The auto unlocking gnome keyring stuff is not working well for me. I get prompted every time I start evolution for the 'default' keyring password with the option of automatically unlocking it at login, which I always check. Half of my passwords are stored in the 'default' keyring and half are in the 'login' keyring. Assuming that a bold name in gnome-keyring-manager denotes what it thinks is the default keyring, then the login keyring is the default one. I get prompted for the password to the 'default' keyring which then means the one named default, and I also get prompted for the default keyring, which ends up being the login one. The only difference in the prompting dialogs is the quoting. The password to the login keyring is the same as my unix one. The password to my default keyring is different. Do all three need to be the same to work? Also, is this supposed to work for an NIS setup? My laptop is a local account but my work one is NIS. The auto unlocking keyring stuff doesn't work anywhere. I don't know if some of this is related to the fact that you still can't log out correctly so things may not get saved. This is on an up to date 9/29 rawhide system.
We have debugged the problem at length today, and found that there are 2 problems: 1) The pam configuration needs changes to enable gnome-keyring to do what it needs to do. This requires authconfig changes that are outlinedin bug 250147 2) With the authconfig changes in place, it works selinux disabled. When selinux is enabled, it prevents the pam module (running in gdm context) from talking to the daemon (running in the session) via the socket. The proposed fix for this is to start the daemon in a way that lets it unlock the keyring, ie pass the username/password at start - probably not via cmdline though, since that would make it show up in /proc for everyone to read)
gnome-keyring-2.20-4.fc8 has a fix for the selinux problem. Now we just need to fix authconfig.
I have the exact same problem with the network manager. It always asks for the keyring unlock to get the wpa string with an option to do this in the futur when I log in automaticaly. I always place the tick but it never works. This is still an issue with gnome-keyring-2.20-6.fc8 and authconfig-5.3.18-1.fc8.
I have turned the auto-unlock checkboxes off now, until we have the necessary pam setup changes.
I can't see the checkbox here at all... How to create the login keyring?
(In reply to comment #4) > I have turned the auto-unlock checkboxes off now, until we have the necessary > pam setup changes. Did this remain off when F-8 shipped? BZ #356931 seems to be manifesting this problem. Is there any chance of pushing an update which unbreaks this situation?
Re-opening this bug as the no-autounlock patch is still in the SRPM, and reassigning to F-8. Any chance of pushing an update with this fixed for F-8?
Since there is a fix for the authconfig issue in BZ #250147 and the SElinux issue is resolved, what is preventing pushing an updated package for F8 to give functional gnome-pam-keyring?
Any update on this? If there is anything I can do to help please advise. - James
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
As far as I can see this is working now in F-10 and in F-9 for some time. So this bug can probably be closed now.
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
