Class Details¶

class Gio.TlsInteraction(**kwargs)¶

Bases:: GObject.Object
Abstract:: No
Structure:: Gio.TlsInteractionClass

Gio.TlsInteraction provides a mechanism for the TLS connection and database code to interact with the user. It can be used to ask the user for passwords.

To use a Gio.TlsInteraction with a TLS connection use Gio.TlsConnection.set_interaction().

Callers should instantiate a derived class that implements the various interaction methods to show the required dialogs.

Callers should use the ‘invoke’ functions like Gio.TlsInteraction.invoke_ask_password() to run interaction methods. These functions make sure that the interaction is invoked in the main loop and not in the current thread, if the current thread is not running the main loop.

Derived classes can choose to implement whichever interactions methods they’d like to support by overriding those virtual methods in their class initialization function. Any interactions not implemented will return Gio.TlsInteractionResult.UNHANDLED. If a derived class implements an async method, it must also implement the corresponding finish method.

New in version 2.30.

ask_password(password, cancellable)[source]¶

Parameters:

password (Gio.TlsPassword) – a Gio.TlsPassword object
cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – an optional Gio.Cancellable cancellation object

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

The status of the ask password interaction.

Return type:

Gio.TlsInteractionResult

Run synchronous interaction to ask the user for a password. In general, Gio.TlsInteraction.invoke_ask_password() should be used instead of this function.

Derived subclasses usually implement a password prompt, although they may also choose to provide a password from elsewhere. The password value will be filled in and then callback will be called. Alternatively the user may abort this password request, which will usually abort the TLS connection.

If the interaction is cancelled by the cancellation object, or by the user then Gio.TlsInteractionResult.FAILED will be returned with an error that contains a Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED error code. Certain implementations may not support immediate cancellation.

New in version 2.30.

ask_password_async(password, cancellable, callback, *user_data)[source]¶

Parameters:

password (Gio.TlsPassword) – a Gio.TlsPassword object
cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – an optional Gio.Cancellable cancellation object
callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – will be called when the interaction completes
user_data (object or None) – data to pass to the callback

Run asynchronous interaction to ask the user for a password. In general, Gio.TlsInteraction.invoke_ask_password() should be used instead of this function.

Derived subclasses usually implement a password prompt, although they may also choose to provide a password from elsewhere. The password value will be filled in and then callback will be called. Alternatively the user may abort this password request, which will usually abort the TLS connection.

If the interaction is cancelled by the cancellation object, or by the user then Gio.TlsInteractionResult.FAILED will be returned with an error that contains a Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED error code. Certain implementations may not support immediate cancellation.

Certain implementations may not support immediate cancellation.

New in version 2.30.

ask_password_finish(result)[source]¶

Parameters:: result (Gio.AsyncResult) – the result passed to the callback
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: The status of the ask password interaction.
Return type:: Gio.TlsInteractionResult

Complete an ask password user interaction request. This should be once the Gio.TlsInteraction.ask_password_async() completion callback is called.

If Gio.TlsInteractionResult.HANDLED is returned, then the Gio.TlsPassword passed to Gio.TlsInteraction.ask_password() will have its password filled in.

If the interaction is cancelled by the cancellation object, or by the user then Gio.TlsInteractionResult.FAILED will be returned with an error that contains a Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED error code.

New in version 2.30.

invoke_ask_password(password, cancellable)[source]¶

Parameters:

password (Gio.TlsPassword) – a Gio.TlsPassword object
cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – an optional Gio.Cancellable cancellation object

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

The status of the ask password interaction.

Return type:

Gio.TlsInteractionResult

Invoke the interaction to ask the user for a password. It invokes this interaction in the main loop, specifically the GLib.MainContext returned by GLib.MainContext.get_thread_default() when the interaction is created. This is called by called by Gio.TlsConnection or Gio.TlsDatabase to ask the user for a password.

Derived subclasses usually implement a password prompt, although they may also choose to provide a password from elsewhere. The password value will be filled in and then callback will be called. Alternatively the user may abort this password request, which will usually abort the TLS connection.

The implementation can either be a synchronous (eg: modal dialog) or an asynchronous one (eg: modeless dialog). This function will take care of calling which ever one correctly.

If the interaction is cancelled by the cancellation object, or by the user then Gio.TlsInteractionResult.FAILED will be returned with an error that contains a Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED error code. Certain implementations may not support immediate cancellation.

New in version 2.30.

invoke_request_certificate(connection, flags, cancellable)[source]¶

Parameters:

connection (Gio.TlsConnection) – a Gio.TlsConnection object
flags (Gio.TlsCertificateRequestFlags) – flags providing more information about the request
cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – an optional Gio.Cancellable cancellation object

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

The status of the certificate request interaction.

Return type:

Gio.TlsInteractionResult

Invoke the interaction to ask the user to choose a certificate to use with the connection. It invokes this interaction in the main loop, specifically the GLib.MainContext returned by GLib.MainContext.get_thread_default() when the interaction is created. This is called by called by Gio.TlsConnection when the peer requests a certificate during the handshake.

Derived subclasses usually implement a certificate selector, although they may also choose to provide a certificate from elsewhere. Alternatively the user may abort this certificate request, which may or may not abort the TLS connection.

The implementation can either be a synchronous (eg: modal dialog) or an asynchronous one (eg: modeless dialog). This function will take care of calling which ever one correctly.

If the interaction is cancelled by the cancellation object, or by the user then Gio.TlsInteractionResult.FAILED will be returned with an error that contains a Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED error code. Certain implementations may not support immediate cancellation.

New in version 2.40.

If Gio.TlsInteractionResult.HANDLED is returned, then the Gio.TlsConnection passed to Gio.TlsInteraction.request_certificate() will have had its Gio.TlsConnection :certificate filled in.

If the interaction is cancelled by the cancellation object, or by the user then Gio.TlsInteractionResult.FAILED will be returned with an error that contains a Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED error code. Certain implementations may not support immediate cancellation.
