Description

Functions

nm_vpn_service_plugin_get_connection ()

GDBusConnection *
nm_vpn_service_plugin_get_connection (NMVpnServicePlugin *plugin);

Returns

[transfer full]

nm_vpn_service_plugin_secrets_required ()

void
nm_vpn_service_plugin_secrets_required
                               (NMVpnServicePlugin *plugin,
                                const char *message,
                                const char **hints);

Called by VPN plugin implementations to signal to NetworkManager that secrets are required during the connection process. This signal may be used to request new secrets when the secrets originally provided by NetworkManager are insufficient, or the VPN process indicates that it needs additional information to complete the request.

Parameters

plugin	the NMVpnServicePlugin
message	an information message about why secrets are required, if any
hints	VPN specific secret names for required new secrets

nm_vpn_service_plugin_set_login_banner ()

void
nm_vpn_service_plugin_set_login_banner
                               (NMVpnServicePlugin *plugin,
                                const char *banner);

nm_vpn_service_plugin_failure ()

void
nm_vpn_service_plugin_failure (NMVpnServicePlugin *plugin,
                               NMVpnPluginFailure reason);

nm_vpn_service_plugin_set_config ()

void
nm_vpn_service_plugin_set_config (NMVpnServicePlugin *plugin,
                                  GVariant *config);

nm_vpn_service_plugin_set_ip4_config ()

void
nm_vpn_service_plugin_set_ip4_config (NMVpnServicePlugin *plugin,
                                      GVariant *ip4_config);

nm_vpn_service_plugin_set_ip6_config ()

void
nm_vpn_service_plugin_set_ip6_config (NMVpnServicePlugin *plugin,
                                      GVariant *ip6_config);

nm_vpn_service_plugin_disconnect ()

gboolean
nm_vpn_service_plugin_disconnect (NMVpnServicePlugin *plugin,
                                  GError **err);

nm_vpn_service_plugin_shutdown ()

void
nm_vpn_service_plugin_shutdown (NMVpnServicePlugin *plugin);

Shutdown the plugin and disconnect from D-Bus. After this, the plugin instance is dead and should no longer be used. It ensures to get no more requests from D-Bus. In principle, you don't need to shutdown the plugin, disposing the instance has the same effect. However, this gives a way to deactivate the plugin before giving up the last reference.

Parameters

plugin

the NMVpnServicePlugin instance

Since: 1.12

nm_vpn_service_plugin_read_vpn_details ()

gboolean
nm_vpn_service_plugin_read_vpn_details
                               (int fd,
                                GHashTable **out_data,
                                GHashTable **out_secrets);

Parses key/value pairs from a file descriptor (normally stdin) passed by an applet when the applet calls the authentication dialog of the VPN plugin.

Parameters

fd	file descriptor to read from, usually stdin (0)
out_data	on successful return, a hash table (mapping char:char) containing the key/value pairs of VPN data items.	[out][transfer full]
out_secrets	on successful return, a hash table (mapping char:char) containing the key/value pairsof VPN secrets.	[out][transfer full]

Returns

TRUE if reading values was successful, FALSE if not

Since: 1.2

nm_vpn_service_plugin_get_secret_flags ()

gboolean
nm_vpn_service_plugin_get_secret_flags
                               (GHashTable *data,
                                const char *secret_name,
                                NMSettingSecretFlags *out_flags);

Given a VPN secret key name, attempts to find the corresponding flags data item in data . If found, converts the flags data item to NMSettingSecretFlags and returns it.

Parameters

data	hash table containing VPN key/value pair data items
secret_name	VPN secret key name for which to retrieve flags for
out_flags	on success, the flags associated with `secret_name` .	[out]

Returns

TRUE if the flag data item was found and successfully converted to flags, FALSE if not

Since: 1.2
