Interfaces
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager
Methods:
Get the list of network devices.
Returns
devices -
ao-
List of object paths of network devices known to the system.
Return the object path of the network device referenced by its IP
interface name. Note that some devices (usually modems) only have an
IP interface name when they are connected.
Parameters
iface -
s-
Interface name of the device to find.
Returns
device -
o-
Object path of the network device.
ActivateConnection (
o: connection, o: device, o: specific_object
) →
o
Activate a connection using the supplied device.
Parameters
connection -
o-
The connection to activate the devices with.
device -
o-
The object path of device to be activated for physical connections. This parameter is ignored for VPN connections, because the specific_object (if provided) specifies the device to use.
specific_object -
o-
The path of a connection-type-specific object this activation should use.
This parameter is currently ignored for wired and mobile broadband connections,
and the value of "/" should be used (ie, no specific object). For WiFi
connections, pass the object path of a specific AP from the card's scan
list, or "/" to pick and AP automatically. For VPN connections, pass
the object path of an ActiveConnection object that should serve as the
"base" connection (to which the VPN connections lifetime will be tied),
or pass "/" and NM will automatically use the current default device.
Returns
active_connection -
o-
The path of the active connection object representing this active connection.
Possible errors
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Error.UnknownConnection-
Connection was not provided by the settings service.
(generic description)
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Error.UnknownDevice-
Unknown device.
(generic description)
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Error.ConnectionActivating- Another connection is already activating or the same connection is already active. FIXME: check if the error name is correct. FIXME: split into 2 errors?
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Error.ConnectionInvalid- The connection is invalid for this device.
AddAndActivateConnection (
a{sa{sv}}: connection, o: device, o: specific_object
) →
o, o
Adds a new connection using the given details (if any) as a template
(automatically filling in missing settings with the capabilities of the
given device and specific object), then activate the new connection.
Cannot be used for VPN connections at this time.
Parameters
connection -
a{sa{sv}}-
Connection settings and properties; if incomplete missing settings will
be automatically completed using the given device and specific object.
device -
o-
The object path of device to be activated using the given connection.
specific_object -
o-
The path of a connection-type-specific object this activation should use.
This parameter is currently ignored for wired and mobile broadband connections,

Sleep (
b: sleep
) →
nothing
Control the NetworkManager daemon's sleep state. When asleep, all
interfaces that it manages are deactivated. When awake, devices are
available to be activated. This command should not be called directly
by users or clients; it is intended for system suspend/resume tracking.
Parameters
sleep -
b-
Indicates whether the NetworkManager daemon should sleep or wake.
Enable (
b: enable
) →
nothing
Control whether overall networking is enabled or disabled. When
disabled, all interfaces that NM manages are deactivated. When enabled,
all managed interfaces are re-enabled and available to be activated.
This command should be used by clients that provide to users the ability
to enable/disable all networking.
Parameters
enable -
b-
If FALSE, indicates that all networking should be disabled. If TRUE,
indicates that NetworkManager should begin managing network devices.
Returns the permissions a caller has for various authenticated operations
that NetworkManager provides, like Enable/Disable networking, changing
WiFi, WWAN, and WiMAX state, etc.
Returns
permissions -
a{ss}-
Dictionary of available permissions and results. Each permission
is represented by a name (ie "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Foobar")
and each result is one of the following values: "yes" (the permission
is available), "auth" (the permission is available after a successful
authentication), or "no" (the permission is denied). Clients may use
these values in the UI to indicate the ability to perform certain
operations.

) →
nothing
Set logging verbosity and which operations are logged.
Parameters
level -
s-
One of [ERR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG].
domains -

Methods:
Register (
s: identifier
) →
nothing
Called by secret Agents to register their ability to provide and save
network secrets.
Parameters
identifier -
s-
Identifies this agent; only one agent in each user session may use the
same identifier. Identifier formatting follows the same rules as
D-Bus bus names with the exception that the ':' character is not
allowed. The valid set of characters is "[A-Z][a-z][0-9]_-." and the
identifier is limited in length to 255 characters with a minimum
of 3 characters. An example valid identifier is 'org.gnome.nm-applet'
(without quotes).
Called by secret Agents to notify NetworkManager that they will no
longer handle requests for network secrets. Agents are automatically
unregistered when they disconnect from D-Bus.
Interface has no signals.
Interface has no properties.
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.SecretAgent
Private D-Bus interface used by secret agents that store and provide
secrets to NetworkManager. If an agent provides secrets to
NetworkManager as part of connection creation, and the some of those
secrets are "agent owned" the agent should store those secrets
itself and should not expect its SaveSecrets() method to be called.
SaveSecrets() will be called eg if some program other than the
agent itself (like a connection editor) changes the secrets out of
band.
Methods:
GetSecrets (
a{sa{sv}}: connection, o: connection_path, s: setting_name, as: hints, u: flags
) →
a{sa{sv}}
Retrieve and return stored secrets, if any, or request new
secrets from the agent's user.
Parameters
connection -
a{sa{sv}}
(String_String_Variant_Map_Map)
-
Nested settings maps containing the connection for which
secrets are being requested. This may contain system-owned
secrets if the agent has successfully authenticated to
modify system network settings and the GetSecrets request
flags allow user interaction.
connection_path -
o-
Object path of the connection for which secrets are being
requested.
setting_name -
s-
Setting name for which secrets are being requested.
hints -
as-
Array of strings of key names in the requested setting for
which NetworkManager thinks a secrets may be required,
and/or well-known identifiers and data that may be useful
to the client in processing the secrets request. The Agent
should return any secrets it has, or that it thinks are
required, regardless of what hints NetworkManager sends
in this request.
flags -
u
(NM_SECRET_AGENT_GET_SECRETS_FLAGS)
-
Flags which modify the behavior of the secrets request.
If true, new secrets are assumed to be invalid or incorrect,
and the agent should ask the user for new secrets. If false,
existing secrets should be retrieved from storage and
returned without interrupting the user.
Returns
secrets -
a{sa{sv}}
(String_String_Variant_Map_Map)
-
Nested settings maps containing secrets. Each setting MUST
contain at least the 'name' field, containing the name of
the setting, and one or more secrets.
CancelGetSecrets (

) →
nothing
Cancel a pending GetSecrets request for secrets of the given
connection. Any matching request should be canceled.
Parameters
connection_path -
o-
Object path of the connection for which, if secrets are being
requested, the request should be canceled.
setting_name -
s-
Setting name for which secrets for this connection were
originally being requested.

a{sa{sv}}: connection, o: connection_path
) →
nothing
Save given secrets to backing storage.
Parameters
connection -
a{sa{sv}}
(String_String_Variant_Map_Map)
-
Nested settings maps containing the entire connection
(including secrets), for which the agent should save the
secrets to backing storage. This method will not be called
when the agent itself is the process creating or updating
a connection; in that case the agent is assumed to have
already saved those secrets since it had them already.
connection_path -
o-
Object path of the connection for which the agent should
save secrets to backing storage.
DeleteSecrets (
a{sa{sv}}: connection, o: connection_path
) →
nothing
Delete secrets from backing storage.
Parameters
