These connection profiles contain a network configuration. When + NetworkManager activates a connection profile on a network device the configuration will + be applied and an active network connection will be established. Users are free to create + as many connection profiles as they see fit. Thus they are flexible in having various network + configurations for different networking needs. The connection profiles are handled by + NetworkManager via <emphasis>settings service</emphasis> and are exported on D-Bus + (<emphasis>/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/<num></emphasis> objects). + The conceptual objects can be described as follows: + <variablelist> + <varlistentry> + <term>Connection (profile)</term> + <listitem> + <para> + A specific, encapsulated, independent group of settings describing + all the configuration required to connect to a specific network. + It is referred to by a unique identifier called the UUID. A connection + is tied to a one specific device type, but not necessarily a specific + hardware device. It is composed of one or more <emphasis>Settings</emphasis> + objects. + </para> + </listitem> + </varlistentry> + </variablelist> + <variablelist> + <varlistentry> + <term>Setting</term> + <listitem> + <para> + A group of related key/value pairs describing a specific piece of a + <emphasis>Connection (profile)</emphasis>. Settings keys and allowed values are + described in the tables below. Keys are also referred to as properties. + Developers can find the setting objects and their properties in the libnm-core + sources. Look for the <function>*_class_init</function> functions near the bottom + of each setting source file. + </para> + </listitem> + </varlistentry> + </variablelist> + <variablelist> + <para> + The settings and properties shown in tables below list all available connection + configuration options. However, note that not all settings are applicable to all + connection types. NetworkManager provides a command-line tool <emphasis>nmcli</emphasis> + that allows direct configuration of the settings and properties according to a connection + profile type. <emphasis>nmcli</emphasis> connection editor has also a built-in + <emphasis>describe</emphasis> command that can display description of particular settings + and properties of this page. + </para> + </variablelist> + </para> + <xsl:apply-templates/> + <refsect2 id="secrets-flags"> + <title>Secret flag types:</title> + <para> + Each password or secret property in a setting has an associated <emphasis>flags</emphasis> property + that describes how to handle that secret.
