D-Bus Interface: Cached Objects

Related ticket(s):

Related design page(s):

This design document describes how objects can be marked as cached.

  • Allow tools like graphical user management to display a list of users who recently logged in.

  • /org/freedesktop/sssd/infopipe/Users

  • /org/freedesktop/sssd/infopipe/Groups

  • ao List()

  • ao ListByDomain(s:domain_name)

    • Returns list of objects that contains cached attribute.

None.

None.

  • /org/freedesktop/sssd/infopipe/Users/*

  • /org/freedesktop/sssd/infopipe/Groups/*

  • b Store()

  • b Remove()

    • Those methods will add/remove cached attributed to the object under path implementing this interface.

None.

None.

New sysdb attribute ifp_cached is created for users and groups objects. If this attribute is present, the object is considered to be cached on IFP D-Bus. The introspection of an object path /obj/path will report all cached objects in the subtree /obj/path/*.

Call the D-Bus methods and properties. For example with dbus-send tool. A cached object is supposed to appear in introspection.
