Password Manager Daemon is a server that provides a way for applications to securely store and retrieve data at a centralized location. The data is stored in an XML file and clients connect and send commands to manipulate the data. It mimics a filesystem in many ways with commands to store, copy, move and delete elements. There are quite a few password managers around and pwmd is similar to most. The need for pwmd is that gnupg keys stored on a smartcard cannot be cached in gpg-agent and therefore each access to a datafile would require the smartcard present to decrypt it. Pwmd decrypts the datafile once and caches it in memory and has it's own cache expiration settings rather than using the gpg-agent cache. You may also find pwmd useful if you have a few applications that require the same credentials but hate having to update all those configuration files to reflect any changes. The data file can be edited once with a pwmd client and other clients can retrieve the updated shared info. Similar to how a symbolic link on a filesystem works. See the "Target Attribute" in the documentation for details. Some other features include: * Multi-threaded. More than one client may access the data at the same time * OpenPGP encrypted XML data files via GnuPG with smartcard support * Remote network connections via libpwmd over GnuTLS or SSH via a proxy * Configuration file which supports file specific settings including: cache expiration, passphrase file and more * Logging to file and/or syslog * Secure memory usage. Pwmd will zero out memory before freeing it and also has the option to lock the entire process in RAM to avoid swapping the data to virtual memory * Per file and element ACL's including connections over TLS Requirements: ------------- C99 compiler - http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc Has been tested to work. Others should work fine, too. libassuan - ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libassuan Protocol. Version 2.0.2 or later is required. Version 2.1.0 or later is recommended for UDS peer credential checking on OS's other than Linux. libgpg-error - http://www.gnupg.org Error handling. Version 1.18 or later is required. gpg-agent - http://www.gnupg.org Keypair generation, decryption and caching. Version 2.1.15 or later is required. pinentry - http://www.gnupg.org Normally required for passphrase retrieval from gpg-agent. libxml2 - http://xmlsoft.org Required for XML parsing and data manipulation. libgpgme - http://www.gnupg.org For data file crypto operations. Version 1.9.1 or later is required. libgcrypt - http://www.gnupg.org Cache encryption and hashing. Version 1.5.0 or later is required. libgnutls - http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/ For encrypted connections over a TCP network. Version 3.3.0 or later. Optional. Installation: ------------- ./configure && make install For TLS support, pass --enable-gnutls to ./configure. Typing 'pwmd' will start the server and wait for connections to ~/.pwmd/socket. Passing --allow-preset-passphrase to gpg-agent is recommended and gpg-agent option --allow-loopback-pinentry is required if using a keyfile or connecting over TLS. These options can be added to the gpg-agent.conf configuration file in the gnupg home directory (~/.pwmd/.gnupg). See the gpg-agent(1) manual page for details about these options and the pwmd documentation for details about the location of the GnuPG home directory. Connecting: ----------- Any program that can connect to a UNIX domain socket will work although using pwmc, a client included with libpwmd, is recommended: echo command | pwmc filename or interactively pwmc filename or socat UNIX-CONNECT:$HOME/.pwmd/socket - A much more user-friendly full featured client QPwmc is also available. It has a nice Qt GUI and is much easier to use. See https://gitlab.com/bjk/qpwmc/wikis for details. Please read pwmd.info manual for protocol commands, syntax and configuration details. A HTML version is also available in doc/pwmd.html. GIT Repository -------------- There is a public GIT repository available at Gitlab. Anonymous checkouts can be done by doing: git clone https://gitlab.com/bjk/pwmd or from the mirror: git clone git://repo.or.cz/pwmd.git The gitweb interface can be viewed at: https://gitlab.com/bjk/pwmd or http://repo.or.cz/w/pwmd.git Mailing lists ------------- For pwmd: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pwmd-devel And for libpwmd: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libpwmd-devel Issue tracker: -------------- Please send any bug reports, feature requests or patches to the issue tracker at Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/bjk/pwmd/issues.
