Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-keyring
Gnome keyring should support using a blank password, and not encrypting
the user's passwords. Yes, I know this is "insecure", except it's not,
in all cases.
My users use a centralized login system to log in. Their ~ is not
actually located on their local machine (NFS). We give the users a
single centralized password. There is *no* way we can synchronize their
gnome-keyring password with their network password, thus, having a
second password to remember is a real administrative issue. We want one
user password entered at login time, and never again.
In this case, it would be nice if gnome-keyring supported a "no
password" option, which perhaps just used a hard coded character or
something as the password and instead of being prompted for it, users
were promoted whether they wanted to grant an application access to
their keyring. No password required.
Enabling this option would be preferably done through gconf, so it can
be centrally administered.
