+ <title>D-Bus API Reference</title>
+ <para>
+ This part documents the D-Bus interface used to access the
+ NetworkManager daemon.

+ <chapter id="ref-settings">
+ <title>Network Configuration Setting Specification</title>
+ <para>
+ This part documents the properties and value types of each "Setting"
+ object that composes the basic unit of NetworkManager configuration,
+ the "Connection". Each Connection object is simply a dictionary mapping
+ setting names (like "wimax" or "bluetooth") to a dictionary of
+ key/value pairs that represents each itself.
+ </para>
+ <xi:include href="settings-spec.xml" />
+ <section id="secrets-flags">
+ <title>Secret flag types</title>
+ <para>
+ Each secret property in a setting has an associated "flags" property
+ that describes how to handle that secret. The "flags" property is a
+ bitfield that contains zero or more of the following values logically
+ OR-ed together.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <literal>0x0 (none)</literal> - the system is responsible for providing
+ and storing this secret.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <literal>0x1 (agent-owned)</literal> - a user-session secret agent
+ is responsible for providing and storing this secret; when it is
+ required, agents will be asked to provide it.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <literal>0x2 (not-saved)</literal> - this secret should not be saved
+ but should be requested from the user each time it is required. This
+ flag should be used for One-Time-Pad secrets, PIN codes from
+ hardware tokens, or if the user simply does not want to save the
+ secret.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <literal>0x4 (not-required)</literal> - in some situations it cannot
+ be automatically determined that a secret is required or not. This
+ flag hints that the secret is not required and should not be
+ requested from the user.
