It provides a mechanism for software to react\r\nto changes of any of these items or of any of the metadata associated with\r\nthem. ConsoleKit2 also allows fast switching between open sessions on the\r\ncomputer.\r\n\r\nConsoleKit2 is a fork of ConsoleKit since it is no longer maintained.\r\nInformation on ConsoleKit can be found at:\r\nhttp://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ConsoleKit/ William Jon McCann was the\r\nprimary maintainer of ConsoleKit and most of this documentation was written by\r\nhim for ConsoleKit. It has been adapted for ConsoleKit2.\r\n\r\n## Defining the Problem\r\n\r\nA simple example is two users logging into a computer at the same time. They\r\nmay be sharing the same set of hardware for their graphical session, such as\r\nthe monitor, keyboard, and mouse. ConsoleKit2 will keep track of those\r\nresouces and which session is active and should have use of that hardware at a\r\ngiven time.\r\n\r\n## Relevant art\r\n\r\nLogind is a Linux daemon providing the similar functionality to ConsoleKit2.\r\n\r\n## Chapter 2. Terminology\r\n\r\n\r\n## Session\r\n\r\nA session is a collection of all processes that share knowledge of a secret.\r\nIn the typical (or ideal) case, these processes all originate from a single\r\ncommon ancestor.\r\n\r\nAs an implementation detail, for now, this secret should be stored in the\r\nprocess environment by the session leader under the name XDG_SESSION_COOKIE.\r\nWhen and if we are able to take advantage of a mechanism in the underlying\r\nsystem to store session registration information - we will. However, such a\r\nmechanism is not known at the present time.\r\n\r\nUsing an environment variable does have certain advantages. For one, it is\r\nquite easy for a process to opt-out of a Session by simply unsetting the\r\nXDG_SESSION_COOKIE variable.\r\n\r\nLimitations of using an environment variable implementation include not being\r\nable to strictly limit visibility of the secret to a particular process\r\nancestry. So, it is not possible to enforce session boundaries other than on a\r\nper-user basis. For example, we don't yet have a way to prevent a process from\r\nmoving between sessions owned by the same user.\r\n\r\n## Session leader\r\n\r\nThe session leader is the process that requests that a new session be opened.\r\nIt does this by connecting to the D-Bus system bus and using either\r\norg.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.OpenSession() or\r\norg.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.OpenSessionWithParameters(). The session\r\nthat it registers will remain open until the connection to the system bus is\r\nlost or it calls org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.CloseSession().\r\n\r\nThe session leader is the only process for which CloseSession() will be\r\nallowed.\r\n\r\n## Seat\r\n\r\nA seat is a collection of sessions and a set of hardware (usually at least a\r\nkeyboard and mouse). Only one session may be active on a seat at a time.\r\n\r\nAt the present time, all Sessions that are considered \"local\" to a system will\r\nbe added the the first Seat and every other Session will be added to its own\r\nSeat.\r\n\r\nTrue, hardware, multi-seat capabilities will be added in a later release.\r\n\r\n## Chapter 3. Design\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n## Session Lifecycle\r\n\r\nThe session leader process is responsible for asking ConsoleKit2 to open a new\r\nsession. In this respect, it is similar to the traditional POSIX user login\r\naccounting framework. In the typical case, the session leader is either an\r\nimmediate descendant of a login manager or the login manager itself. The\r\nleader makes a connection to the D-Bus system bus and asks ConsoleKit2 to open\r\na session. There are two methods available for opening a session:\r\norg.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.OpenSession() and\r\norg.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.OpenSessionWithParameters().\r\n\r\nIf the operation succeeds, a secret cookie will be returned to the session\r\nleader. The session leader should store this secret in the environment as\r\nXDG_SESSION_COOKIE so that it may be shared with its child processes.\r\n\r\nAt this point the session will be registered with ConsoleKit2 and a particular\r\nset of information about the session will be stored along with it.\r\n\r\nConsoleKit2 will decide, based on the information associated with the session,\r\nwhat Seat the session will be added to.\r\n\r\nIt will also be determined, based on the same set of information, whether the\r\nSession will control the hardware associated with the Seat. In other words,\r\nwhether the Session will be active for the Seat it is attached to. The exact\r\nmechanism for this determination depends on the type of Seat and the\r\ncapabilities of the host system.\r\n\r\nThe Session will remain open until the Session Leader disconnects from the\r\nD-Bus system bus or calls org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.CloseSession().\r\nThe session will be removed from its Seat, and deregistered.\r\n\r\n## Expected Usage\r\n\r\nUse of this service will usually follow one of the following patterns:\r\n\r\n### Text Login Manager\r\n\r\nThis pattern operates as the Session Leader for a new Session. This pattern\r\nneeds:\r\n\r\n 1. To open a new Session.\r\n 2. To set properties for the Session.\r\n 3. To maintain a connection to the D-Bus system bus.\r\n 4. To close the Session at logout.\r\n\r\n### Graphical Login Manager\r\n\r\nIn addition to the requirements for the Text Graphical Login Manager, this\r\npattern is typically used to show information about currently open sessions.\r\nIt needs:\r\n\r\n 1. To determine which Seat it is running on.\r\n 2. To know if the current seat supports session switching.\r\n 3. A list of all sessions on the current Seat.\r\n 4. To know which session is active for the current Seat.\r\n 5. To know when the session active state changes.\r\n 6. To know when sessions are added or removed.\r\n 7. Access to the metadata for any open Session.\r\n\r\n### System Daemon\r\n\r\nThis is generally a daemon process running outside of a user session as a\r\nspecial user. This pattern needs:\r\n\r\n 1. To know if any user sessions are open.\r\n 2. To know if the system is currently being used.\r\n\r\n### Hardware Abstraction Layer\r\n\r\nThis is a special case of System Daemon that provides catalogs and control\r\nmechanisms for hardware devices. In addition to the requirements of System\r\nDaemon, this pattern needs:\r\n\r\n 1. To determine what hardware is associated with a Seat.\r\n 2. To determine what Session is active and inactive on a particular Seat.\r\n 3. To know when the session active state changes.\r\n 4. To determine what Session a process belongs to.\r\n\r\n### Fast User Switching Agent\r\n\r\nThis is related to the Graphical Login Manager and provides a shortcut to\r\nsimilar functionality. It is usually a tool available in the user session that\r\nallows one to quickly switch to another user session. This pattern needs:\r\n\r\n 1. To determine which session it is running in.\r\n 2. To determine which Seat it is running on.\r\n 3. To know if the current seat supports session switching.\r\n 4. A list of all sessions on the current Seat.\r\n 5. Which session is active for the current Seat.\r\n 6. To know when the session active state changes.\r\n 7. Access to the metadata for any open Session.\r\n 8. To know when sessions are added or removed.\r\n\r\n### Session Daemon (aka Policy Agent)\r\n\r\nThis is typically a daemon running in a user session that acts on policy only\r\nwhen the session is active. This pattern needs:\r\n\r\n 1. To determine which session it is running in.\r\n 2. To know when the session active state changes.\r\n\r\n### Session Application\r\n\r\nThis is typically an application running in a user session that may alter its\r\nbehavior when the session active state changes. This pattern needs:\r\n\r\n 1. To determine which session it is running in.\r\n 2. To know when the session active state changes.\r\n\r\n# Part II.
