NAME

6       goa-daemon - GNOME Online Accounts Daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       goa-daemon [--help] [--replace]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The goa-daemon program provides the org.gnome.OnlineAccounts name on
13       the session message bus. Users or administrators should never need to
14       start this daemon as it will be automatically started by dbus-daemon(1)
15       whenever an application sends a D-Bus message to the
16       org.gnome.OnlineAccounts name on the session bus.
17

CONFIGURATION FILE

19       The goa-daemon program stores configuration in the
20       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/goa-1.0/accounts.conf (typically
21       ~/.config/goa-1.0/accounts.conf) file. The format of this file is
22       private and 3rd party programs or libraries should never read it. This
23       file does not contain any passwords or secrets.
24
25       See the XDG Base Directory Specification[1] for more information about
26       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
27

SECRETS

29       The goa-daemon program stores secrets (such as OAuth tokens) in GNOME
30       Keyring[2]. The format of the stored secrets is private and 3rd party
31       programs or libraries should never read, modify or delete these
32       secrets.
