Just do understand your use case from a high level, do you want to be able to set a credential with another app and read it with an app using go-keyring? Can you elaborate on the use case you have in mind?
Yes, you got it right.
I need to access the credentials set by the main application (not using go-keyring
) with an external tool that uses go-keyring
.
Sadly, the behaviour described before makes it impossible.
Hi, I've found an issue while retrieving credentials set in the Windows Credential Manager by another application (not using
go-keyring
).Let's take this scenario, the main application sets a new credential to a specific service and username:
serviceName = service:name
username = $YOUR_USERNAME
When trying to call
keyring.Get("service:name","$YOUR_USERNAME")
, the searched service name is created mergingserviceName
andusername
(searchedServiceName = service:name:$YOUR_USERNAME
), this behaviour is implemented in the functioncredName
.This problem is the same also with
keyring.Delete
andkeyring.Set
.Since changing this behavior would break every windows application using this library, I'd propose:
RawGet
,RawSet
andRawDelete
) that skips this behaviour on Windows (on other systems this would be a proxy to the original calls)NOOP
)I'm open to work on this as soon as a decision is taken. Thanks 😄
