A PolicyKit Authentication Agent is a construct used to authenticate one or more identities. See the PolicyKit documentation for more details on authentication agents and how PolicyKit works: http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/polkit/ Since gjs does not support subclassing a GObject class from Javascript code, we bring in a native class to bridge the VFuncs to GObject signals. Additionally, this native class also queues up authentication requests so the user of the native class only has to deal with a single outstanding request at any one time. The file js/ui/polkitAuthenticationAgent.js introduces a singleton that listens for authentication requests via the native class. This singleton uses the PolkitAgent machinery to do the actual heavy-weight lifting required for authentication (essentially a PAM conversation). We currently don't allow the user to pick the identity to be authenticated. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642886 Signed-off-by: David Zeuthen <davidz@redhat.com> |
