gdata_client_login_authorizer_new ()

GDataClientLoginAuthorizer *
gdata_client_login_authorizer_new (const gchar *client_id,
                                   GType service_type);

Creates a new GDataClientLoginAuthorizer. The client_id must be unique for your application, and as registered with Google.

The GDataAuthorizationDomains for the given service_type (i.e. as returned by gdata_service_get_authorization_domains()) are the ones the user will be logged in to using the provided username and password when gdata_client_login_authorizer_authenticate() is called. Note that the same username and password will be used for all domains.

                                GList *authorization_domains);

Creates a new GDataClientLoginAuthorizer. The client_id must be unique for your application, and as registered with Google. This function is intended to be used only when the default authorization domain list for a single GDataService, as used by gdata_client_login_authorizer_new(), isn't suitable. For example, this could be because the GDataClientLoginAuthorizer will be used with multiple GDataService subclasses, or because the client requires a specific set of authorization domains.

The specified GDataAuthorizationDomains are the ones the user will be logged in to using the provided username and password when gdata_client_login_authorizer_authenticate() is called. Note that the same username and password will be used for all domains.

                                GError **error);

Authenticates the GDataClientLoginAuthorizer with the Google Accounts service using username and password and authorizes it against all the service types passed to gdata_client_login_authorizer_new(); i.e. logs into the service with the given user account. username should be a full e-mail address (e.g. john.smith@gmail.com). If a full e-mail address is not given, username will have @gmail.com appended to create an e-mail address

If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned.

If the operation errors or is cancelled part-way through, gdata_authorizer_is_authorized_for_domain() is guaranteed to return FALSE for all GDataAuthorizationDomains, even if authentication has succeeded for some of them already.

A GDATA_CLIENT_LOGIN_AUTHORIZER_ERROR_BAD_AUTHENTICATION will be returned if authentication failed due to an incorrect username or password. Other GDataClientLoginAuthorizerError errors can be returned for other conditions.

If the service requires a CAPTCHA to be completed, the “captcha-challenge” signal will be emitted. The return value from a signal handler for the signal should be a newly allocated string containing the text from the image. If the text is NULL or empty, authentication will fail with a GDATA_CLIENT_LOGIN_AUTHORIZER_ERROR_CAPTCHA_REQUIRED error. Otherwise, authentication will be automatically and transparently restarted with the new CAPTCHA details.

A GDATA_SERVICE_ERROR_PROTOCOL_ERROR will be returned if the server's responses were invalid.

Authenticates the GDataClientLoginAuthorizer with the Google accounts service using the given username and password . self , username and password are all reffed/copied when this function is called, so can safely be freed after this function returns.

For more details, see gdata_client_login_authorizer_authenticate(), which is the synchronous version of this function.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call gdata_client_login_authorizer_authenticate_finish() to get the results of the operation.

const gchar *
gdata_client_login_authorizer_get_username
                               (GDataClientLoginAuthorizer *self);

Returns the username of the currently authenticated user, or NULL if nobody is authenticated.

It is not safe to call this while an authentication operation is ongoing.

Since: 0.9.0

gdata_client_login_authorizer_get_password ()

const gchar *
gdata_client_login_authorizer_get_password
                               (GDataClientLoginAuthorizer *self);

Returns the password of the currently authenticated user, or NULL if nobody is authenticated.

It is not safe to call this while an authentication operation is ongoing.

If libgdata is compiled with libgcr support, the password will be stored in non-pageable memory. Since this function doesn't return a copy of the password, the returned value is guaranteed to not hit disk. It's advised that any copies of the password made in client programs also use non-pageable memory.

The “password” property

  “password”                 gchar *

The user's account password for authentication.

This will only be set after authentication using gdata_client_login_authorizer_authenticate() is completed successfully. It will then be set to the password passed to gdata_client_login_authorizer_authenticate(), and a “notify” signal will be emitted. If authentication fails, it will be set to NULL.

If libgdata is compiled with libgcr support, the password will be stored in non-pageable memory. However, if it is retrieved using g_object_get() (or related functions) it will be copied to non-pageable memory and could end up being written to disk. Accessing the password using gdata_client_login_authorizer_get_password() will not perform any copies, and so maintains privacy.

This will only be set after authentication using gdata_client_login_authorizer_authenticate() is completed successfully.

The “captcha-challenge” signal is emitted during the authentication process if the authorizer requires a CAPTCHA to be completed.
