Hi, Dominique:
Some questions about WiNET multi-user requirements, thanks for your patience.
1. User A login and activates(turn on) WIFI, then connects to an AP A
successfully.
Then user B login:
1). Can user B disconnect the connection to AP A?
No. Only UserA can break its connection.
When UserA log off, connection to AP A must be broken.
2). Can user B deactivate(turn off) WiFi?
No. That is a force disconnect.
2. Since a user owns a wifi interface only if he has provided the credentials
to connect it, and credentials given by UserA to connect to the access point
should not be re-used by UserB to connect to this AP, therefore for a same WiFi
AP:
If firstly userA login and input passphrase to connect it successfully,
then userA disconnect it and logoff.
Then userB login and try to connect the same AP, userB must input
passphrase to connect it, right?
Yes. I would expect that you will store the passphrase somewhere in an
encrypted manner, so re entry is not required each time.
If yes, we don't think it make much sense after consulting ConnMan
upstream, below is the confusion from Patrik, who is upstream ConnMan
maintainer:
"Do notice that it makes absolutely no sense whatever for this kind of
convoluted use case. If userB does not know the passphrase, he's not supposed to
use the service anyway. If userB knows the passphrase and therefore is supposed to know
the passphrase and is allowed to use the service as a result, there's no point in
asking it as it was already provided by userA. So an existing service is either
allowed for userB or then not; re-asking the passphrase is not a meaningful task in this
context."
You have a valid point. this is why the security team is working on add
a privilege for enabling Network connection sharing -once established).
This isolation will come in a later phase. This is why the response is a
Yes.
Could you please help me to confirm the multi-user requirements above? Thanks
in advance.
We will update the wiki to make these points clearer.
