It is a way for multiple applications to share a single configuration (in Emacs and in files) for user convenience. @insertcopying @menu * Overview:: Overview of the auth-source library. * Help for users:: * Help for developers:: * Index:: * Function Index:: * Variable Index:: @end menu @end ifnottex @node Overview @chapter Overview The auth-source library is simply a way for Emacs and Gnus, among others, to find the answer to the old burning question ``I have a server name and a port, what are my user name and password?'' The auth-source library actually supports more than just the user name (known as the login) or the password, but only those two are in use today in Emacs or Gnus. Similarly, the auth-source library can in theory support multiple storage formats, but currently it only understands the classic ``netrc'' format, examples of which you can see later in this document. @node Help for users @chapter Help for users ``Netrc'' files are a de facto standard. They look like this: @example machine @var{mymachine} login @var{myloginname} password @var{mypassword} port @var{myport} @end example The machine is the server (either a DNS name or an IP address). The port is optional. If it's missing, auth-source will assume any port is OK. Actually the port is a protocol name or a port number so you can have separate entries for port @var{143} and for protocol @var{imap} if you fancy that. Anyway, you can just omit the port if you don't need it. The login and password are simply your login credentials to the server. ``Netrc'' files are usually called @code{.authinfo} or @code{.netrc}; nowadays @code{.authinfo} seems to be more popular and the auth-source library encourages this confusion by making it the default, as you'll see later. If you have problems with the port, set @code{auth-source-debug} to @code{t} and see what port the library is checking in the @code{*Messages*} buffer. Ditto for any other problems, your first step is always to see what's being checked. The second step, of course, is to write a blog entry about it and wait for the answer in the comments. You can customize the variable @code{auth-sources}. The following may be needed if you are using an older version of Emacs or if the auth-source library is not loaded for some other reason. @lisp (require 'auth-source) ;; probably not necessary (customize-variable 'auth-sources) ;; optional, do it once @end lisp @defvar auth-sources The @code{auth-sources} variable tells the auth-source library where your netrc files live for a particular host and protocol. While you can get fancy, the default and simplest configuration is: @lisp (setq auth-sources '((:source "~/.authinfo.gpg" :host t :protocol t))) @end lisp This says ``for any host and any protocol, use just that one file.'' Sweet simplicity. In fact, this is already the default, so unless you want to move your netrc file, it will just work if you have that file. You may not, though, so make sure it exists. By adding multiple entries to @code{auth-sources} with a particular host or protocol, you can have specific netrc files for that host or protocol. Usually this is unnecessary but may make sense if you have shared netrc files or some other unusual setup (90% of Emacs users have unusual setups and the remaining 10% are @emph{really} unusual). @end defvar If you don't customize @code{auth-sources}, you'll have to live with the defaults: any host and any port are looked up in the netrc file @code{~/.authinfo.gpg}. This is an encrypted file if and only if you set up EPA, which is strongly recommended. @lisp (require 'epa-file) (epa-file-enable) ;;; VERY important if you want symmetric encryption ;;; irrelevant if you don't (setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption t) @end lisp The simplest working netrc line example is one without a port. @example machine YOURMACHINE login YOU password YOURPASSWORD @end example This will match any authentication port. Simple, right? But what if there's a SMTP server on port 433 of that machine that needs a different password from the IMAP server? @example machine YOURMACHINE login YOU password SMTPPASSWORD port 433 machine YOURMACHINE login YOU password GENERALPASSWORD @end example For url-auth authentication (HTTP/HTTPS), you need to put this in your netrc file: @example machine yourmachine.com:80 port http login testuser password testpass @end example This will match any realm and authentication method (basic or digest) over HTTP. HTTPS is set up similarly. If you want finer controls, explore the url-auth source code and variables. For Tramp authentication, use: @example machine yourmachine.com port scp login testuser password testpass @end example Note that the port denotes the Tramp connection method. When you don't use a port entry, you match any Tramp method, as explained earlier. Since Tramp has about 88 connection methods, this may be necessary if you have an unusual (see earlier comment on those) setup. @node Help for developers @chapter Help for developers The auth-source library only has one function for external use. @defun auth-source-user-or-password mode host port Retrieve appropriate authentication tokens, determined by @var{mode}, for host @var{host} and @var{port}. If @code{auth-source-debug} is t, debugging messages will be printed. Set @code{auth-source-debug} to a function to use that function for logging. The parameters passed will be the same that the @code{message} function takes, that is, a string formatting spec and optional parameters. If @var{mode} is a list of strings, the function will return a list of strings or @code{nil} objects (thus you can avoid parsing the netrc file more than once). If it's a string, the function will return a string or a @code{nil} object. Currently only the modes ``login'' and ``password'' are recognized but more may be added in the future. @var{host} is a string containing the host name. @var{port} contains the protocol name (e.g. ``imap'') or a port number. It must be a string, corresponding to the port in the users' netrc files. @example ;; IMAP example (setq auth (auth-source-user-or-password '("login" "password") "anyhostnamehere" "imap")) (nth 0 auth) ; the login name (nth 1 auth) ; the password @end example @end defun @node Index @chapter Index @printindex cp @node Function Index @chapter Function Index @printindex fn @node Variable Index @chapter Variable Index @printindex vr @bye @c End: @ignore arch-tag: 7b835fd3-473f-40fc-9776-1c4e49d26c94 @end ignore
