[Bug 388593] Re: Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password
Isn't there already a fix that makes the keychain use the login password? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028324 Is there some security issue with that, or can it just be implemented by default? As for renaming the "Available to All Users" box, how about "Always use saved encryption key" or "Do not prompt for password on connect" -- Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388593 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 388593] Re: Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password
OS X does this by having multiple keychains - a "system" keychain that holds "common" items like WiFi passwords, and a "private" keychain that holds everything else. One thing to be aware of with all of this however is support for corporate-style WPA connections where a username/password pair (and possibly even a certificate) are used rather than just a consumer-style password. In the corporate scenario the current behavior is "correct" - the username/password pair should only be unlocked by the user who's credentials are being used - we don't want Bob to be using Mary's credentials on the corporate wireless network! Ignoring auto-login for the moment, another way to look at this is "WHY are users seeing that message?", the answer in many cases being the system password has been changed to be different from the Keychain password. Again there's two ways to handle this: 1. When the user changes their system password, ask if their keychain password should be changed as well. Probably difficult to implement for command line utils though like 'passwd' unless it can be plugged in to PAM somehow. 2. When the password prompt is being displayed immediately after login, display a message with some text like "You were prompted for this password as your Keychain password is currently different from your Login password. Would you like to change your Keychain password to match your Login password?" -- Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388593 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 388593] Re: Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password
This problem has an easy solution, as stated in a previous comment by Jonathan Blackhall. Checking the "Available to all users" box solves the problem. So, now the real problem is to make people understand that checking this box will disable our famous prompt. I suggest to add a checkbox when first connecting to a wireless network, so that the user can choose whether to store the wifi password and autoconnect to the network (these already exist) and, if so, whether to make it publicly available. Moreover, I would change the "Available to all users" message in the connection manager with something like "Make this connection publicly available". Something that clearly states that no password will be need, for the wifi nor the keyring. "Available to all users", keyrings..., confusing language to a non-tech user. There is another choice. To simply store the password outside the keyring when the user chooses to autoconnect to a network. A warning should be shown at that point, saying that this is going to make the wifi password readable to everyone, and asking the user if he's sure he wants to do that. -- Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388593 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 388593] Re: Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password
Sorry, I forgot the main point in that system. Of course it encrypts all the passwords by that master password. Dumb me.

[Bug 388593] Re: Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password
That's not how it works. The main purpose of the keyring is to actually encrypt the different passwords using a master password, which makes it impossible to retrieve the passwords without you entering the right key. So the whole problem is: how can we give users the choice not to encrypt their WiFi passwords when they are using autologin? Then the trusted list is already working. -- Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388593 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 388593] Re: Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password
I'm not sure how this system works but as far as I understand, Network Manager asks for wireless password in Gnome Keyring. Gnome Keyring asks user to enter his/her keyring password and then grants or denies its access from keyring depending if the password was valid or not (or user simply denies access). Would it be possible to modify/develop Gnome keyring to support checksums (or some kind of signatures?) as authentication method. ie. NM asks for permission to read password from Gnome Keyring. First time G. Keyring asks 'NM wants to access Gnome keyring. Enter your password to grant access.' User simply enters his/her password and THEN makes the choice if he/she wants to give NM a permission to auth on its own (by signature or checksum). If user ticks that box, keyring adds this software (its checksum) to the 'trusted' list. This is just plain brainstorming, because I don't personally have much of an experience in programming. -- Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388593 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 388593] Re: Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password
Ok, I followed Jonathan's instructions and it works like charm. The problem is people doesn't know that making a wireless connection "Available to all users" means "No need to enter the keyring password". What about changing the message in the checkbox for a two-line "Available to all users / (No need to enter the keyring password)"? And, of course, asking for this at the same time the n-m asks whether to store the password or not. -- Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388593 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 388593] Re: Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password
I thought of this as a papercut, even though I knew the solution is not easy. I think that the best solution would be to create two keyrings, one private and one public. Of course, the user password is needed to write in both of them, but it is only needed to read the private one. Then, an application in System->Preferences (can't remember if it's called exactly this way since I use the Spanish version) would allow the user to choose which passwords stay in the private keyring (the default behaviour) and which ones go to the public one. There's already a program there called "Encryption and keyrings" (or something similar, sorry again), and that would be a good candidate to add this functionality in another tab. The network manager could ask, if the user chooses to store the wifi key, whether to make it public or private as well; but in less technical terms. -- Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388593 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 388593] Re: Wifi auto-connection asks for keyring password
Just to add some more information to this, if you edit the Wireless Connection you're using and check the "Available to all users" box at the bottom, the network will connect automatically when booting. You still might get asked to unlock your keyring for other applications trying to access it (like Gnome-Do or something else), but the network should connect in the background. Good choice for a papercut, btw.
