Detailed Description
This class is intended to make it easier to prompt for, cache and retrieve authorization information.
When using this class to cache, retrieve or prompt authentication information, you only need to set the necessary attributes. For example, to check whether a password is already cached, the only required information is the URL of the resource and optionally whether or not a path match should be performed. Similarly, to prompt for password you only need to optionally set the prompt, username (if already supplied), comment and commentLabel fields.
SPECIAL NOTE: If you extend this class to add additional parameters do not forget to overload the stream insertion and extraction operators ("<<" and ">>") so that the added data can be correctly serialized.
A two way messaging class for passing authentication information.

Member Function Documentation
◆ getExtraField()
Get Extra Field Value Check QVariant::isValid() to find out if the field exists.
Definition at line 164 of file authinfo.cpp.
◆ getExtraFieldFlags()
AuthInfo::FieldFlags AuthInfo::getExtraFieldFlags | ( | const QString & | fieldName | ) | const |
Get Extra Field Flags.
Definition at line 173 of file authinfo.cpp.
◆ isModified()
bool AuthInfo::isModified | ( | ) | const |
Use this method to check if the object was modified.
- Returns
- true if the object has been modified
Definition at line 142 of file authinfo.cpp.
◆ operator=()
Custom assignment operator.
Definition at line 123 of file authinfo.cpp.
◆ registerMetaTypes()
|
static |
Register the meta-types for AuthInfo.
This is called from AuthInfo's constructor but needed by daemons on the D-Bus such as kpasswdserver.
Definition at line 182 of file authinfo.cpp.
◆ setExtraField()
Set Extra Field Value.
Currently supported extra-fields: "domain" (QString), "anonymous" (bool) Setting it to an invalid QVariant() will disable the field. Extra Fields are disabled by default.
Definition at line 154 of file authinfo.cpp.
◆ setExtraFieldFlags()
void AuthInfo::setExtraFieldFlags | ( | const QString & | fieldName, |
const FieldFlags | flags ) |
Set Extra Field Flags.
Definition at line 159 of file authinfo.cpp.
◆ setModified()
void AuthInfo::setModified | ( | bool | flag | ) |
Use this method to indicate that this object has been modified.
- Parameters
-
flag true to mark the object as modified, false to clear
Definition at line 147 of file authinfo.cpp.
Member Data Documentation
◆ caption
QString KIO::AuthInfo::caption |
The text to displayed in the title bar of the password prompting dialog.
- Note
- If this field is not set, the authentication dialog simply displays the preset default caption.
This setting is optional and empty by default.
Definition at line 132 of file authinfo.h.
◆ comment
QString KIO::AuthInfo::comment |
Additional comment to be displayed when prompting the user for authentication information.
This field allows you to display a short (no more than 80 characters) extra description in the password prompt dialog. For example, this field along with the commentLabel can be used to describe the server that requested the authentication:
where "Server:" is the commentLabel and the rest is the actual comment. Note that it is always better to use the commentLabel
field as it will be placed properly in the dialog rather than to include it within the actual comment.
This setting is optional and empty by default.
Definition at line 156 of file authinfo.h.
◆ commentLabel
QString KIO::AuthInfo::commentLabel |
Descriptive label to be displayed in front of the comment when prompting the user for password.
This setting is optional and only applicable when the comment field is also set.
Definition at line 165 of file authinfo.h.
◆ digestInfo
QString KIO::AuthInfo::digestInfo |
Field to store any extra authentication information for protocols that need it.
This setting is optional and mostly applicable for HTTP protocol. However, any protocol can make use of it to store extra info.
Definition at line 189 of file authinfo.h.
◆ keepPassword
bool KIO::AuthInfo::keepPassword |
Flag to indicate the persistence of the given password.
This is a two-way flag, when set before calling openPasswordDialog it makes the "keep Password" check box visible to the user. In return the flag will indicate the state of the check box. By default if the flag is checked the password will be cached for the entire life of the current KDE session otherwise the cached password is deleted right after the application using it has been closed.
Definition at line 222 of file authinfo.h.
◆ modified
|
protected |
Definition at line 267 of file authinfo.h.
◆ password
QString KIO::AuthInfo::password |
This is required for caching.
Definition at line 110 of file authinfo.h.
◆ prompt
QString KIO::AuthInfo::prompt |
Information to be displayed when prompting the user for authentication information.
- Note
- If this field is not set, the authentication dialog simply displays the preset default prompt.
This setting is optional and empty by default.
Definition at line 121 of file authinfo.h.
◆ readOnly
bool KIO::AuthInfo::readOnly |
Flag which if set forces the username field to be read-only.
This setting is optional and false by default.
Definition at line 209 of file authinfo.h.
◆ realmValue
QString KIO::AuthInfo::realmValue |
A unique identifier that allows caching of multiple passwords for different resources in the same server.
Mostly this setting is applicable to the HTTP protocol whose authentication scheme explicitly defines the use of such a unique key. However, any protocol that can generate or supply a unique id can effectively use it to distinguish passwords.
This setting is optional and not set by default.
Definition at line 179 of file authinfo.h.
◆ url
QUrl KIO::AuthInfo::url |
The URL for which authentication is to be stored.
This field is required when attempting to cache authorization and retrieve it. However, it is not needed when prompting the user for authorization info.
This setting is required except when prompting the user for password.
Definition at line 100 of file authinfo.h.
◆ username
QString KIO::AuthInfo::username |
This is required for caching.
Definition at line 105 of file authinfo.h.
◆ verifyPath
bool KIO::AuthInfo::verifyPath |
Flag that, if set, indicates whether a path match should be performed when requesting for cached authorization.
A path is deemed to be a match if it is equal to or is a subset of the cached path. For example, if stored path is "/foo/bar" and the request's path set to "/foo/bar/acme", then it is a match whereas it would not if the request's path was set to "/foo".
This setting is optional and false by default.
