Class Details¶

class EDataServer.Source(**kwargs)¶

Bases:: GObject.Object, Gio.Initable, Gio.ProxyResolver
Abstract:: No
Structure:: EDataServer.SourceClass

Contains only private data that should be read and manipulated using the functions below.

New in version 3.6.

classmethod new(dbus_object, main_context)¶

Parameters:

dbus_object (Gio.DBusObject or None) – a Gio.DBusObject or None
main_context (GLib.MainContext or None) – a GLib.MainContext or None

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

a new EDataServer.Source, or None on error

Return type:

EDataServer.Source

Creates a new EDataServer.Source instance.

The EDataServer.Source ::changed signal will be emitted from main_context if given, or else from the thread-default GLib.MainContext at the time this function is called.

The only time the function should be called outside of EDataServer.SourceRegistry is to create a so-called “scratch” EDataServer.Source for editing in a Properties window or an account setup assistant.

FIXME: Elaborate on scratch sources.

New in version 3.6.

classmethod new_with_uid(uid, main_context)¶

Parameters:

uid (str) – a new unique identifier string
main_context (GLib.MainContext or None) – a GLib.MainContext or None

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

a new scratch EDataServer.Source, or None on error

Return type:

EDataServer.Source

Creates a new “scratch” EDataServer.Source with a predetermined unique identifier.

The EDataServer.Source ::changed signal will be emitted from main_context if given, or else from the thread-default GLib.MainContext at the time this function is called.

New in version 3.6.

classmethod parameter_to_key(param_name)¶

Parameters:: param_name (str) – a GObject.ParamSpec name
Return type:: str

Converts a GObject.ParamSpec name (e.g. “foo-bar” or “foo_bar”) to “CamelCase” for use as a GLib.KeyFile key (e.g. “FooBar”).

This function is made public only to aid in account migration. Applications should not need to use this.

New in version 3.6.

camel_configure_service(service)¶

Parameters:: service (Camel.Service) – a Camel.Service

This function essentially glues together self and serivce so their configuration settings stay synchronized. The glue itself is a shared Camel.Settings instance.

Call this function immediately after creating a new Camel.Service with Camel.Session.add_service().

New in version 3.6.

changed()¶

Emits the EDataServer.Source ::changed signal from an idle callback in self's EDataServer.Source :main-context.

This function is primarily intended for use by EDataServer.SourceExtension when emitting a GObject.Object ::notify signal on one of its properties.

New in version 3.6.

compare_by_display_name(source2)¶

Parameters:: source2 (EDataServer.Source) – the second EDataServer.Source
Returns:: a negative value if self compares before source2, zero if they compare equal, or a positive value if self compares after source2
Return type:: int

Compares two EDataServer.Source instances by their display names. Useful for ordering sources in a user interface.

New in version 3.6.

delete_password(cancellable, callback, *user_data)¶

Parameters:

cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None
callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – a Gio.AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
user_data (object or None) – data to pass to the callback function

Asynchronously deletes the password for self from either the default keyring or session keyring. This operation does not rely on the registry service and therefore works for any EDataServer.Source – registered or “scratch”.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call EDataServer.Source.delete_password_finish() to get the result of the operation.

New in version 3.12.

delete_password_finish(result)¶

Parameters:: result (Gio.AsyncResult) – a Gio.AsyncResult
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: True on success, False on error
Return type:: bool

Finishes the operation started with EDataServer.Source.delete_password().

Note the boolean return value indicates whether the delete operation itself completed successfully, not whether a password was found and deleted. If no password was found, the function will still return True. If an error occurs, the function sets error and returns False.

New in version 3.12.

delete_password_sync(cancellable)¶

Parameters:: cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: True on success, False on error
Return type:: bool

Deletes the password for self from either the default keyring or session keyring. This operation does not rely on the registry service and therefore works for any EDataServer.Source – registered or “scratch”.

Note the boolean return value indicates whether the delete operation itself completed successfully, not whether a password was found and deleted. If no password was found, the function will still return True. If an error occurs, the function sets error and returns False.

New in version 3.12.

dup_display_name()¶

Returns:: a newly-allocated copy of EDataServer.Source :display-name
Return type:: str

Thread-safe variation of EDataServer.Source.get_display_name(). Use this function when accessing self from multiple threads.

The returned string should be freed with GLib.free() when no longer needed.

New in version 3.6.

dup_parent()¶

Returns:: a newly-allocated copy of EDataServer.Source :parent
Return type:: str or None

Thread-safe variation of EDataServer.Source.get_parent(). Use this function when accessing self from multiple threads.

The returned string should be freed with GLib.free() when no longer needed.

New in version 3.6.

dup_secret_label()¶

Returns:: a newly-allocated secret label
Return type:: str

Creates a label string based on self's EDataServer.Source :display-name for use with #SecretItem.

New in version 3.12.

dup_uid()¶

Returns:: a newly-allocated copy of EDataServer.Source :uid
Return type:: str

Thread-safe variation of EDataServer.Source.get_uid(). Use this function when accessing self from multiple threads.

The returned string should be freed with GLib.free() when no longer needed.

New in version 3.6.

emit_credentials_required(reason, certificate_pem, certificate_errors, op_error)¶

Parameters:

reason (EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason) – an EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason, why the credentials are required
certificate_pem (str) – PEM-encoded secure connection certificate, or an empty string
certificate_errors (Gio.TlsCertificateFlags) – a bit-or of Gio.TlsCertificateFlags for secure connection certificate
op_error (GLib.Error or None) – a GLib.Error with a description of the previous credentials error, or None

Emits locally (in this process only) the EDataServer.Source ::credentials-required signal with given parameters. That’s the difference with EDataServer.Source.invoke_credentials_required(), which calls the signal globally, within each client.

New in version 3.16.

equal(source2)¶

Parameters:: source2 (EDataServer.Source) – the second EDataServer.Source
Returns:: True if self and source2 are equal
Return type:: bool

Checks two EDataServer.Source instances for equality. EDataServer.Source instances are equal if their unique identifier strings are equal.

New in version 3.6.

get_connection_status()¶

Returns:: Current connection status of the self.
Return type:: EDataServer.SourceConnectionStatus

Obtain current connection status of the self.

New in version 3.16.

get_display_name()¶

Returns:: the display name for self
Return type:: str

Returns the display name for self. Use the display name to represent the EDataServer.Source in a user interface.

New in version 3.6.

get_enabled()¶

Returns:: whether self is enabled
Return type:: bool

Returns True if self is enabled.

An application should try to honor this setting if at all possible, even if it does not provide a way to change the setting through its user interface. Disabled data sources should generally be hidden.

This function does not take into account self's ancestors in the EDataServer.Source hierarchy, each of which have their own enabled state. If any of self's ancestors are disabled, then self itself should be treated as disabled. Use EDataServer.SourceRegistry.check_enabled() to easily check for this.

New in version 3.6.

get_extension(extension_name)¶

Parameters:: extension_name (str) – an extension name
Returns:: an instance of some EDataServer.SourceExtension subclass
Return type:: EDataServer.SourceExtension

Returns an instance of some EDataServer.SourceExtension subclass which registered itself under extension_name. If no such instance exists within self, one will be created. It is the caller’s responsibility to know which subclass is being returned.

If you just want to test for the existence of an extension within self without creating it, use EDataServer.Source.has_extension().

Extension instances are owned by their EDataServer.Source and should not be referenced directly. Instead, reference the EDataServer.Source instance and use this function to fetch the extension instance as needed.

New in version 3.6.

get_last_credentials_required_arguments(cancellable, callback, *user_data)¶

Parameters:

cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None
callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – a Gio.AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
user_data (object or None) – data to pass to the callback function

Asynchronously calls the GetLastCredentialsRequiredArguments method on the server side, to get the last values used for the ‘credentials-required’ signal. See EDataServer.Source.get_last_credentials_required_arguments_sync() for more information.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call EDataServer.Source.get_last_credentials_required_arguments_finish() to get the result of the operation.

New in version 3.16.

get_last_credentials_required_arguments_finish(result)¶

Parameters:

result (Gio.AsyncResult) – a Gio.AsyncResult

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

True on success, False on error

out_reason:: an EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason, why the credentials are required
out_certificate_pem:: PEM-encoded secure connection certificate, or an empty string
out_certificate_errors:: a bit-or of Gio.TlsCertificateFlags for secure connection certificate
out_op_error:: a GLib.Error with a description of the previous credentials error

Return type:

(bool, out_reason: EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason, out_certificate_pem: str, out_certificate_errors: Gio.TlsCertificateFlags, out_op_error: GLib.Error)

Finishes the operation started with EDataServer.Source.get_last_credentials_required_arguments(). See EDataServer.Source.get_last_credentials_required_arguments_sync() for more information about the output arguments.

If an error occurs, the function sets error and returns False.

New in version 3.16.

get_last_credentials_required_arguments_sync(cancellable)¶

Parameters:

cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None

Raises:

GLib.Error

out_certificate_pem:: PEM-encoded secure connection certificate, or an empty string
out_certificate_errors:: a bit-or of Gio.TlsCertificateFlags for secure connection certificate
out_op_error:: a GLib.Error with a description of the previous credentials error

Return type:

(bool, out_reason: EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason, out_certificate_pem: str, out_certificate_errors: Gio.TlsCertificateFlags, out_op_error: GLib.Error)

Retrieves the last used arguments of the ‘credentials-required’ signal emission. If there was none emitted yet, or a corresponding ‘authenitcate’ had been emitted already, then the out_reason is set to EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason.UNKNOWN and the value of other ‘out’ arguments is set to no values.

If an error occurs, the function sets error and returns False. The result str values should be freed with GLib.free() when no longer needed.

New in version 3.16.

get_oauth2_access_token(cancellable, callback, *user_data)¶

Parameters:

cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None
callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – a Gio.AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
user_data (object or None) – data to pass to the callback function

Asynchronously obtains the OAuth 2.0 access token for self along with its expiry in seconds from the current time (or 0 if unknown).

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call EDataServer.Source.get_oauth2_access_token_finish() to get the result of the operation.

New in version 3.8.

get_oauth2_access_token_finish(result)¶

Parameters:

result (Gio.AsyncResult) – a Gio.AsyncResult

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

True on success, False on error

out_access_token:: return location for the access token, or None
out_expires_in:: return location for the token expiry, or None

Return type:

(bool, out_access_token: str, out_expires_in: int)

Finishes the operation started with EDataServer.Source.get_oauth2_access_token().

Free the returned access token with GLib.free() when finished with it. If an error occurred, the function will set error and return False.

New in version 3.8.

get_oauth2_access_token_sync(cancellable)¶

Parameters:

cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

True on success, False on error

out_access_token:: return location for the access token, or None
out_expires_in:: return location for the token expiry, or None

Return type:

(bool, out_access_token: str, out_expires_in: int)

Obtains the OAuth 2.0 access token for self along with its expiry in seconds from the current time (or 0 if unknown).

Free the returned access token with GLib.free() when finished with it. If an error occurs, the function will set error and return False.

New in version 3.8.

get_parent()¶

Returns:: the UID of the parent EDataServer.Source
Return type:: str or None

Returns the unique identifier string of the parent EDataServer.Source.

New in version 3.6.

get_remote_creatable()¶

Returns:: whether self can create remote resources
Return type:: bool

Returns whether new resources can be created on a remote server by calling EDataServer.Source.remote_create() on self.

Generally this is only True if self has an EDataServer.SourceCollection extension, which means there is an #ECollectionBackend in the D-Bus service that can handle create requests. If self does not have this capability, calls to EDataServer.Source.remote_create() will fail.

New in version 3.6.

get_remote_deletable()¶

Returns:: whether self can delete remote resources
Return type:: bool

Returns whether the resource represented by self can be deleted from a remote server by calling EDataServer.Source.remote_delete().

Generally this is only True if self is a child of an EDataServer.Source which has an EDataServer.SourceCollection extension, which means there is an #ECollectionBackend in the D-Bus service that can handle delete requests. If self does not have this capability, calls to EDataServer.Source.remote_delete() will fail.

New in version 3.6.

get_removable()¶

Returns:: whether self is removable
Return type:: bool

Returns whether the D-Bus service will allow self to be removed. If self is not writable, calls to EDataServer.Source.remove() will fail.

New in version 3.6.

get_uid()¶

Returns:: the UID for self
Return type:: str

Returns the unique identifier string for self.

New in version 3.6.

get_writable()¶

Returns:: whether self is writable

New in version 3.6.

has_extension(extension_name)¶

Parameters:: extension_name (str) – an extension name
Returns:: True if self has such an extension, False if not
Return type:: bool

Checks whether self has an EDataServer.SourceExtension with the given name.

New in version 3.6.

hash()¶

Returns:: a hash value for self.
Return type:: int

Generates a hash value for self. This function is intended for easily hashing an EDataServer.Source to add to a GLib.HashTable or similar data structure.

New in version 3.6.

invoke_authenticate(credentials, cancellable, callback, *user_data)¶

Parameters:

credentials (EDataServer.NamedParameters or None) – an EDataServer.NamedParameters structure with credentials to use; can be None to use those from the last call
cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None
callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – a Gio.AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
user_data (object or None) – data to pass to the callback function

Asynchronously calls the InvokeAuthenticate method on the server side, thus the backend knows what credentials to use to connect to its (possibly remote) data store.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call EDataServer.Source.invoke_authenticate_finish() to get the result of the operation.

New in version 3.16.

invoke_authenticate_finish(result)¶

Parameters:: result (Gio.AsyncResult) – a Gio.AsyncResult
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: True on success, False on error

cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

True on success, False on error

Return type:

bool

Calls the InvokeAuthenticate method on the server side, thus the backend knows what credentials to use to connect to its (possibly remote) data store.

If an error occurs, the function sets error and returns False.

New in version 3.16.

invoke_credentials_required(reason, certificate_pem, certificate_errors, op_error, cancellable, callback, *user_data)¶

Parameters:

reason (EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason) – an EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason, why the credentials are required

cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None
callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – a Gio.AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
user_data (object or None) – data to pass to the callback function

Asynchronously calls the InvokeCredentialsRequired method on the server side, to inform clients that credentials are required.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call EDataServer.Source.invoke_credentials_required_finish() to get the result of the operation.

New in version 3.16.

invoke_credentials_required_finish(result)¶

Parameters:: result (Gio.AsyncResult) – a Gio.AsyncResult
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: True on success, False on error
Return type:: bool

Finishes the operation started with EDataServer.Source.invoke_credentials_required().

If an error occurs, the function sets error and returns False.

New in version 3.16.

invoke_credentials_required_sync(reason, certificate_pem, certificate_errors, op_error, cancellable)¶

Parameters:

reason (EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason) – an EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason, why the credentials are required
certificate_pem (str) – PEM-encoded secure connection certificate, or an empty string
certificate_errors (Gio.TlsCertificateFlags) – a bit-or of Gio.TlsCertificateFlags for secure connection certificate
op_error (GLib.Error or None) – a GLib.Error with a description of the previous credentials error, or None
cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

True on success, False on error

Return type:

bool

Let’s the client-side know that credentials are required. The reason defines which parameters are used. The client passed the credentials with an EDataServer.Source.invoke_authenticate() call.

The EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason.REQUIRED is used for the first credentials prompt, when the client can return credentials as stored from the previous success login.

The EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason.REJECTED is used when the previously used credentials had been rejected by the server. That usually means that the user should be asked to provide/correct the credentials.

The EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason.SSL_FAILED is used when a secured connection failed due to some server-side certificate issues.

The EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason.ERROR is used when the server returned an error. It is not possible to connect to it at the moment usually.

If an error occurs, the function sets error and returns False.

New in version 3.16.

lookup_password(cancellable, callback, *user_data)¶

Parameters:

cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None
callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – a Gio.AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
user_data (object or None) – data to pass to the callback function

Asynchronously looks up a password for self. Both the default and session keyrings are queried. This operation does not rely on the registry service and therefore works for any EDataServer.Source – registered or “scratch”.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call EDataServer.Source.lookup_password_finish() to get the result of the operation.

New in version 3.12.

lookup_password_finish(result)¶

Parameters:

result (Gio.AsyncResult) – a Gio.AsyncResult

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

True on success, False on error

out_password:: return location for the password, or None

[str] or None

Looks into self's EDataServer.SourceProxy extension to determine what proxy, if any, to use to connect to uri. The returned proxy URIs are of the same form described by Gio.ProxyResolver.lookup().

The proxy extension’s EDataServer.SourceProxy :method controls how proxy URIs are determined:

When using EDataServer.ProxyMethod.DEFAULT, the function will defer to the Gio.ProxyResolver returned by Gio.ProxyResolver.get_default().

When using EDataServer.ProxyMethod.MANUAL, the function will configure a Gio.SimpleProxyResolver from the HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and SOCKS properties, as well as EDataServer.SourceProxy :ignore-hosts.

When using EDataServer.ProxyMethod.AUTO, the function will execute a proxy auto-config (PAC) file at EDataServer.SourceProxy :autoconfig-url.

When using EDataServer.ProxyMethod.NONE, the function will only return direct://.

If self does not have an EDataServer.SourceProxy extension, the function sets error to Gio.IOErrorEnum.NOT_SUPPORTED and returns None.

This is a simple way to schedule a periodic data source refresh.

Adds a timeout GLib.Source to context and handles all the bookkeeping if self's refresh EDataServer.SourceRefresh :enabled state or its refresh EDataServer.SourceRefresh :interval-minutes value changes. The callback is expected to dispatch an asynchronous job to connect to and fetch updates from a remote server.

The returned ID can be passed to EDataServer.Source.refresh_remove_timeout() to remove the timeout from context. Note the ID is a private handle and cannot be passed to GLib.Source.remove().

Returns:: True on success, False on error
Return type:: bool

Finishes the operation started with EDataServer.Source.remote_delete(). If an error occurred, the function will set error and return False.

New in version 3.6.

do_remote_delete_sync(cancellable) virtual¶

Parameters:: cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None
Returns:: True on success, False on error
Return type:: bool

Deletes the resource represented by source from a remote server. The source must be EDataServer.Source :remote-deletable. This will also delete the key file for source and broadcast its removal to all clients, similar to EDataServer.Source.remove_sync().

If an error occurs, the function will set error and return False.

New in version 3.6.

do_remove(cancellable, callback, *user_data) virtual¶

Parameters:

cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None
callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – a Gio.AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
user_data (object or None) – data to pass to the callback function

Asynchronously requests the D-Bus service to delete the key files for source and all of its descendants and broadcast their removal to all clients. The source must be EDataServer.Source :removable.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call EDataServer.Source.remove_finish() to get the result of the operation.

New in version 3.6.

do_remove_finish(result) virtual¶

Parameters:: result (Gio.AsyncResult) – a Gio.AsyncResult
Returns:: True on success, False of failure
Return type:: bool

Finishes the operation started with EDataServer.Source.remove(). If an error occurred, the function will set error and return False.

New in version 3.6.

do_remove_sync(cancellable) virtual¶

Parameters:: cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None
Returns:: True on success, False on error
Return type:: bool

Requests the D-Bus service to delete the key files for source and all of its descendants and broadcast their removal to all clients. The source must be EDataServer.Source :removable.

If an error occurs, the functon will set error and return False.

New in version 3.6.

do_unset_last_credentials_required_arguments_impl(cancellable) virtual¶

Parameters:: cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) –
Return type:: bool

do_write(cancellable, callback, *user_data) virtual¶

Parameters:

cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None
callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – a Gio.AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
user_data (object or None) – data to pass to the callback function

Asynchronously submits the current contents of source to the D-Bus service to be written to disk and broadcast to other clients. The source must be EDataServer.Source :writable.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call EDataServer.Source.write_finish() to get the result of the operation.

New in version 3.6.

do_write_finish(result) virtual¶

Parameters:: result (Gio.AsyncResult) – a Gio.AsyncResult
Returns:: True on success, False on error
Return type:: bool

Finishes the operation started with EDataServer.Source.write(). If an error occurred, the function will set error and return False.

New in version 3.6.

do_write_sync(cancellable) virtual¶

Parameters:: cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – optional Gio.Cancellable object, or None
Returns:: True on success, False on error
Return type:: bool

Submits the current contents of source to the D-Bus service to be written to disk and broadcast to other clients. The source must be EDataServer.Source :writable.

If an error occurs, the functon will set error and return False.

New in version 3.6.

Signal Details¶

EDataServer.Source.signals.authenticate(source, credentials)¶

Signal Name:

authenticate

Flags:

RUN_LAST, NO_RECURSE

Parameters:

source (EDataServer.Source) – The object which received the signal
credentials (EDataServer.NamedParameters) – an EDataServer.NamedParameters with provided credentials

Let’s the backend know provided credentials to use to login to (possibly remote) data store.

EDataServer.Source.signals.changed(source)¶

Signal Name:: changed
Flags:: RUN_LAST, NO_RECURSE
Parameters:: source (EDataServer.Source) – The object which received the signal

The ::changed signal is emitted when a property in source or one of its extension objects changes. A common use for this signal is to notify a #GtkTreeModel containing data collected from EDataServer.Source s that it needs to update a row.

EDataServer.Source.signals.credentials_required(source, reason, certificate_pem, certificate_errors, error)¶

Signal Name:

credentials-required

Flags:

RUN_LAST, NO_RECURSE

Parameters:

source (EDataServer.Source) – The object which received the signal
reason (EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason) – an EDataServer.SourceCredentialsReason indicating why the credentials are requested
certificate_pem (str) – PEM-encoded secure connection certificate for failed SSL/TLS checks
certificate_errors (Gio.TlsCertificateFlags) – what failed with the SSL/TLS certificate
error (GLib.Error) – a text description of the error, if any

The ::credentials-required signal is emitted when the source requires credentials to connect to (possibly remote) data store. The credentials can be passed to the backend using EDataServer.Source.invoke_authenticate() function.
