### NMSecretAgentOldGetSecretsFunc ()

    void
    (*NMSecretAgentOldGetSecretsFunc) (NMSecretAgentOld *agent,
                                       NMConnection *connection,
                                       GVariant *secrets,
                                       GError *error,
                                       gpointer user_data);

Called as a result of a request by NM to retrieve secrets. When the NMSecretAgentOld subclass has finished retrieving secrets and is ready to return them, or to return an error, this function should be called with those secrets or the error.

To easily create the dictionary to return the Wi-Fi PSK, you could do something like this:

    NMConnection *secrets;
    NMSettingWirelessSecurity *s_wsec;
    GVariant *secrets_dict;

    secrets = nm_simple_connection_new ();
    s_wsec = (NMSettingWirelessSecurity *) nm_setting_wireless_security_new ();
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (s_wsec),
                  NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_SECURITY_PSK, "my really cool PSK",
                  NULL);
    nm_connection_add_setting (secrets, NM_SETTING (s_wsec));
    secrets_dict = nm_connection_to_dbus (secrets, NM_CONNECTION_SERIALIZE_ALL);

    (call the NMSecretAgentOldGetSecretsFunc with secrets_dict)

    g_object_unref (secrets);
    g_variant_unref (secrets_dict);

#### Parameters

agent | the secret agent object |
connection | the connection for which secrets were requested, note that this object will be unrefed after the callback has returned, use `g_object_ref()`/`g_object_unref()` if you want to use this object after the callback has returned. | [transfer none]

secrets

the GVariant of type `NM_VARIANT_TYPE_CONNECTION` containing the requested secrets (as created by `nm_connection_to_dbus()` for example). Each key in `secrets` should be the name of a NMSetting object (like "802-11-wireless-security") and each value should be an `NM_VARIANT_TYPE_SETTING` variant. The sub-dicts map string:value, where the string is the setting property name (like "psk") and the value is the secret

error | if the secrets request failed, give a descriptive error here |
user_data | caller-specific data to be passed to the function |

### NMSecretAgentOldSaveSecretsFunc ()

                                        gpointer user_data);

Called as a result of a request by NM to save secrets. When the NMSecretAgentOld subclass has finished saving the secrets, this function should be called.

#### Parameters

agent | the secret agent object |
connection | the connection for which secrets were to be saved, note that this object will be unrefed after the callback has returned, use `g_object_ref()`/`g_object_unref()` if you want to use this object after the callback has returned. | [transfer none]
error | if the saving secrets failed, give a descriptive error here |
user_data | caller-specific data to be passed to the function |

## Types and Values

### NM_SECRET_AGENT_OLD_IDENTIFIER

    #define NM_SECRET_AGENT_OLD_IDENTIFIER          "identifier"

### NM_SECRET_AGENT_OLD_AUTO_REGISTER

    #define NM_SECRET_AGENT_OLD_AUTO_REGISTER       "auto-register"

### NM_SECRET_AGENT_OLD_REGISTERED

    #define NM_SECRET_AGENT_OLD_REGISTERED          "registered"

### NM_SECRET_AGENT_OLD_CAPABILITIES

    #define NM_SECRET_AGENT_OLD_CAPABILITIES        "capabilities"

### NMSecretAgentOld

    typedef struct _NMSecretAgentOld NMSecretAgentOld;

## Property Details

### The `“auto-register”` property

      “auto-register”            gboolean

If `TRUE` (the default), the agent will always be registered when NetworkManager is running; if NetworkManager exits and restarts, the agent will re-register itself automatically.

In particular, if this property is `TRUE` at construct time, then the agent will register itself with NetworkManager during construction/initialization, and initialization will fail with an error if the agent is unable to register itself.

If the property is `FALSE`, the agent will not automatically register with NetworkManager, and `nm_secret_agent_old_register()` or `nm_secret_agent_old_register_async()` must be called to register it.

Calling `nm_secret_agent_old_unregister()` will suppress auto-registration until `nm_secret_agent_old_register()` is called, which re-enables auto-registration. This ensures that the agent remains un-registered when you expect it to be unregistered.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: TRUE

### The `“capabilities”` property

      “capabilities”             NMSecretAgentCapabilities

A bitfield of `NMSecretAgentCapabilities`.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

### The `“identifier”` property

      “identifier”               gchar *

Identifies this agent; only one agent in each user session may use the same identifier. Identifier formatting follows the same rules as D-Bus bus names with the exception that the ':' character is not allowed. The valid set of characters is "A-Z[0-9]_-." and the identifier is limited in length to 255 characters with a minimum of 3 characters. An example valid identifier is 'org.gnome.nm-applet' (without quotes).

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Default value: NULL

### The `“registered”` property

      “registered”               gboolean

`TRUE` if the agent is registered with NetworkManager, `FALSE` if not.

Flags: Read

Default value: FALSE
