This updates the auth dialog so that passwords are properly retrieved
(e.g. for the nm-applet). It also adds support for external UI mode and
properly handles secret flags.
This is probably a good idea to do to signal there's significant changes in
dependencies to the distro package maintainers with libnm port and associated
changes.
libgnomeui is long deprecated.
There's one functional difference: the choice to save the passwords is gone.
The password flags and saved password should be set in the preferences dialog,
but this commit does not fix that.
It was only possible to set the password from the authentication dialog,
which is not ideal; as it requires a connection attempt.
This adds an input entry along with a primary icon from libnma/libnm-gtk
which allows selecting the backend and flags for the password (system, session
agent, always ask or empty).
They're both the same now. We'll port the new one to libnm in follow-up commits.
NetworkManager 1.2 (which is currently versioned as 1.1.0) is going to bring
some new ABI while still supporting the old one. There's new VPN service and
UI plugin APIs in libnm.
There's one difficulty though -- the connection editor 1.2 will be linked
against libnm and a new libnma library it will provide (as opposed to
libnm-glib and libnm-gtk), thus will be incapable of loading of property
plugins that are linked with the old libraries (due to glib type system
limitations).
However, we must not break support for other connection editors (GNOME control
center, older versions of nm-connection-editor, etc.) therefore we need
to build two versions of the property plugin. NetworkManager 1.2's libnm will
provide a shim that makes it easy.
It's the preferred location for system-provided plugins.
A compatible file in /etc is still kept. Also, the compatibility /etc
file needs to use a full path due to a bug in GNOME Shell.
The full path to a arch-dependent file in a supposedly arch-independent
file is a sin and a multilib violation in some distributions. However.
some pre-release versions of NetworkManager-1.2 as shipped by
distributions require a full path. Let's keep a configure-time option
for that.
This will ensure the strongSwan NetworkManager plugin will be easily
installable from the app stores such as GNOME Software.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#41.
