Passwd::Keyring::Gnome - Password storage implementation based on GNOME Keyring.
Version 1.0000
Gnome Keyring based implementation of Keyring. Provide secure storage for passwords and similar sensitive data.
use Passwd::Keyring::Gnome; my $keyring = Passwd::Keyring::Gnome->new( app=>"blahblah scraper", group=>"Johnny web scrapers", ); my $username = "John"; # or get from .ini, or from .argv... my $password = $keyring->get_password($username, "blahblah.com"); unless( $password ) { $password = <somehow interactively prompt for password>; # securely save password for future use $keyring->set_password($username, $password, "blahblah.com"); } login_somewhere_using($username, $password); if( password_was_wrong ) { $keyring->clear_password($username, "blahblah.com"); }
Note: see Passwd::Keyring::Auto::KeyringAPI for detailed comments on keyring method semantics (this document is installed with Passwd::Keyring::Auto package).
Passwd::Keyring::Auto
Initializes the processing. Croaks if gnome keyring does not seem to be available.
Handled named parameters:
- app - symbolic application name (not used at the moment, but can be used in future as comment and in prompts, so set sensibly)
- group - name for the password group (will be visible in seahorse so can be used by end user to manage passwords, different group means different password set, a few apps may share the same group if they need to use the same passwords set)
Sets (stores) password identified by given realm for given user
Reads previously stored password for given user in given app. If such password can not be found, returns undef.
Removes given password (if present)
Returns how many passwords actually were removed
Returns info, whether this keyring actually saves passwords persistently.
(true in this case)
