NetworkManager is based on a concept of connection profiles, sometimes referred to as
|
|
connections only. These connection profiles contain a network configuration. When
|
|
NetworkManager activates a connection profile on a network device the configuration will
|
|
be applied and an active network connection will be established. Users are free to create
|
|
as many connection profiles as they see fit. Thus they are flexible in having various network
|
|
configurations for different networking needs. The connection profiles are handled by
|
|
NetworkManager via <emphasis>settings service</emphasis> and are exported on D-Bus
|
|
(<emphasis>/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/<num></emphasis> objects).
|
|
The conceptual objects can be described as follows:
|
|
<variablelist>
|
|
<varlistentry>
|
|
<term>Connection (profile)</term>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>
|
|
A specific, encapsulated, independent group of settings describing
|
|
all the configuration required to connect to a specific network.
|
|
It is referred to by a unique identifier called the UUID. A connection
|
|
is tied to a one specific device type, but not necessarily a specific
|
|
hardware device. It is composed of one or more <emphasis>Settings</emphasis>
|
|
objects.

<listitem>

<para>
|
|
A group of related key/value pairs describing a specific piece of a
|
|
<emphasis>Connection (profile)</emphasis>. Settings keys and allowed values are
|
|
described in the tables below. Keys are also referred to as properties.
|
|
Developers can find the setting objects and their properties in the libnm-core
|
|
sources. Look for the <function>*_class_init</function> functions near the bottom
|
|
of each setting source file.

<para>

|
The settings and properties shown in tables below list all available connection
|
|
configuration options. However, note that not all settings are applicable to all
|
|
connection types. NetworkManager provides a command-line tool <emphasis>nmcli</emphasis>
|
|
that allows direct configuration of the settings and properties according to a connection
|
|
profile type. <emphasis>nmcli</emphasis> connection editor has also a built-in
|
|
<emphasis>describe</emphasis> command that can display description of particular settings
|
|
and properties of this page.

<para>
|
|
Each password or secret property in a setting has an associated <emphasis>flags</emphasis> property
|
|
that describes how to handle that secret. The <emphasis>flags</emphasis> property is a bitfield
|
|
that contains zero or more of the following values logically OR-ed together.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>0x0 (none) - the system is responsible for providing and storing this secret. This
|
|
may be required so that secrets are already available before the user logs in.
|
|
It also commonly means that the secret will be stored in plain text on disk, accessible
|
|
to root only. For example via the keyfile settings plugin as described in the "PLUGINS" section
|
|
in <link linkend='NetworkManager.conf'><citerefentry><refentrytitle>NetworkManager.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry></link>.

<listitem>

<para>0x1 (agent-owned) - a user-session secret agent is responsible for providing and storing
|
|
this secret; when it is required, agents will be asked to provide it.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>0x2 (not-saved) - 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.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>0x4 (not-required) - 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.</para>
