misc: add code to use settings-daemon smartcard service
gnome-settings-daemon monitors smartcard insertion and removal
events on the system and then exports a model of the current
smartcard topology over the bus using the D-Bus ObjectManager interface.
This commit adds the support code needed in gnome-shell to talk to
the gnome-settings-daemon service.
A future commit will use this code to inform the login screen
when a user inserts a smartcard (so it can react appropriately)
The D-Bus ObjectManager interface is fairly recent addition to the
D-Bus specification. Its purpose is to provide a standardized way
to track objects dynamically coming and going for a service, and
to track capabilities dynamically coming and going for those objects
(by means of interfaces).
This commit adds the requisite code needed to make use of the
ObjectManager interface.
It will ultimately be needed to implement smartcard support in the
login screen.
Some pam modules prompt without expecting the user to type
an answer back (e.g. "Please swipe finger"). We need to
emit prompted in this case too, so the the dialog will get shown.
gdmUtil: pave way for fingeprint to optionally be default auth service
Currently, fingerprint authentication is always a secondary thing.
If a user wants to swipe their finger when the computer is asking
for a password, so be it.
This commit paves the way for making fingerprint auth optionally
be the main way to authenticate. Currently there's no way to enable
this, but in a future commit will honor
Right now, the primary way a user logs in is with
a password. They can also swipe their finger, if their
fingerprint is enrolled, but it's expected the fingerprint
auth service won't ask questions the user has to respond to
by typing. As such, we ignore questions that comes from
anything but the main auth service: gdm-password.
In the future, if a user inserts a smartcard, we'll want
to treat the gdm-smartcard service as the main auth service,
and let any questions from it get to the user.
This commit tries to prepare for that eventuality by storing
the name of the default auth service away in a _defaultService variable
before verification has begun, and then later checking incoming
queries against that service instead of checking against
string 'gdm-password' directly.
Of course, right now, _defaultService is always gdm-password.
This commit introduces a new BeginRequestType enum which gets
passed to the 'reset' signal to specify whether
a username should be provided to the begin() method and changes
the loginDialog to comply.
Currently, the signal only ever gets emitted with
AuthPrompt.BeginRequestType.PROVIDE_USERNAME
but that will change in the future when providing smartcard
support.
unlockDialog: only emit 'failed' on reset after failure/cancel
We currently emit "failed" any time the UserVerifier is reset,
and user verification didn't succeed prior.
A more conceptually clear time to emit "failed" would be if
the UserVerifier is reset and user verification failed prior,
and to emit "failed" if the user cancels unlock.
This commit restructures things to do that. Aside from being
more conceptually clear, it also lays the groundwork for us
to be able to reset the unlock screen without failing.
