PINEntry
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
This is a collection of PIN or passphrase entry dialogs which
|
|
utilize the Assuan protocol as specified in the Libassuan manual.
|
|
|
|
There are programs for different toolkits available. For all GUIs it
|
|
is automatically detected which modules can be built, but it can also
|
|
be requested explicitly.

GUI OPTION DEPENDENCIES
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
GTK+ V2.0 --enable-pinentry-gtk2 Gimp Toolkit Library, Version 2.0
|
|
eg. libgtk-x11-2.0 and libglib-2.0
|
|
GNOME --enable-pinentry-gnome GNOME
|
|
Qt --enable-pinentry-qt Qt (> 4.4.0)
|
|
TQt --enable-pinentry-tqt Trinity Qt
|
|
Enlightenment --enable-pinentry-efl EFL (>= 1.18)
|
|
FLTK --enable-pinentry-fltk Fast Light Toolkit (>= 1.3)
|
|
Curses --enable-pinentry-curses Curses library, for example ncurses
|
|
TTY --enable-pinentry-tty Simple TTY version, no dependencies
|
|
|
|
The GTK+, GNOME, and Qt pinentries can fall back to curses mode. The
|
|
option to enable this is --enable-fallback-curses, but this is also
|
|
detected automatically in the same way --enable-pinentry-curses is.
|
|
The fallback to curses also works if --disable-pinentry-curses is
|
|
specified. So to disable linking to curses completely you have to
|
|
pass --disable-fallback-curses to the configure script as well.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
* To only build the GTK+ pinentry with curses support:
|
|
./configure --enable-pinentry-gtk2 --enable-fallback-curses \
|
|
--disable-pinentry-curses --disable-pinentry-qt
|
|
|
|
* To build the Qt pinentry, and the other pinentries if they are
|
|
supported:
|
|
./configure --enable-pinentry-qt
|
|
|
|
* To build everything that is supported (complete auto-detection):
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
Some of the code is taken from Robert Bihlmeyer's Quintuple-Agent.
|
|
For security reasons, all internationalization has been removed. The
|
|
client is expected to tell the PIN entry the text strings to be
|
|
displayed.

Curses Pinentry
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The curses pinentry supports colors if the terminal does. The colors
|
|
can be specified by the --colors=FG,BG,SO option, which sets the
|
|
foreground, background and standout colors respectively. The standout
|
|
color is used for error messages. Colors can be named by any of
|
|
"black", "red", "green", "yellow", "blue", "magenta", "cyan" and
|
|
"white". The foreground and standout color can be prefixed by
|
|
"bright-", "bright", "bold-" and "bold", and any of these prefixes has
|
|
the same effect of making the color bolder or brighter. Two special
|
|
color names are defined as well: "default" chooses the default color,
|
|
and "none" disables use of colors. The name "none" is only meaningful
|
|
for the standout color and in this case a reversed effect is used for
|
|
error messages. For the other colors, disabling colors means the same
|
|
as using the defaults. The default colors are as follows:
|
|
|
|
Foreground: Terminal default
|
|
Background: Terminal default
|
|
Standout: Bright red
|
|
|
|
Note that color support is limited by the capabilities of the display
|
|
terminal. Some color combinations can be very difficult to read, and
|
|
please know that colors are perceived differently by different people.
