Bug#517562: gnome-keyring-daemon conflicts with libpam-ssh (KDE session)

[Wouter Van Hemel]

Package: gnome-keyring
Version: 2.22.3-2
Severity: normal


Hello,


gnome-keyring-daemon conflicts with libpam-ssh.

libpam-ssh adds a DSA key to ssh-agent after authenticating with its password in GDM (a form of SSO).

But once I'm up and running in KDE, gnome-keyring-daemon asks to unlock the DSA key when using ssh, ignoring the already unlocked key.

I don't want gnome-keyring-daemon to interfere with already loaded keys, so that libpam-ssh's single-sign-on works.

This whole mix-up with ssh-agent and gnome-keyring-daemon is rather messy. Where is this going? Is one of them deprecated?


In short, I want libpam-ssh SSO to work. I don't want users to type their password once more into or store it with gnome-keyring-daemon.



Thanks,

  Wouter


PS: Where is gnome-keyring-daemon started from actually? I don't see it in Xsession, GDM session or startkde.
