Request for documentation regarding the "service" parameter #658

Closed wpd closed 9 months ago

wpd commented 9 months ago

I apologize for opening this as an issue, but can you please point me at documentation for how the service parameter is used in the API. The examples I see, specify that as "system". Is that the best/only option available to me? What does "system" specify with regard to the keyring? What other options might I choose?

Thank you.

I think "system" or "service" are used interchangeably. They refer to the system or service that is pertinent to the credential being stored (e.g. hostname or company or URL). You can use the value however you want; it's generally an opaque string.
