nm-settings-keyfilenm-settings-keyfile — Description of keyfile settings plugin |
NetworkManager is based on the concept of connection profiles that contain network configuration (see nm-settings(5) for details). The profiles can be stored in various formats. NetworkManager uses plugins for reading and writing the data. The plugins can be configured in NetworkManager.conf(5).
The keyfile plugin is the generic plugin that supports all
the connection types and capabilities that NetworkManager has. It writes files
out in a .ini-style format in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/.
This plugin is always enabled and will automatically be used to store
any connections that are not supported by any other active plugin.
For security, it will ignore files that are readable or writable by any user
or group other than 'root' since private keys and passphrases may be stored
