NAME

File::KeePass::Agent - Application agent for working with File::KeePass objects

SYNOPSIS

   use File::KeePass::Agent;
   File::KeePass::Agent->new->run($file, $pass);


   File::KeePass::Agent->new->run;  # will read from @ARGV or prompt


   File::KeePass::Agent::run();  # will read from @ARGV or prompt


   File::KeePass::Agent::run(\%files);  # file/pass pairs


   File::KeePass::Agent::run(\@files);

   File::KeePass::Agent::run(\@files, \@passes);  # parallel arrays

You may pass the name of the keepass filename that you would like to open. Otherwise you are prompted for the file to open.

You are then prompted for the password and/or the keyfile that will be used to open the file.

See File::KeePass for a listing of what KeyPass database features are currently handled.

OS

File::KeePass::Agent (FKPA) will try to load a module based on the OS returned by the $^O variable. OS support during the initial releases is very sparse.

FKPA OS API

The unix module variant contains documentation about what methods are necessary to support the FKPA api.

See "FKPA METHODS" in File::KeePass::Agent::unix.

METHODS

"new": Returns an object blessed into the FKPA class.
"run": Reads the file, password, prints out a summary of the database, and binds any shortcut keys. Eventually, this will most likely support more maintenance features.
"keepass": Returns an arrayref of arrayrefs continaing file and File::KeePass object pairs.
"shortcut_name": Returns a human readable name from a shortcut hashref.
"active_entries": Finds current active entries from any of the open databases.
"active_searches": Parses the active searches and returns a listing of qr matches/auto-type string/entry records.
"search_auto_type": Takes an window title and compares it against the current active searches.
"do_no_match": Called if search_auto_type didn't find a matching window.
"do_auto_type": Called if search_auto_type found a single match.
"do_auto_type_mult": Called if search_auto_type found multiple matching windows.
"do_auto_type_unsupported": Called when FKPA doesn't support an auto-type directive.

GLOBAL SHORTCUTS

FKPA will read for the current global shortcut listed in the keepassx configuration file. At the moment this must first be configured using keepassx itself. Future support will allow for configuring this through FKPA itself.

If this global shortcut is defined, when pressed it will call search_auto_type to find entries matching against the current window title. If found, it will auto-type the matching entry.

Additionally, custom global shortcuts may defined in the comments section of the FKP database entries. They have the form:

   Custom-Global-Shortcut: Ctrl-Alt-Shift w

This allows for individual entry auto-typing to be called directly.

AUTOTYPE SUPPORT

Version 2 databases natively support auto-type entries. Comment sections of version 1 database entries may contain Auto-type entries in the following form:

    Auto-Type-Window: Admin Login*
    Auto-Type-Window: Login*
    Auto-Type: {USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}

The Auto-Type-Window items are used to match against window titles. You may put a leading * and/or a trailing * on the item to allow for wildcard matching.

If a window matches an Auto-Type-Window entry the corresponding Auto-Type item will be processed and "auto-typed" to the current window.

Currently the following auto-type directives are supported:

"USERNAME": The username for the entry.
"PASSWORD": The password for the entry.
"URL": The URL for the entry.
"...": All properties of the entry may be accessed.
"TAB": The tab character.
"ENTER": The enter character.

STATUS

This module and program are proof of concept. They work, but are limited in their feature set. There currently are no managment capabilities.
