Storing passwords
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 0.7.0
|
|
|
|
Password configuration got completely overhauled.
|
|
|
|
Vdirsyncer can fetch passwords from several sources other than the config file.
|
|
|
|
Command
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Say you have the following configuration::
|
|
|
|
[storage foo]
|
|
type = caldav
|
|
url = ...
|
|
username = foo
|
|
password = bar
|
|
|
|
But it bugs you that the password is stored in cleartext in the config file.
|
|
You can do this::
|
|
|
|
[storage foo]
|
|
type = caldav
|
|
url = ...
|
|
username = foo
|
|
password.fetch = ["command", "~/get-password.sh", "more", "args"]
|
|
|
|
You can fetch the username as well::
|
|
|
|
[storage foo]
|
|
type = caldav
|
|
url = ...
|
|
username.fetch = ["command", "~/get-username.sh"]
|
|
password.fetch = ["command", "~/get-password.sh"]
|
|
|
|
Or really any kind of parameter in a storage section.
|
|
|
|
System Keyring
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
While the command approach is quite flexible, it is often cumbersome to write a
|
|
script fetching the system keyring.
|
|
|
|
Vdirsyncer can do this for you if you have the keyring_ package installed. How
|
|
you would obtain this package depends on how you installed vdirsyncer. If you
|
|
used pip, you can use the following command to also install keyring::
|
|
|
|
pip install vdirsyncer[keyring]
|
|
|
|
Then you can use::
|
|
|
|
[storage foo]
|
|
type = caldav
|
|
username = myusername
|
|
password.fetch = ["keyring", "myservicename", "myusername"]
|
|
|
|
.. _keyring: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring
|
|
|
|
|
|
Password Prompt
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
You can also simply prompt for the password::
|
|
|
|
[storage foo]
|
|
type = caldav
|
|
username = myusername
|
|
password.fetch = ["prompt", "Password for CalDAV"]
|
