49 <title>Network Configuration Setting Specification</title>
51 This part documents the properties and value types of each "Setting"
52 object that composes the basic unit of NetworkManager configuration,
53 the "Connection". Each Connection object is simply a dictionary mapping
54 setting names (like "802-3-ethernet" or "bluetooth") to a dictionary of
55 key/value pairs that represents each itself.

62 (NetworkManager was built without full introspection support. Setting
63 documentation is not available.)
68 <section id="secrets-flags">
69 <title>Secret flag types</title>
71 Each secret property in a setting has an associated "flags" property
72 that describes how to handle that secret. The "flags" property is a
73 bitfield that contains zero or more of the following values logically
79 <literal>0x0 (none)</literal> - the system is responsible for providing
80 and storing this secret.
83 <literal>0x1 (agent-owned)</literal> - a user-session secret agent
84 is responsible for providing and storing this secret; when it is
85 required, agents will be asked to provide it.
88 <literal>0x2 (not-saved)</literal> - this secret should not be saved
89 but should be requested from the user each time it is required. This
90 flag should be used for One-Time-Pad secrets, PIN codes from
91 hardware tokens, or if the user simply does not want to save the
95 <literal>0x4 (not-required)</literal> - in some situations it cannot
96 be automatically determined that a secret is required or not. This
97 flag hints that the secret is not required and should not be
98 requested from the user.
