User read time per character has been changed from 16ms to 48ms because the
message of information about last login is displayed for half a sec that is not
a good user experience. So time to read a character is increased to 48ms from 16ms.

Currently the menu position below the button means that the menu
can extend to roughly half the screen height before ending up partly
off-screen. This is plenty of space for commonly installed sessions,
but some users have a significantly higher number of sessions in the
list. Move the menu to the side of the button in that case to maximize
the vertical space the menu may take up.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734352
There's some vestigial code for hiding the user list
that runs at the same time its parent is hidden.
Only the parent should be hidden, at this point, so
there's situations where the user list hides and
never comes back.
This commit fixes that, by deleting the vestigial code.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719418
We currently use the setActiveSession method to both mark a menu item as
selected, and also tell gdm about the current session the user selected.
Since gdm is ultimately in charge of the state, we should decouple this
and simply ask gdm to set the session, and have the menu item reflect
what gdm thinks is the current session.
This prevents state getting mismatched and oscillations from happening,
where we get in a loop of constantly telling gdm what the session is.

If a smartcard is missing from the reader when we start up,
and the system is configured to disable password authentication,
then we need to ask the user to insert their smartcard.
This commit fixes that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740143
The problem is caused by '_askForUsernameAndBeginVerification' being
called multiply times. So when we click 'next', the old connected
function will also be executed.
After the login banner is shown and hidden, the first user
in the user list becomes non-reactive. This is because the
banner is given an opacity of 0, but still allocated.
This commit fixes that by hiding the banner explicitly.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743370
Normally when a user uses the login screen to log in, the
login screen gets killed and the user session takes over
the display.
This doesn't happen for wayland sessions, though. Instead,
the login screen gets reset, and the wayland session is started
on another VT.
The greeter proxy object needs to be recreated after this reset,
since it's associated with state no longer coupled to the login
screen after the reset.
This commit moves greeter proxy creation to happen at reset time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743371
Frequently banner messages are longer than can reasonable
fit in a one column view, which leads to a smooshed layout.
This commit changes the layout to a two column view, with the
banner on the left and the prompt on the right, if the banner
message is long enough that it can't fit well above the prompt.
If there isn't enough space for two columns then we keep the
one column layout but add scrollbars.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703972
The login screen supports showing a banner message which admins
can use to mention login rules or disclaimers.
This message only shows up currently if the user list is enabled.
Most people who want to show a banner message also want to disable
the user list.
This commit moves the banner message to display when the user is
prompted for login credentials instead of when showing the user
list. It also adds a scrollbar if the message is too long.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703972
The login screen is pretty custom full screen container and the standard
layout managers aren't really a good fit for the kind of layout that's
happening. This will be even more problematic with upcoming changes
to login banners, so we need to switch techniques.
This commit moves login dialog over to using a custom allocate handler
that has specific domain knowledge of the parts of the login screen
and where they go.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703972
If the user list is disabled and the user clicks cancel quickly enough
after typing their username, they can get in a state where the
auth prompt gets stuck in the insensitive state.
This is because the login dialog code makes the prompt insensitive
while while pam is processing the provided username, but the prompt
only makes itself sensitive again when it is hidden.
This commit makes it sensitive right before asking for a username again.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740141
Once verification has succeeded, the train's already
left the building and we shouldn't allow canceling.
This commit renders the cancel button non-reactive
and makes the cancel function be a noop after
verification succeeds.

Incorrect braces meant that if the ShellUserVerifier was destroyed before
the call to fprintManager.GetDefaultDeviceRemote(), the reply would result in

When a user logs in to a wayland session, we keep the login screen
running on the X server with the login screen running in a deactivated mode.
This commit makes sure it get reactivated when the user comes back to
the VT (from user switching, logout or just ctrl-alt-f1).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726989
The smartcard service is put in the foreground in two cases:
1) If password service is disabled by admin configuratoin
2) if a smartcard is inserted
In either case we don't want to ask the user to pick a user from the
userlist. We currently only avoid asking in case 2.
This commit fixes case 1.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726263
We only want to react to the card the user logged in with, at
the unlock screen. We check "at the unlock screen" by checking
the "reauthenticating" state variable. That variable is the
wrong one, though. It gets set too late, and in some cases, gets
set at the login screen, too. We should be checking this._reauthOnly
instead.
This commit fixes that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726262
Loading the user list can be expensive, for instance when there is
a large number of users and/or their avatars have to be fetched over
the network. In case the user list is disabled anyway, there is no
point in doing that work just to hide it, so stop doing that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725905
Right now we queue populating the user list in the middle of setting
up the dialog actors. Of course, the actual population happens some time
later after going back to the main loop.
It's more logical to structure the code so the the actors are
instantiated first in one block and then other things after that.
This commit moves the user list population enqueuing operation to the
bottom of the constuctor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721868
In some cases we load the user list after going back
to main loop and in other cases we load the user list
right away (depending on if accounts service is ready).
In the case we load the user list right away we cause a
traceback because loading the user list forces a reset,
which then tries to reset actors which aren't instantiated
yet.
This commit ensures the user list is loaded after the constructor
finishes and the event loop runs irregardless of the accountsservice
state.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721868
When set to fill, the label will always end up left-aligned, which
is only correct in LTR locales. Set the alignment explicitly to
work in both RTL and LTR locales.

After a user types in their password at the login screen, one
of two things can happen
1) a new session is started
2) an existing session is switched to
In the latter case, GDM sends a reset signal to the login screen,
so it knows to go back to the user list and wait to be summoned
again.
Unfortunately, all reset signals are ignored after verification
success. The reason is because the reset handler was copied from
the unlock dialog as part of a deduplication effort in commit
7e7295f259 and the unlock dialog
handler at the time also emitted a "failed" signal on reset
(which wouldn't make sense to emit after success).
These days "failed" is handled in a different way.
This commit changes the code to let reset signals through after
successful verification.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710456
oVirt is software for managing medium-to-large scale deployments of
virtual machine guests across multiple hosts. It supports a feature
where users can authenticate with a central server and get
transparently connected to a guest system and then automatically get logged
into that guest to an associated user session.
Guests using old versions of GDM support this single-sign-on capability
by means of a greeter plugin, using the old greeter's extension
API.
This commit adds similar support to the gnome-shell based login screen.
How it works:
* The OVirtCredentialsManager singleton listens for
'org.ovirt.vdsm.Credentials.UserAuthenticated'
D-Bus signal on the system bus from the
'org.ovirt.vdsm.Credentials'
bus name. The service that provides that bus name is called
the oVirt guest agent. It is also responsible for interacting
with the the central server to get user credentials.
* This UserAuthenticated signal passes, as a parameter, the a token
which needs to be passed through to the PAM service that is specifically
set up to integrate with the oVirt authentication architecture.
The singleton object keeps the token internally so it can be queried
later on.
* The OVirtCredentialsManager emits a signal 'user-authenticated' on
it's object once the dbus signal is triggered
* When the 'user-authenticated' signal is emitted, the login screen
tells GDM to start user verification using the PAM service. The
authentication stack of the service includes a PAM module
provided by oVirt that securely retrieves user credentials
from the oVirt guest agent. The PAM module then forwards those
credentials on to other modules in the stack so, e.g.,
the user's gnome keyring can be automatically unlocked.
* In case of the screen shield being visible, it also will react on that
'user-authenticated' signal and lift the shield.
In that case the login screen will check on construction time if
the signal has already been triggered, and a token is available.
If a token is available it will immediately trigger the functionality
as described above.

A conversation is finished after failing, and we are expecting a new
one to be started shortly after. However if we encounter an existing
reference to a previously set _queryingService, we will clear the
password entry, which might already contain a partially typed password
at that point. The behavior does make sense in the case of conflicting
conversations, but in the failure case it is both unexpected and
annoying, so clear _queryingService early to prevent this.

Right now we only show the session menu button when verifying,
but we should also show it when verification is failed or we
can end up in situation where the session menu disappears during
an authentication retry.

This commit consolidates the styles of the various
message types into one 'login-dialog-message' style
and then adds additional styles on top to cover the
differences.
This allows us to give the message label an initial
style so that is padded properly before any messages
are displayed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706670
Right now, we rely on PAM to ask for the username if disable-user-list
is TRUE. This is suboptimal because it means we can't check if we
should show a session menu.
This commit changes disable-user-list==TRUE to ask for a username up
front, rather than have PAM do it.

This commit detects when a user inserts a smartcard,
and then initiates user verification using the gdm-smartcard
PAM service.
Likewise, if a user removes their smartcard, password verification
(or the user list depending on auth mode and configuration) are initiated
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683437
The duplication makes the function look a lot more complicated
than it actually is.
This commit moves the common code to a new _startService function.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683437
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683437
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
enable-password-authentication=false
in gsettings.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683437
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683437
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683437
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683437
authPrompt.reset() currently only leaves the authPrompt in a
sane state if the user isn't verifying.
This commit makes sure to cancel verification if a reset happens
while verification is in process.

Swap out the implementation of SystemIndicator with a dummy,
and build the aggregate menu. At the same time, remove the
poweroff and login screen menus, as those were fake aggregate
menus beforehand.
We lose some flexibility as we lose session-mode-based menu
layout, but as each component of the aggregate menu is supposed
to be "smart" in response to updating itself when session
state changes, I believe it's better than a declarative model.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705845
We can't silently replace the old behavior of separate status
icons into a new system. Replace SystemStatusButton with a new
SystemIndicator class which will allow for the flexibility we
need. For now, make it a subclass of Button so that it mostly
feels the same, but we'll soon be swapping it out with a dummy
implementation that the aggregate menu will use.
I think the code cleanup here is worth it.

onAskQuestion has this code:
if (this.verifyingUser)
this.cancelButton.show();
else
this.cancelButton.hide();
but onAskQuestion can only be called when this.verifyingUser is true.
Also, cancelButton is public, and it only ever otherwise gets hidden
from callers.
This commit drops mucking with cancelButton visibility, leaving it
entirely up to the callers to deal with.

If the first question asked to a user is from the
shell and not from the PAM service (i.e. Username: ),
then we'll save what the user types until PAM asks
a question and then try to send it to PAM.
This commit makes sure the preemptive answer can be used
before the PAM conversation gets started, and makes sure
to discard the preemptive answer if we're not expecting it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705370
Right now we have two booleans that specify when user verification
is happening and when it succeeded, respectively.
This commit consolidates them into one AuthPromptStatus enumeration.
This clean up will allow us to check for verification failure more
easily.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683437
The only time we ever call _reset directly is when
detecting changes to disable-user-list. We can implicitly
trigger a reset for this case, just as easily by calling
this._authPrompt.reset()
This commit makes that change for consistency and to make
it easier to adjust the authprompt workflow later.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683437
Right now the whole authPrompt spreads out if a PAM message
comes in that longer than the entry.
This commit changes it to wrap instead, by forcing the
auth prompt to be a fixed width (slightly bigger than
the entry width was sized to previously).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705037
When a ShellUserVerifier is asked to verify a user at the login
screen it will transparently first try to reauthenticate the user
against an existing session and then fall back to logging a user
into a new session. The former is used for user switching.
It's useful to know which type of verification is happening, so
the next button can be made to say "Unlock" instead of "Sign In" when
a user is already signed in.
This commit exports a new "reauthenticating" property on the
ShellUserVerifier that the auth prompt checks when deciding which
label to use for its next button.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704795
If there are no messages in the queue and a user starts to
type then we can safely hide the message label since the
user has probably already read it.
This fixes a weirdness where "Incorrect Password" messages stay
around, even as the user types in the new correct password.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704817
There's quite a bit of duplicated code between the login dialog
and the unlock dialog dealing with the various signals from the
ShellUserVerifier.
This commit moves that duplicated code into the AuthPrompt.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704707
Right now there is a lot of duplicated code between the unlock
dialog and the login dialog.
This commit moves the login dialog's auth prompt to a separate
class, so that it can (in a subsequent commit) be used by the
unlock dialog.

A bug got introduced when moving the login dialog away from modal
dialog, such that it listens for escape key presses in a mouse
event handler instead of a keyboard event handler.
This commit fixes that code to correctly listen for key-press-event
instead of button-press-event.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702308
Right now if disable-user-list is true we show it briefly, just so
that we can fade it out to the user entry.
This commit avoids the fade in that case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704471
this._clearMessageQueue() is a noop when this.hasPendingMessages is
false so calling it in that case doesn't make sense.
This commit drops that call.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704347
Now that we preallocate space for the prompt message there is
a lot of loose space between the entry and the buttons.
This commit helps tighten things up by getting rid
of the large top padding set above the login buttons.

commit ea02380c15 changed the login
dialog to not use ModalDialog anymore. There's still one lingering
setInitialKeyFocus method call in the source, which will cause an

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703874
There are some issues with the existing session menu. First, it looks
kinda bad. It seems like it's hanging around there, but it doesn't really know
what to do with itself.
Second, when it expands down it requires that the buttons below move
down with it. This kind of movement is awkward and looks a bit weird.
Third, its current position makes the "dialog" tall and unwieldy when
you add things like messages for fingerprint readers or authentication errors.
This commit moves the session list to a menu behind a button to address
the above problems.
Based on a patch by Jasper St. Pierre.
