Create a Secret Service keyring backend

Description

This backend is the default on Linux. It uses the libsecret library, and needs a secret service daemon running (e.g. Gnome Keyring, or KWallet). It uses DBUS to communicate with the secret service daemon.

Usage

backend_secret_service

Format

An object of class R6ClassGenerator of length 24.

Details

This backend supports multiple keyrings.

See backend for the documentation of the individual methods. The is_available() method checks is a Secret Service daemon is running on the system, by trying to connect to it. It returns a logical scalar, or throws an error, depending on its argument:

is_available = function(report_error = FALSE)

Argument:

• report_error Whether to throw an error if the Secret Service is not available.
