description |
We talked about this in person in Prague.
Ideally a greeter could run as in the user's session and act as a lockscreen for the user as well as a way to authenticate/log-in as other users.
This would let us avoid running a whole other session for the greeter on the phone, which is memory intensive.
It might be easiest for unity8 if that API was still just liblightdm, just running in a special mode. But I'm not picky on how it's done.
There may be security questions around this. I asked Jamie and Tyler about it, I'll post any concerns from them. |
[Impact]
Ubuntu phone development requires in session greeter functionality to perform suitably. This functionality does not exist in current versions of LightDM.
[Test Case]
1. Install a session that supports in session greeter
2. Log into that session
3. Activate greeter functionality
Expected result:
It works
Observed result:
The functionality is not implemented.
[Regression Potential]
Some risk of changing existing behaviour, reduced by regression tests still passing. Functionality is only enabled for sessions that opt-in to this behaviour so additional security risks is limited to new sessions.
