I'll also try to help. Now I'm working in the Accounts & SSO team, and before that I developed the mission-control Telepathy daemon.

It has been fixed in the repository, I'll soon push it to OBS. but the much bigger gap is that the same information can also be read without root privileges in the unencrypted ~/.signon databases - in MeeGo, at least. For the encryption to work, we need to write a plugin implementing the AbstractKeyManager interface: this plugin should emit some keys which will be used to encrypt/access the secure storage. In Maemo Harmattan we have such a plugin [0], which uses the SIM card authentication key, so that the secure storage is enabled only when a SIM card is inserted (and not any SIM, actually :-) ). But it uses libCellularQt, which AFAIK is not available in MeeGo. To force encryption, we could just write a simple plugin which always emits an hardcoded key, or somehow integrate with the screen unlocking process and have it unlock the secure storage too.

[Meego-handset] About missing usage of Accounts & SSO
Hi all, I'm the maintainer of the MeeGo Accounts & SSO packages. I had a quick look at the gitorious project for the handset UX, and it seems to me that none of the applications are using the Accounts & SSO framework. Why is it so? Is it in the roadmap to use it? Will there be a separate account configuration application (or a CP applet), or is it the plan that if you have a Google account you need to configure it multiple times, once per application? Please let me know if I can be of help; I'd really like to see MeeGo use the accounts & SSO framework in the same way that Maemo Harmattan is doing. Ciao, Alberto BTW, are there any documents describing how applications should look like, or is the UI design up to the developer? -- http://blog.mardy.it <-- geek in un lingua international! ___ MeeGo-handset mailing list MeeGo-handset@lists.meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-handset
