When verification failed using a specific authentication service we're
currently restarting the whole user authentication system, which leads
to lots of unneeded operations (reinitializing a new user verifier proxy,
restarting all the gdm workers with the relative PAM modules and so on).
And this makes also debugging of login problems more complicated, given
we're cluttering the journal with repeated data.
However, at reauthentication failure GDM has already set up for us an
user verifier that we can use reuse to start only the service that had a
failure. So when possible, just start a new service instead of rebooting
the whole authorization process.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1622>
When retrying the authentication we should make sure that all the
previously initiated services are stopped in order to begin a new
authentication session with all the configured services.
Unfortunately at the current state we only dispose the currently used
user verifier, but we don't make it to stop all the relative gdm workers
and then they'll stay around potentially blocking any further usage of
them (as it happens with the fingerprint one, that has unique access to
the device).
So, cancel the currently running authentication before starting a new
one if we're explicitly retrying.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1622>
In case a background service such as the fingerprint authentication
fails to start we'd just mark the whole authentication process as
failed.
Currently this may happen by just putting a wrong password when an user
has some fingerprints enrolled, the fingerprint gdm authentication
worker may take some time to restart leading to a failure and this is
currently also making the password authentication to fail:

Given that background services are ignored even for queries or any kind
of message, we should not fail the authentication request unless the
default service fails.

When a verification session has failed we may want to wait for the user
to have completed all the waiting queries and to have read all the
incoming messages, however during such time an user verifier should
not be allowed to queue further messages to the UI, as we're about to
completely stop the identification or start a new one.
Unfortunately this is not true because we're still connected to the
identifier signals, and so we may still show messages.
This is particularly true when using the fingerprint PAM module as it
may restart the authentication while we're in the process of stopping
it.
So, keep track of all the signals we've connected to, and disconnect on
verification failed and during cancel/clear operations.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1622>
Answering a query may be delayed to the moment in which we've not any
more messages in the queue, however this case can also happen just after
we've cleared the UserVerifier and in such case we'd have nothing to
answer, but we currently throw an error:
JS ERROR: Exception in callback for signal: no-more-messages:
TypeError: this._userVerifier is null

As per previous commit the user can cancel an ongoing authentication via
Escape key and that will always send the user back to the clock view in
lockscreen or user-selection view in login prompt.
However, we can be a little more permissive and don't switch view to be
able to restart the authentication without further action.
To avoid this to be abused though, we consider the user verification
cancellation via escape key to be a "soft-failure", so once the
configured "allowed-failures" gsettings value has been reached, we'd
just act as before, ignoring any further request (until we don't get
back to the user auth view).
In this way we still make brute-force attacks harder to do, while still
giving the well-behaving user some ability to fix mistakes.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1622>
Escape key is supposed to cancel a verification, however if the user
already hit Enter to begin the authentication the Escape key won't work
until the verification completed.
This may be quite inconvenient when an user did a typo while writing and
wants to cancel the already started auth.
So, while authenticating (or in general while the entry is unsensitive)
give the key focus to the authpromt itself so that we can still get the
input events and cancel an user action.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1622>
When a cancel event in the user lockscreen happens we first emit a reset
signal and immediately a cancelled one.
This lead to start a new gdm worker for each enabled authentication
method and then immediately to stop it.
As per the previous commit, we don't have anymore dangling gdm workers
around, but still we should not even start a new one in such case.
So, when the user explicitly cancelled the authentication session, first
emit a cancelled event and only emit a reset event with a begin request
if we are outside the lockscreen.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1622>
When we cancel an user authentication via Escape key or cancel button on
AuthPrompt we reset the view and we emit a 'cancelled' signal that leads
to destroying the auth prompt and the user verifier.
However, the verifier may still have an operation in progress and its
completion may take some time (as in the case of gdm-fingerprint), but
we just leave the gdm worker running until its pam module completes
(potentially never) clearing and disposing its handle.
So, instead of just clearing the verify, actually cancel and clear it.
In case the user verifier is set, clearing the relevant data will happen
anyway as part of the cancel() call.
Ideally this would have been handled by gdm itself, but unfortunately we
can't fix it there because the verifier itself is a class generated by
gdbus-codegen, so we can't handle this automatically on disposal nor we
can automatically monitor when the caller proxy is stopped on our side.

The reason this wasn't using the Gio.DBus.makeProxyWrapper() convenience API is that it passes custom flags to the proxy, and that wasn't supported by the wrapper at the time.

Plain classes are private to their file, so accessing them from
another module results in the following warning:
That property was defined with 'let' or 'const' inside the module.
This was previously supported, but is not correct according to the
ES6 standard.
Fix by assigning the class to a public variable instead.
(Eventually switching to ES6 modules with proper imports/exports will
fix this as well)

The purpose of password peeking is to spot and correct errors;
the latter isn't possible when the entry is non-editable, so
we can hide the password again while authentication is ongoing.

At the moment, if a user switches to the login screen vt,
the login screen fades in whatever was on screen prior, and
then does a reset.
It makes more sense to reset first, so we fade in what the
user is going to interact with instead of what they interacted
with before.

The previous commit implemented a new CredentialManager interface to
facilitate adding additional providers for pre-authenticating the user
at the login screen.
This commit implements a new credential manager using that interface
for vmware deployments.

Commit 4cda61a1 added support for pre-authenticated logins in
oVirt environments. This feature prevents a user from having
to type their password twice (once to the oVirt management machine,
and then immediately again in the provisioned guest running gnome-shell).
That feature is currently oVirt specific, but a similar feature would
be useful in non-oVirt based virt farm environments.
Toward that end, this commit generalizes the various aspects of the
oVirt integration code, so that it can be reused in a subsequent
commit for adding single sign on support in vmware deployments, too.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1983
ClutterActor provides the same function, but with a different return
value. So since we already switched to the ClutterActor implementation
in our C code, we can now safely remove st_widget_get_resource_scale()
and update the JS code that's still using the old API.

We currently let the entry of the autoPrompt grab the key focus inside
setQuestion(), which is called from _onAskQuestion(), which is the
callback of the "ask-question" signal.
It seems that the "ask-question" signal isn't emitted again right after
the password-check failed, but a few seconds after that. Since we get
the "verification-failed" signal earlier than "ask-question" (right
after we know the check failed) and we also get a hint whether the entry
should be usable again with the canRetry argument, we can also grab key
focus to in the same step.
So do that by grabbing key focus when making the entry sensitive.
Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2655
We want the spinner to be centered with regard to the entry, but
constraining the height breaks that:
1. clutter_actor_allocate() is called with the available size
2. clutter_actor_update_constraints() then adjusts that according
to the constraints
3. clutter_actor_adjust_allocation() applies the margin/expand/align
properties.
The issue there is that 2. reduces the allocation to the desired size,
so there is no more extra space to distribute in 3.
We can fix this by either constraining everything (and rely on the
cancel button's alignment) or limit the constraint to the width. The
latter seems more appropriate, given that the constraint is only used
to center the entry horizontally.

Promises make asynchronous operations easier to manage, in particular
when used through the async/await syntax that allows for asynchronous
code to closely resemble synchronous one.
gjs has included a Gio._promisify() helper for a while now, which
monkey-patches methods that follow GIO's async pattern to return a
Promise when called without a callback argument.
Use that to get rid of all those GAsyncReadyCallbacks!

Commit 55b57421d changed signal handlers to the corresponding vfuncs,
but didn't always chain up as necessary. In most places this doesn't

items via the keyboard.

back.

Visually the button is just an interactive label, so having the
interactive area extend to the empty space next to the label
is surprising.
Instead, left-align the whole button rather than just the label
inside, so the clickable area corresponds to the visible one.

We turned both the auth prompt's cancel button and the switch user
button into icon buttons now, which means they are completely cryptic
when using a screen reader.
Just use the previously used labels as accessible names, which has the
nice side effect of lowering the impact of the string freeze break.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2210
The button is hidden on the lock screen, so it shouldn't be allowed to
activate it, be it via click or keyboard. The latter is still possible
by keynaving to the button and hitting space/enter. Fix that by making
the button unfocusable when we make it unreactive.

xgettext gained some support for template strings, and no longer
fails when encountering '/' somewhere between backticks.
Unfortunately its support is still buggy as hell, and it is now
silently dropping translatable strings, yay. I hate making the
code worse, but until xgettext really gets its shit together,
the only viable way forward seems to be to not use template
strings in any files listed in POTFILES.

The design team discussed the ellipses at the end of the hint text of

so remove those, too.

We don't want to show a caps-lock warning when showing a non-password
entry, but we also don't want the layout to jump when changing the

Usually, logging in or unlocking the session is made asynchronously,
and AuthPrompt properly manages which entry is currently visible.
External code don't rely on any specific entry to be set, since it
is AuthPrompt's responsibility to select the correct one to be shown.
However, there's one specific case where AuthPrompt must preserve
the password entry: on reset. The reset code preserved whatever
entry was currently displayed, but after fe69dacaf1, it always
changes to the username entry.
Make sure to show the password entry on reset.

In the past, the session menu button was part of the auth prompt widgetry,

now it is part of the login screen itself.
Hide the session menu button when the user list is shown.

Hiding the Caps lock warning label changes the layout of
Auth Prompt. This is specially noticeable when logging in
with unlisted users, where we change the visibility of this
label after typing a username, and the whole user widget
moves a bit.

Currently, AuthPrompt is connecting to its own 'next' signal
signal to react to any of the entries being activated, and do

Unfortunately, the question that is displayed comes directly
from PAM. It usually is just "Password:", which comes from
pam-unix, but other questions can be set, usually with the
colons, since they are crafted with a CLI workflow in mind.
Manually drop the colons from questions asked by PAM. This
is also done by the PolKit agent, which shows how the stack
is fragile, but it's what we have for now.

Currently, there is a dedicated label above the entry to

If username-based login flow is followed, we need a default avatar
for the userWidget. Hence, check if the user passed to userWidget
is (null) which implies a username-based login flow.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/922
Allow vertical orientation for the userWidget so that the user-avatar
can be centered and user's name can be placed below it. The plan
for 3.36 is to use this vertical userWidget layout for both lock
and login screen.
The userWidget is also used while creating the user-selection list
at the login, hence we still need to keep the horizontal layout
for userWidget in place.

Every since commit aa394754, StBoxLayout has supported ClutterActor's

We now have everything in place to replace Tweener for all animatable
properties with implicit animations, which has the following benefits:
- they run entirely in C, while Tweener requires context switches
to JS each frame
- they are more reliable, as Tweener only detects when an animation
is overwritten with another Tween, while Clutter considers any
property change
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/22
The different units - seconds for Tweener and milliseconds for
timeouts - are not a big issue currently, as there is little
overlap. However this will change when we start using Clutter's
own animation framework (which uses milliseconds as well), in
particular where constants are shared between modules.
In order to prepare for the transition, define all animation times
as milliseconds and adjust them when passing them to Tweener.

Braces are optional for single-line arrow functions, but there's a
subtle difference:
Without braces, the expression is implicitly used as return value; with
braces, the function returns nothing unless there's an explicit return.
We currently reflect that in our style by only omitting braces when the
function is expected to have a return value, but that's not very obvious,
not an important differentiation to make, and not easy to express in an
automatic rule.
So just omit braces consistently as mandated by gjs' coding style.
