Methods

`org.freedesktop.Secret.Service.OpenSession`

`OpenSession (`	IN String `algorithm`,
	IN Variant `input`,
	OUT Variant `output`,
	OUT ObjectPath `result)`;

Open a unique session for the caller application.

algorithm #: The algorithm the caller wishes to use.
input #: Input arguments for the algorithm.
output #: Output of the session algorithm negotiation.
result #: The object path of the session, if session was created.

`org.freedesktop.Secret.Service.CreateCollection`

`CreateCollection (`	IN Dict<String,Variant> `properties`,
	IN String `alias`,
	OUT ObjectPath `collection`,
	OUT ObjectPath `prompt)`;

Create a new collection with the specified properties.

properties #

Properties for the new collection. This allows setting the new collection's properties upon its creation. All READWRITE properties are useable. Specify the property names in full interface.Property form.

Example 13.1: Example for properties #


properties = { "org.freedesktop.Secret.Collection.Label": "MyCollection" }

alias #

If creating this connection for a well known alias then a string like default. If an collection with this well-known alias already exists, then that collection will be returned instead of creating a new collection. Any readwrite properties provided to this function will be set on the collection.

Set this to an empty string if the new collection should not be associated with a well known alias.

collection #

The new collection object, or '/' if prompting is necessary.

prompt #

A prompt object if prompting is necessary, or '/' if no prompt was needed.

`org.freedesktop.Secret.Service.SearchItems`

`SearchItems (`	IN Dict<String,String> `attributes`,
	OUT Array<ObjectPath> `unlocked`,
	OUT Array<ObjectPath> `locked)`;

Find items in any collection.

attributes #: Find secrets in any collection.
unlocked #: Items found.
locked #: Items found that require authentication.

`org.freedesktop.Secret.Service.Unlock`

`Unlock (`	IN Array<ObjectPath> `objects`,
	OUT Array<ObjectPath> `unlocked`,
	OUT ObjectPath `prompt)`;

Unlock the specified objects.

objects #: Objects to unlock.
unlocked #: Objects that were unlocked without a prompt.
prompt #: A prompt object which can be used to unlock the remaining objects, or the special value '/' when no prompt is necessary.

`org.freedesktop.Secret.Service.Lock`

`Lock (`	IN Array<ObjectPath> `objects`,
	OUT Array<ObjectPath> `locked`,
	OUT ObjectPath `Prompt)`;

Lock the items.

objects #: Objects to lock.
locked #: Objects that were locked without a prompt.
Prompt #: A prompt to lock the objects, or the special value '/' when no prompt is necessary.

`org.freedesktop.Secret.Service.GetSecrets`

`GetSecrets (`	IN Array<ObjectPath> `items`,
	IN ObjectPath `session`,
	OUT Dict<ObjectPath,Secret> `secrets)`;

Retrieve multiple secrets from different items.

items #: Items to get secrets for.
session #: The session to use to encode the secrets.
secrets #: Secrets for the items.

`org.freedesktop.Secret.Service.ReadAlias`

`ReadAlias (`	IN String `name`,
	OUT ObjectPath `collection)`;

Get the collection with the given alias.

name #: An alias, such as 'default'.
collection #: The collection or the path '/' if no such collection exists.

`org.freedesktop.Secret.Service.SetAlias`

`SetAlias (`	IN String `name`,
	IN ObjectPath `collection)`;

Setup a collection alias.

name #: An alias, such as 'default'.
collection #: The collection to make the alias point to. To remove an alias use the special value '/'.

Signals

`org.freedesktop.Secret.Service.CollectionCreated`

CollectionCreated ( IN ObjectPath collection);

A collection was created.

collection #: Collection that was created

`org.freedesktop.Secret.Service.CollectionDeleted`

CollectionDeleted ( IN ObjectPath collection);

A collection was deleted.

collection #: Collection that was deleted.

`org.freedesktop.Secret.Service.CollectionChanged`

CollectionChanged ( IN ObjectPath collection);

A collection was changed.

collection #: Collection that was changed.
