#10926 new enhancement

Support MATE keyring with native password manager

Reported by: stanton Owned by: bastiK
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: Plugin native_password_manager Version:
Keywords: template_report Cc: stanton

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Install Ubuntu MATE 14.10.
  2. Download and install JOSM an Native Password Manager plugin.
  3. Start JOSM

What is the expected result?

I would expect the plugin to work with MATE's password manager.

What happens instead?

Upon start, I get the following message:

No native password manager could be found! Depending on your Operating System / Distribution, you may have to create a default keyring / wallet first.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

I suspect this is because MATE support would need to be added. Since MATE is a fork of GNOME 2 and GNOME Keyring is supported, the code should be mostly there and can be reused – there is probably little difference between MATE and GNOME apart from identifiers.

Patches welcome. :)

I'll happily supply one, once I find out where the fault lies :-)

Turns out Ubuntu MATE 14.10 (which I use) uses gnome-keyring, so in theory it should work already. Looking at the source code, I found that the code looks for a library which *should* be in libgnome-keyring-dev, but installing that library doesn't fix the issue.

The "Passwords and Keys" app shows me some passwords (including an SMB password), thus it seems I have a default keyring.

Do I need to install extra packages or make some extra settings to make this work? I'd happily document it on the wiki if I knew how to get it to work...

Just looked into JOSM settings, there is one setting named plugins.native-password-manager.agent, which is unset. Where and how does the plugin detect which password manager to use? Does that code by any chance query the desktop environment?

Replying to stanton:

In the java function GnomeProvider.enabled(), which calls a native function gnome_keyring_is_available() from libgnome-keyring. It will be interesting to know at what line exactly it fails.

Does that code by any chance query the desktop environment?

Nope.

I found the code and see it has a few calls to Log.fine(). How do I get OpenJRE to display log messages of this level on the console? (Searched on the net and came up dry – on Android I'd know where to look, on the desktop I need some help...)
