| Re: [platform-core-dev] URL authentication in headless mode |
Thomas, I do not believe Eclipse provides such a mechanism, but I am 99.9% sure it is technically feasible... if you create your own plugin If I remember, the authentication is managed by an Authenticator Authenticator.setDefault (new MyAuthenticator ()); If we manage to register a headless authenticator first, we should be able to do what we want (meaning we have to code it...) Check UpdateManagerAuthenticator for a sample We may need to create our own bundle, that is executed first before any update code is executed ? Now, how do we access the keyring... The code may have changed, but I used to access the Keystore of the JVM...There may be some code around to show you Check org.eclipse.update.internal.security.JarVerifier So in a nutchell, create your osgi bundle, madify the ini to load your bundle first, in the start register your authenticator, and from there code how you want to retrieve the uid/passwd Does it help (somehow?)

The environment has access to the eclipse resource framework but not to any of the UI components. My question is, what capabilities can we reuse so that we avoid storing names and passwords in multiple places? Can we use the Eclipse keyring from headless mode? How is it accessed? Where do we find the API's?
