if the GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationFlags don't contain GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_SAVING_SUPPORTED.
char *keyring; Flags which keyring should be used to save the password. This will later be passed to the GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_SAVE_AUTHENTICATION callback if the login attempt was successful with the specified username, password and domain. This will NOT be freed by the module, so the application typically provides a NULL pointer or a pointer to a static string.
gsize out_flags; GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOutFlags signalling a special request, for instance anonymous access to an FTP server.

enum GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOutFlags

typedef enum {
	GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_OUT_ANON_SELECTED = 1<<0
} GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOutFlags;

These flags will be passed from a GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION callback back to the module, as part of the GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationOut structure.

GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_OUT_ANON_SELECTED Anonymous login requested. May only be set if the GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationIn's GnomeVFSModuleCallbackFullAuthenticationFlags contain GNOME_VFS_MODULE_CALLBACK_FULL_AUTHENTICATION_ANON_SUPPORTED.
