Re: [equinox-dev] Secure store in RCP application

[Oleg Besedin <obesedin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As Tom said, the error message means
that there are no password provider modules in your configuration. 

The information stored in the secure
storage (say, a CVS password) is encrypted with a "master" password.
The master password is retrieved from a "password provider module".
There are three password provider modules included in the SDK:

- the default UI module in the org.eclipse.equinox.security.ui
- the Windows-specific module in the
org.eclipse.equinox.security.win32.x86
- the Mac-specific module in the org.eclipse.equinox.security.macosx

As you use Swing, the default UI module
won't work for you. If you are preparing the RCP application for Windows
or Mac you can include the corresponding fragment in your RCP application.

Alternatively, you can provide your
own password provider module (see the extension point org.eclipse.equinox.security.secureStorage)
or use the "-eclipse.password" runtime option to specify the
file containing master password.

Thanks,
Oleg

Subject	[equinox-dev] Secure store in RCP application

Hi,

I'm trying to use Secure Store in my RCP application. This is quite  
unusual approach, because I'm running Java swing application from RCP-non
 
UI app to access functionality implemented in plug-ins I already have (and
 
which are part of different Eclipse app). One of those functionalities
is  
making use of Secure Store and it's working fine in the original plug-ins,
 
but not in my RCP app. The problem I have is that when I try to register
 
the password using default ISecurePreferences implementation I get this
 
error:

org.eclipse.equinox.security.storage.StorageException: No secure storage
 
modules found.

at  
eu.geclipse.core.auth.PasswordManager.registerPassword(PasswordManager.java:79)

The code which I'm registering this password with is:
   static public void registerPassword( final String pwuid, final
String pw  
) {
     ISecurePreferences securePreferences =  
SecurePreferencesFactory.getDefault();
     ISecurePreferences node = securePreferences.node( pwuid
);
     try {
       node.put( PasswordManager.PASSWORD, pw, true );
     } catch ( StorageException storageEx ) {
       storageEx.printStackTrace();
     }
   }

Do you have any idea why I get this error and what can be solution to this?
