Hi all, attached is a patch for cleaning up improving Balsa's password ui.
(1) If available, use the GCR password dialogue. (2) Implement asking the user for a user certificates passphrase if required, using the same dialogue as the password dialogue. (3) Clean up the LibBalsaServer signals (see [1]). Regarding the "get-password" signal, the additional LibBalsaMailbox argument which was never used properly (passing the mailbox to config_mailbox_init() in src/save-restore.c, l. 422, sets the /third/ user_data argument of the callback which is never evaluated) is replaced by a string which is either empty for reading the user password, or contains the user certificate's subject for the passphrase of the latter. (4) Simplify the user certificate passphrase callback from libnetclient by passing the certificate subject instead of the certificate binary data. (5) Reading the password can be simplified due to the omitted (useless) LibBalsaMailbox argument. Please note that the patch goes on top of the following pending patches: * the “unified server configuration GUI” patch I submitted October 21st, * Peter's fixes for building with LDAP support for this patch and * the “Fix broken IMAP Kerberos authentication” patch I submitted October 23rd. There are still some open points (e.g. user certificates for IMAP, clearing the passwords for auth failures, etc.) which I will address in a separate patch (soon, I hope). As usual, any comment is highly welcome! Cheers, Albrecht.
