gnome-keyring -daemon socket credentials not supported on this OS

[<Mark Bannister rbs com>]

Hi,

 

I'm having trouble getting gnome-keyring-daemon 2.28.2 to work on Solaris 10 x64.  I'm trying to get it up and running on a non-graphical server so that the CollabNet Subversion client can make use of it to encrypt svn user passwords.

 

When I try to start the gnome-keyring-daemon, I get the following messages:

 

$ gnome-keyring-daemon --components keyring,pkcs11 -f
GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET=/var/tmp/keyring-vTJviG/socket
GNOME_KEYRING_PID=13541
** Message: couldn't connect to dbus session bus: /opt/csw/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.

** Message: couldn't allocate secure memory to keep passwords and or keys from being written to the disk

The keyring_tool that comes with CollabNet Subversion reports:

 

$ keyring_tool --create=svn
Enter password for 'svn' keyring:
ERROR: Error communicating with gnome-keyring-daemon

Successive attempts to run keyring_tool result in a new error from gnome-keyring-daemon each time that reads:

I'm using Solaris 10 update 8 *without the GNOME desktop installed*.  Instead I've installed the following packages from OpenCSW (and their dependencies):

 

CSWgnomekeyring 2.28.2,REV=2010.03.05

CSWgnomekeyringmgr 2.14.0

CSWdbus 1.3.1,REV=2010.07.04

 

I also needed to run 'dbus-uuidgen --ensure' as root before I could get this far.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Best regards,

Mark.
