NAME

kwalletaskpass - kwallet-based pass-phrase dialog for use with OpenSSH

SYNOPSIS

[options ] label

DESCRIPTION

is a kwallet- and pinentry-based pass-phrase dialog for use with OpenSSH. It is intended to be called from the ssh-add1 programme and not invoked directly.

If a passphrase is requested, works by first looking up the passphrase in the KWallet by means of kwalletcli(1); using it if found, then calling kwalletcli_getpin1 to interactively retrieve an answer from the user via pinentry otherwise. If the user specifies a passphrase, kwalletcli_getpin1 is run again to ask if the passphrase should be stored in the KWallet. If a confirmation instead of a passphrase is requested, it is merely relayed to kwalletcli_getpin1.

There are currently no options.

RETURN VALUES

exits 0 on success, 1 if the user cancelled the dialogue, or >1 if an error occured.

ENVIRONMENT

PINENTRY
The pinentry programme to use. The default is inherited from kwalletcli_getpin1.

AUTHORS

was written by An Thorsten Glaser Aq tg@mirbsd.org mostly for tarent GmbH. The idea came from an askpass.C file found somewhere on the 'net, with no author information. Since it was licenced less freely, this is a rewrite from scratch; modular and with more functionality, too.
