Feature Request: Maps

[hadmut]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to fill credentials for Wifi and VPN networks into KDE's desktop wallet (Ubuntu/Kubuntu).

The first approach to use KDE's own kwallet-query fails due to a bug: kwallet-query can write the credentials, but not create the folder the credential belongs into.

Now I tried keyring, but keyring always stores passwords as passwords in the wallet, while Wifi and VPN passwords are – for some reason, probably by NetworkManager – not stored as passwords in the wallet, but as maps. Just open the KDE wallet manager after having set a VPN or Wifi password and have a look.

Would it be possible to extend keyring to also read and write these maps?

regards

NetworkManager historically used KWallet maps, but it will migrate to QtKeychain in Plasma 6.8 (scheduled for Oct). Maps support was recently added to QtKeychain for the migration, but once that's done, you'd be able to use it with the Secret Service backend, and bypass the legacy maps structure.

But if scheduled for Oct, Kubuntu 26.04 LTS will still be bound to maps for 2-5 years.
