Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) Compiler: gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291] OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs Unfortunately kawalletmanager does not have a clean PAM support, it asks for a password that is used for symmetric encryption. I would like to ask for proper PAM support of kwalletmanager. The huge benefit would be the possibility to establish e.g. a single-sign-on with an openPGP card. An openPGP card can be used with "Poldi" to log into a KDE session. This works well and I tested it with KDE 4.2.0. But, it does not work with kwalletmanager due to the lack of PAM support. PAM support would greatly enhance the usability together with an openPGP-card: you log into KDE, type your PIN and you can now use all KDE applications that depend on kwalletmanager without the need to remember several passwords. All you need is an openPGP card and your personal PIN. More about Poldi here: http://www.g10code.de/de/p-poldi.html More about the openPGP-card: http://www.g10code.com/p-card.html Currently I use such a card for log into KDE and other stuff like "su -". PAM support for kwalletmanager would be nice. Thanks a lot for KDE4, it is great.
Hi Malte, thanks for your report. I think it's mostly the same as bug 92845. kwalletd currently lacks support for using anything but a password hash for encryption - although I'd love to implement PAM (and also smart-card support) at some point. Unfortunately I'm pretty short on time right now. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 92845 ***
