AuthorizationRule Class Reference

Detailed Description
AuthorizationRule plasma/authorizationrule.h <Plasma/AuthorizationRule>
Defines a rule indicating whether or not a certain service can be accessed by a certain
machine.
Rules allow you to have control over which computers are allowed to access which
services. Every time a message get's in, AuthorizationManager validates it's sender, and then
checks it's list of rules for rules matching the sender and/or the service. If no rules match,
or all matching rules have the value Unspecified, AuthorizationManager will create a new rule
for this message, and invoke authorize on your shells implementation of AuthorizationInterface.
Here, you can change that rule to either allow or deny that request.
This class can be used to specify different types of rules:
- Rules matching only a user
- Rules matching only a service
- Rules matching both a service, and a user.
A more specific rule always takes precedence over a more global rule: so if for example you have
a rule for "myAwesomeService" specifying Deny, and a rule for "myAwesomeService" in combination
with "130.42.120.146" as caller specifying Allow, only 130.42.120.146 can access
myAwesomeService.
By setting the PinRequired flag in setRules in an AuthorizationInterface implementation, you
trigger Pin pairing (user will be asked to enter the same password on both machines).
