[I'm reporting this bug here, as this is what
http://syncevolution.org/support
seems to be recommending...]
Yep, right place.
BUG DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS
===========================================================
The --configure subcommand does not correctly set password (when run on PC).
syncevolution --configure \
--source-property type=calendar \
--source-property
evolutionsource="caldav://alain@www.hitchhiker.org.lu/caldav/caldav.php/alain/home/"
\
--source-property evolutionuser=alain \
--source-property evolutionpassword=hello \
--source-property sync=two-way n900 calendar
After this, the config file contains "databasePassword = -" instead of
"databasePassword = hello"
This is the expected behavior. "-" means "password stored in the (GNOME)
keyring".
If you absolutely want to store the password in the config, then use
"syncevolution --daemon=no" (*without* the "--keyring" parameter) -
that won't
use the keyring. The daemon however always uses the keyring. There is no way to
disable that.
If you merely want to verify that the right password was stored, then you'll
have to use a tool like "seahorse" to look at the content of the keyring.
Passwords are not read from the keyring when printing configs.
Does that explain the issue?
