Description Neal Gompa 2020-12-24 16:58:07 UTC 
SUMMARY
The Fedora Project provides accounts for accessing a number of contributor and user resources. This most notably includes our upcoming Matrix server (chat.fedoraproject.org). The login mechanism is GSSAPI/Kerberos, which browsers and other things that have GSSAPI integration can use to auto-login using the existing session (because the id.fedoraproject.org SSO gateway is GSSAPI-enabled).

It needs only to prompt for the FAS username and password, translate it to username@FEDORAPROJECT.ORG and set up the Kerberos login (offering to save the password as well).

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 33 (KDE Plasma)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This integration is present in GNOME already: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/-/issues/26

Super hacky PoC implementation at https://invent.kde.org/nicolasfella/kaccounts-fedora/

Needs porting to proper GSSAPI instead of calling kinit executable

I would also love to use such a feature.
