Keyring Support
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
*vdirsyncer* will try the following storages if no password (but a username) is
|
|
set in your config. If that fails too, it will prompt for the password and
|
|
store the password in the system keyring (if possible and wished).
|
|
|
|
netrc
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
*vdirsyncer* can use ``~/.netrc`` for retrieving a password. An example
|
|
``.netrc`` looks like this::
|
|
|
|
machine owncloud.example.com
|
|
login foouser
|
|
password foopass
|
|
|
|
System Keyring
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
*vdirsyncer* can also use your system's password storage for saving password in
|
|
a (more) secure way.
|
|
|
|
To use it, you must install keyring_.
|
|
|
|
.. _keyring: https://bitbucket.org/kang/python-keyring-lib
|
|
|
|
*vdirsyncer* will use the full resource URL as the key when saving.
|
|
|
|
When retrieving the key, it will try to remove segments of the URL's path until
|
|
it finds a password. For example, if you save a password under the key
|
|
``vdirsyncer:http://example.com``, it will be used as a fallback for all
|
|
resources on ``example.com``. If you additionally save a password under the key
|
|
``vdirsyncer:http://example.com/special/``, that password will be used for all
|
|
resources on ``example.com`` whose path starts with ``/special/``.
|
|
|
|
*keyring* support these keyrings:
|
|
|
|
- **OSXKeychain:** The Keychain service in Mac OS X.
|
|
- **KDEKWallet:** The KDE's Kwallet service.
|
|
- **GnomeKeyring** For Gnome 2 environment.
|
|
- **SecretServiceKeyring:** For newer GNOME and KDE environments.
|
|
- **WinVaultKeyring:** The Windows Credential Vault
|
|
- **Win32CryptoKeyring:** for Windows 2k+.
|
|
- **CryptedFileKeyring:** A command line interface keyring base on PyCrypto.
|
|
- **UncryptedFileKeyring:** A keyring which leaves passwords directly in file.
|
|
|
|
Changing the Password
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
If your password on the server changed or you misspelled it you need to use
|
|
your system's password manager (e.g. seahorse for most Linux distrubutions) to
|
|
either delete or directly change it, *vdirsyncer* currently has no means to do
|
|
it for you.
