NAME
goa-daemon - GNOME Online Accounts Daemon
SYNOPSIS
goa-daemon [--help] [--replace]
DESCRIPTION
The goa-daemon program provides the org.gnome.OnlineAccounts name on
the session message bus. Users or administrators should never need to
start this daemon as it will be automatically started by dbus-daemon(1)
whenever an application sends a D-Bus message to the
org.gnome.OnlineAccounts name on the session bus.
CONFIGURATION FILE
The goa-daemon program stores configuration in the
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/goa-1.0/accounts.conf (typically
~/.config/goa-1.0/accounts.conf) file. The format of this file is
private and 3rd party programs or libraries should never read it. This
file does not contain any passwords or secrets.
See the XDG Base Directory Specification[1] for more information about
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
SECRETS
The goa-daemon program stores secrets (such as OAuth tokens) in GNOME
Keyring[2]. The format of the stored secrets is private and 3rd party
programs or libraries should never read, modify or delete these
secrets.
