NAME

Passwd::Keyring::KDEWallet - Password storage implementation based on KDE Wallet.

VERSION

Version 1.0001

SYNOPSIS

KDE Wallet based implementation of Passwd::Keyring.

    use Passwd::Keyring::KDEWallet;
    my $keyring = Passwd::Keyring::KDEWallet->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).

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

    Passwd::Keyring::KDEWallet->new(
        app=>'app name', group=>'passwords folder');
    Passwd::Keyring::KDEWallet->new(
        app=>'app name', group=>'passwords folder',
        start_kwalletd_if_missing=>1);

Initializes the processing. Croaks if kwallet (or d-bus, or anything needed) does not seem to be available.

Handled named parameters:

symbolic application name (used in "Application .... is asking to open the wallet" KDE Wallet prompt)
name for the password group (used as KDE Wallet folder name)
by default, in case kwalletd service is missing, we try to start it, this option disables this behaviour
path to kwalletd binary, used in case we try starting it. Default: "kwalletd" (relative path means searching in "PATH").

set_password(username, password, realm)

Sets (stores) password identified by given realm for given user

get_password($user_name, $realm)

Reads previously stored password for given user in given app. If such password can not be found, returns undef.

clear_password($user_name, $realm)

Removes given password (if present)

is_persistent

Returns info, whether this keyring actually saves passwords persistently.

(true in this case)
