Hello. I have a question about the keystore_database file, located at /boot/home/config/settings/system/keystore/
I know that Haiku uses this file to store the credentials for the wireless connection. Besides this, Haiku uses this file for something else?
I ask because I was able to fix an issue with the wireless connection by deleting the keystore_database. However, I would like to know the potential risks, in case that I need to do it again.
Thanks!
It can be used for every software that wants to store keys. For example Quaternion (a matrix qt client) uses a qt library that is implemented on this Haiku api.
Instead of deleting it there ought to be a tool to delete just the key that is interfering with your setup, or better fixing the bug entirely.
You can add remove or delete keys with the command line tool, the problem is know their names before doing it. Try keystore --help in terminal. You may find some examples in old wifi threads.
I have a WIP native UI application for accessing keystore (like Apple’s Keychain access), but it doesn’t yet allow you to modify or delete the saved passwords, and I have not made it public yet. I’ll post a link to repo later today after uploading it to GitHub.
