epfl_roaming and manage_cred
manage_cred
... is a tool that receives user's credentials during authentication phase and keeps it for later use. Any tool that want to benefit from it has to implement a "manage_cred's extension" by adding a Python file in /usr/local/lib/manage_cred/ that implements both :
- FLAG_FILE : points to a file that reports that this extension expects to be run
- run : function that will receive both the username and the password in order to perform the commands needing the credentials.
The files related to manage_cred : + /etc/pam.d/common-auth
Says that PAM has to run `manage_cred.py` at authentication step with credentials exposed
+ /usr/local/bin/manage_cred.py
Main script
+ /usr/local/lib/manage_cred
Folder that will contain all extensions
epfl_roaming
... is a tool that stores selected application's config/preferences on the NAS. This is configured by adding right the folders, files and DConf keys in /usr/local/etc/epfl_roaming.conf.
This version does not provide a clean environment at each login nor erase data at logout time!
It directly needs manage_cred, since it has to mount the NAS during session creation at a time when we don't receive the password from PAM.
The files related to epfl_roaming : + /etc/pam.d/common-session
Says that PAM has to run `epfl_roaming.py --pam` at session opening and closing. Most of the job is done here.
+ /etc/skel/.config/autostart/epfl_roaming.desktop
Says that Gnome/Unity has to run `epfl_roaming.py --session` when session is opened (used to apply DConf keys)
+ /etc/systemd/system/epfl_roaming_on_shutdown.service
Says that systemd has to run `epfl_roaming.py --on_halt` when the system is shut down or rebooted (since PAM procedure might be skipped or aborted)
+ /usr/local/bin/epfl_roaming.py
Main script
+ /usr/local/etc/epfl_roaming.conf
Configuration
+ /usr/local/lib/manage_cred/ext_epfl_roaming.py
manage_cred's extension for epfl_roaming
How to do the setup
