If you have problems with the search, set @code{auth-source-debug} to
@code{'trivia} and see what host, port, and user the library is
-checking in the @samp{*Messages*} buffer. Ditto for any other
+checking in the @file{*Messages*} buffer. Ditto for any other
problems, your first step is always to see what's being checked. The
second step, of course, is to write a blog entry about it and wait for
the answer in the comments.
(setq auth-sources '((:source "~/.authinfo.gpg")))
;;; even shorter and the @emph{default}:
(setq auth-sources '("~/.authinfo.gpg" "~/.authinfo" "~/.netrc"))
-;;; use the Secrets API @var{Login} collection (@pxref{Secret Service API})
+;;; use the Secrets API @var{Login} collection
+;;; (@pxref{Secret Service API})
(setq auth-sources '("secrets:Login"))
@end lisp
Here's a mixed example using two sources:
@lisp
-(setq auth-sources '((:source (:secrets default) :host "myserver" :user "joe")
+(setq auth-sources '((:source (:secrets default)
+ :host "myserver" :user "joe")
"~/.authinfo.gpg"))
@end lisp
@defvar auth-source-debug
Set this variable to @code{'trivia} to see lots of output in
-@samp{*Messages*}, or set it to a function that behaves like
+@file{*Messages*}, or set it to a function that behaves like
@code{message} to do your own logging.
@end defvar
@node GnuPG and EasyPG Assistant Configuration
@appendix GnuPG and EasyPG Assistant Configuration
-If you don't customize @code{auth-sources}, the auth-source library
-reads @file{~/.authinfo.gpg}, which is a GnuPG encrypted file. Then
-it will check @file{~/.authinfo} but it's not recommended to use such
-an unencrypted file.
+If the @code{auth-sources} variable contains @file{~/.authinfo.gpg}
+before @file{~/.authinfo}, the auth-source library will try to
+read the GnuPG encrypted @file{.gpg} file first, before
+the unencrypted file.
In Emacs 23 or later there is an option @code{auto-encryption-mode} to
automatically decrypt @file{*.gpg} files. It is enabled by default.
To set up elisp passphrase cache, set
@code{epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption}.
