     'org.freedesktop.Flatpak.Authenticator:
      @short_description: Flatpak authenticator

      An authenticator is a dbus service that flatpak talks to in
      order to negotiate downloads of protected content. Each commit
      in the repository has a "token-type" value (either directly or
      from a default), and whenever this is non-zero flatpak assumes
      it will need to do some sort of authentication to download it.

      Each configured remote in the system has information about what
      authenticator to use for the remote, as well as some config
      options for it. The configuration contains the dbus name of the
      authenticator, which is activated on demand by dbus. This allows
      authenticators to be shipped with the system, or installed as
      flatpaks.

      The main operation that the authenticator supports is the
      RequestRefToken where you pass a set of references and the
      authenticator returns a HTTP bearer token (if any) to use for
      each ref. Flatpak will then use the returned tokens in all its
      http requests, and it is then up to the server to validate the
      tokens.

      The authenticator dbus calls are not regular dbus calls, but
      instead long running (cancellable) object implementing the
      AuthenticatorRequest interface. This is very similiar to how
      org.freedesktop.portal.Request work when its used in
      xdg-desktop-portal.

      Most of the details in how the tokens look, are created and
      validated and how the token-type is interpreted is up to the
      authenticator (in combination with the actual repo server). The
      system has been designed to be very generic.

      The D-Bus interface for the authenticator is supposed to be
      available on the given bus name at the object path
      /org/freedesktop/Flatpak/Authenticator.

      This documentation describes version 1 of this interface.

    <!--
        RequestRefTokens:
        @handle_token: A string that will be used as the last element of the @handle. Must be a valid
              object path element. See the #org.freedesktop.Flatpak.AuthenticatorRequest documentation for
              more information about the @handle.
        @authenticator_options: Data from the xa.authenticator-options key in the configuration for the remote, it is up to the authenticator to interpret this how it wants.
        @remote: The name of the remote we're pulling from.
        @remote_uri: The uri of the remote we're pulling from.
        @refs: An array of ref that flatpak wants to pull and info about each ref.
        @options: An extensible  dict with extra options.
        @parent_window: Identifier for the application window, see <link linkend="https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/portal-docs.html#parent_window">xdg-desktop-portal docs</link> for details on its format.
        @handle: Object path for the #org.freedesktop.Flatpak.AuthenticatorRequest object representing this call.

        Starts a request for resolving the tokens to use for @refs from the @remote (with uri @remote_uri).

        This is not a regular dbus call that blocks until the result is done, instead it creates
        a org.freedesktop.Flatpak.AuthenticatorRequest object representing the ongoing operation and
        returns an object path @handle to it. When the operation succeds the Response signal is emitted
        on the request with a response status and a dict with details.

        The @refs array elements are of type (ssia{sv}) where the items are:
        <simplelist>
          <member>s: The ref being pulled</member>
          <member>s: The exact commit being pulled</member>
          <member>i: The token-type of the commit</member>
          <member>a{sv}: Extra per-ref metadata, currenlty only has summary.* fields which are copied from the summary per-commit metadata.</member>
        </simplelist>

        On success (response 0) the returned details should have:
        <variablelist>
          <varlistentry>
            <term>tokens a{sas}</term>
            <listitem><para>
              A list of tokens (the first element of the struct), and the refs (the second).
            </para></listitem>
          </varlistentry>
        </variablelist>

        For other response types, see the #org.freedesktop.Flatpak.AuthenticatorRequest docs.

        Exactly how the authenticator decides on what token to use is up to each implementation, but typically it needs to talk to
        some kind of network service which in turn may need interaction such as login or entering credit card details.
        This can be done in two ways:

        The authenticator can use a native ui toolkit directly (as its running in the session). To make this work well the
        flatpak client can (if its has a UI) pass in the @parent_window argument, allowing the authenticator to open its
        dialog in a way that is correctly parented.

        Alternatively, if the interaction is web-based, then rather than showing a web browser itself it can emit
        the WebFlow signal on the request object, which lets the flatpak client show a webview embedded in its ui in a
        way that works best with its user interface.

        For simple user/password authentication (such as http basic authentication systems) there is also a BasicAuth signal
        that can be used to get the user to interactively authenticate. This kind of authentication is quite limited, but
        if used it can allow nice interactive authentication even in the command line case.

        Currently used keys in the @options argument:
        <variablelist>
          <varlistentry>
            <term>xa.oci-registry-uri s</term>
            <listitem><para>
              For OCI remotes this is extracted from the summary file and contains the uri to the OCI registry that
              contains the images.
            </para></listitem>
          </varlistentry>
          <varlistentry>
            <term>no-interation b</term>
            <listitem><para>
              If true, the authenticator should not do any interaction (and fail instead if it needs to). This can be enabled by
              clients that want to run in the background.
            </para></listitem>
          </varlistentry>

     'org.freedesktop.Flatpak.AuthenticatorRequest:
      @short_description: Ongoing authenticator request

      The AuthenticatorRequest interface is used by the #org.freedesktop.Flatpak.Authenticator interface. When a
      method is called, the reply includes a handle (i.e. object path)
      for a AuthenticatorRequest object, which will stay alive for the duration of the
      user interaction related to the method call.

      The authenticator indicates that a request interaction is over by
      emitting the #org.freedesktop.Flatpak.AuthenticatorRequest::Response signal on the
      Request object.

      The application can abort the interaction calling
      org.freedesktop.Flatpak.AuthenticatorRequest.Close() on the AuthenticatorRequest object.

      The object path of each request object will be of the form
       /org/freedesktop/Flatpak/Authenticator/request/SENDER/TOKEN,
      where SENDER is the callers unique name, with the initial ':' removed and
      all '.' replaced by '_', and TOKEN is a unique token that the caller provided
      with the handle_token argument. This lets applications subscribe to the
      Response signal before making the initial portal call, thereby avoiding a race condition.

        Close:

        Closes the authenticator request to which this object refers and ends all
        related user interaction (dialogs, webflows etc).

        A Response signal with the cancelled response will be emitted if the operation
        was cancelled. There is still a posibility of a race, so the operation might succeed
        or fail before processing the close request, so there is no guarantee that the
        operation will be cancelled.

        Webflow:
        @uri: The uri to show

        Emitted by the authenticator when it needs to do web-based interaction. The
        client handles this by showing the URI in a graphical web view. Typically the uri
        includes information about a final redirect to a localhost uri that will happen
        when the operation is finished allowing the authenticator to get the result of
        the operation. This is similar to how OAUTH2 webflows typically work.

        If at any point the user closes or otherwise dismisses the web view the client
        should call the org.freedesktop.Flatpak.AuthenticatorRequest.Close method to
        tell the authenticator that the operation is aborted.

        This is only useful for very simple authentication interaction, but this is still used (for
