It differs between address books and calendars for no good reason that I can see. I trust Milan or Chen will correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe address book backends have to call e_book_backend_notify_auth_required() if they require a password to connect, and then at some point later the password is provided through the EBookBackend.authenticate_user() method. Calendar clients are expected to provide a password up front, which backends receive through the ECalBackend.open() method. If a password was not provided or the password fails, the backend is supposed to call e_cal_backend_notify_auth_required() and then at some point later I guess the client opens a new connection with another password? The semantics of this are less clear to me than for address books, so I might be partially mistaken. As always your best bet is to look at what the other backends do. _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
