NM updates timestamp for active connections every 5 min. We don't
want to touch files in /etc due to this. This commit solves that
by not updating timestamp in the connection's property. Rather it
updates the timestamp internally. All timestamps are also kept track
of in /var/lib/NetworkManager/timestamps file.
When settings are requested via D-Bus GetSettings(), the proper
timestamp is put in the connection setting before returning.
We can't unregister the object with the bus during the remove signal,
because dbus-glib doesn't send the signal out over the bus until late
in the signal emission process, after we've unregisterd the object.
Thus the signal doesn't go out. Fix that.
Make sure to use modify.system if the Update request changes the
visibility of the connection, since that update request would
affect more users than just the caller.
When a connection is visible only to one user, check 'own' instead
of 'system', allowing 'own' to be less restrictive since the change
won't affect any other users.
Meaning stays the same, but this will allow us to differentiate
in the future between personal connections (ie, just visible to
one user) and system connections (visible to more than one user).
We don't want these secrets in the NMSettingsConnection's internal
secrets cache since they shoulnd't ever be read off-disk, and they
should be discarded immedaitely after use. Similarly, we want to
remove any of these secrets that do come through from a secrets
request that doesn't allow user-interaction, since not-saved secrets
aren't allowed there.
Do the check for system-owned secrets once, before kicking off the
request, instead of each time we ask an agent. As a bonus, this
change ensures priv->secrets doesn't store anything except
system-owned secrets too, simplifying some checks later on.
If we can authenticate the agent for 'modify' permission, then send
any existing system secrets to it as the user has permission to change
those secrets. This means the agent doesn't have to call GetSecrets()
itself, which means simpler code on the agent side for a slight LoC
hit in NM itself.
This also moves the permissions checking into the NMAgentManager to
check each agent, which is sub-optimal since now the agent manager
has to do PolicyKit stuff, but hey that's life. Agents need secrets,
and we do need to authenticate every agent before we send secrets to
them, and the NMSettingsConnection doesn't know about individual
agents at all.
If the agent returns system-owned secrets, like when activating a new
connection which was created with no secrets, make sure the agent is
authorized to modify network settings before saving or using the
new secrets.
It's the thing that owns the secrets anyway, and it simplifies things to
have the secrets handling there instead of half in NMActRequest and
half in NMManager. It also means we can get rid of the ugly signals
that NMSettingsConnection had to emit to get agent's secrets, and
we can consolidate the requests for the persistent secrets that the
NMSettingsConnection owned into NMSettingsConnection itself instead
of also in NMAgentManager.
Since the NMActRequest and the NMVPNConnection classes already tracked
the underlying NMSettingsConnection representing the activation, its
trivial to just have them ask the NMSettingsConnection for secrets
instead of talking to the NMAgentManager. Thus, only the
NMSettingsConnection now has to know about the agent manager, and it
presents a cleaner interface to other objects further up the chain,
instead of having bits of the secrets request splattered around the
activation request, the VPN connection, the NMManager, etc.
When a user makes an explicit request for secrets via GetSecrets
or activates a device, don't ask other users' agents for secrets.
Restrict secrets request to agents owned by the user that made the
initial activate or GetSecrets request.
Automatic activations still request secrets from any available agent.
A client calling GetSecrets on the connection should also request
secrets from agents in that client's session. ie, a connection
editor should be able to call GetSecrets, and get the secrets
stored by the agent in that session (the applet).
Simplifies code internally, and makes it easier for clients as well in
some cases where they want to control what ends up in the resulting
hash and what does not.
