Dan Williams b6d2ae429f api: clarify expected agent behavior for GetSecrets and saving secrets
Agents are expected to save any new/updated secrets returned to
NetworkManager from a GetSecrets call, as it would be silly to return
those same secrets right back to the agent via SaveSecrets when the
agent is perfectly capable of saving the secrets itself without
round-tripping to NetworkManager and back.

<interface name="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.SecretAgent">
<tp:docstring>
Private D-Bus interface used by secret agents that store and provide
secrets to NetworkManager. If an agent provides secrets to
NetworkManager as part of connection creation, and the some of those
secrets are "agent owned" the agent should store those secrets
itself and should not expect its SaveSecrets() method to be called.
SaveSecrets() will be called eg if some program other than the
agent itself (like a connection editor) changes the secrets out of
band.
</tp:docstring>
<method name="GetSecrets">
<tp:docstring>
Retrieve and return stored secrets, if any, or request new
secrets from the agent's user. If user interaction is allowed
and the user enters new secrets, the agent is expected to save
the new secrets to persistent storage (if the secret's flags
include AGENT_OWNED) as NetworkManager will not send these
secrets back to the same agent via a SaveSecrets() call.

<tp:docstring>
Nested settings maps containing the connection for which
secrets are being requested. This may contain system-owned
secrets if the agent has successfully authenticated to
modify system network settings and the GetSecrets request
flags allow user interaction.

Object path of the connection for which secrets are being

Setting name for which secrets are being requested.

<arg name="hints" type="as" direction="in">
<tp:docstring>
Array of strings of key names in the requested setting for
which NetworkManager thinks a secrets may be required,
and/or well-known identifiers and data that may be useful
to the client in processing the secrets request. Note that
it's not always possible to determine which secret is
required, so in some cases no hints may be given. The Agent
should return any secrets it has, or that it thinks are
required, regardless of what hints NetworkManager sends
in this request.

<arg name="flags" type="u" direction="in" tp:type="NM_SECRET_AGENT_GET_SECRETS_FLAGS">
<tp:docstring>
Flags which modify the behavior of the secrets request.
If true, new secrets are assumed to be invalid or incorrect,
and the agent should ask the user for new secrets. If false,
existing secrets should be retrieved from storage and
returned without interrupting the user.
</tp:docstring>
</arg>
<arg name="secrets" type="a{sa{sv}}" direction="out" tp:type="String_String_Variant_Map_Map">

Nested settings maps containing secrets. Each setting MUST
contain at least the 'name' field, containing the name of
the setting, and one or more secrets.

<tp:flag suffix="NONE" value="0x0">
<tp:docstring>
No special behavior; by default no user interaction is allowed and
requests for secrets are fulfilled from persistent storage, or
if no secrets are available an error is returned.
</tp:docstring>
</tp:flag>
<tp:flag suffix="ALLOW_INTERACTION" value="0x1">
<tp:docstring>
Allows the request to interact with the user, possibly prompting
via UI for secrets if any are required, or if none are found in
persistent storage.
</tp:docstring>
</tp:flag>
<tp:flag suffix="REQUEST_NEW" value="0x2">
<tp:docstring>
Explicitly prompt for new secrets from the user. This flag
signals that NetworkManager thinks any existing secrets are
invalid or wrong. This flag implies that interaction is allowed.
</tp:docstring>
</tp:flag>
<tp:flag suffix="USER_REQUESTED" value="0x4">
<tp:docstring>
Set if the request was initiated by user-requested action via the
D-Bus interface, as opposed to automatically initiated by
NetworkManager in response to (for example) scan results or
carrier changes.
