Gio.TlsInteraction.prototype.invoke_ask_password

function invoke_ask_password(password: Gio.TlsPassword, cancellable: Gio.Cancellable): Gio.TlsInteractionResult {
    // Gjs wrapper for g_tls_interaction_invoke_ask_password()
}
  

Invoke the interaction to ask the user for a password. It invokes this interaction in the main loop, specifically the GLib.MainContext returned by GLib.main_context_get_thread_default when the interaction is created. This is called by called by Gio.TlsConnection or Gio.TlsDatabase to ask the user for a password.

Derived subclasses usually implement a password prompt, although they may also choose to provide a password from elsewhere. The password value will be filled in and then @callback will be called. Alternatively the user may abort this password request, which will usually abort the TLS connection.

The implementation can either be a synchronous (eg: modal dialog) or an asynchronous one (eg: modeless dialog). This function will take care of calling which ever one correctly.

If the interaction is cancelled by the cancellation object, or by the user then Gio.TlsInteractionResult.failed will be returned with an error that contains a Gio.IOErrorEnum.cancelled error code. Certain implementations may not support immediate cancellation.
