KDE Wallet
KDE Wallet Manager is a tool to manage the passwords on your KDE system. By using the KDE wallet subsystem it not only allows you to keep your own secrets but also to access and manage the passwords of every application that integrates with the KDE wallet.
Contents
Unlock KDE Wallet automatically on login
If your KDE Wallet password is the same as your username password, you can unlock your wallet automatically on login.
Install pam_kwallet-git from the AUR.
Then edit /etc/pam.d/kde
and add the two lines under their corresponding sections:
auth optional pam_kwallet.so kdehome=.kde4 session optional pam_kwallet.so
Example /etc/pam.d/kde
#%PAM-1.0 auth include system-login auth optional pam_kwallet.so kdehome=.kde4 account include system-login password include system-login session include system-login session optional pam_kwallet.so
After restarting your wallet should unlock automatically if your user password is the same as your Kwallet password and you use a login manager like KDM.
Using the KDE Wallet to store ssh keys
Install ksshaskpass from the official repositories.
Create the file ~/.kde4/Autostart/ssh-add.sh
with this content:
#!/bin/sh ssh-add </dev/null
Make it executable and run it:
$ chmod +x ~/.kde4/Autostart/ssh-add.sh $ ~/.kde4/Autostart/ssh-add.sh
You may also have to source the script that sets the SSH_ASKPASS
environment variable:
. /etc/profile.d/ksshaskpass.sh
It will ask for your password and unlock the your SSH keys.
