[KDE] No wallet auto-login

[faos]

Plasma 5 supports auto-login (via PAM I guess?) into the wallet for quite a while now, however it doesn't work here in my install.

How do I enable it in tumbleweed?

PS:
Some blog post I found:

Notice that these are old and everything is upstreamed by now.

I do not really understand your question, and others may not either.

If you mean that you cannot login to a Plasma5 session without a password; I think that you may need to choose another Desktop Manager than sddm -- try kdm or lightdm
YaST → System /etc/sysconfig Editor → Desktop → Display manager → DISPLAYMANAGER

If you mean a passwordless login to KWallet then you can set the password to be blank (empty).

Then you may mean something else entirely.

I have set the kwallet password to the same as my login password.
This way plasma will "AUTOMAGICAL" unlock your wallet on login.

I know that KDE supports it and I experience it in other distributions (e.g Chakra).

It was at least mentioned in a release log / blog of plasma (which I still need to find), but you if you look at the blogs above you should get the gist of it.

If you mean a passwordless login to KWallet then you can set the password to be blank (empty).

It's not about pw-less (which is unsafe), but about auto-login, ie convenience to enter your password twice.

You did not mention whether you ha installed “pam_kwallet” and “socat”, which re referenced in yor blog links. they are in the Tumbleweed repository and yan be installed with YaST Software Manager.

OK, did a quick read through the links provided, followed by a

zypper se kwallet

, which returns

AFAICS the pam_kwallet package needs to be installed. I'll install it and see what happens. Didn't know this was even available, am not too impressed re. security, but hey, it's better than passwordless

Ok, I installed now pam_kwallet (which pulled in socat).

I noticed in Yast, that "gnome-keyring-pam" was already installed - in contrary to pam_kwallet. IMHO pam_kwallet should be a default dependency for plasma 5. How / Where can I report this?

Description of pam_kwallet:

pam_kwallet - A PAM Module for kwallet signing
This PAM module allows you to automatically open your kwallet when signing into your account.

Anyway unfortunately this didn't fix it yet for me, still asking for pwd.

I guess the problem is that I created the wallet before I installed pam_kwallet...
Any clues how to fix it?

pam-wallet may be considered a security leak so I doubt it will be installed by default.

But what about "gnome-keyring-pam"? Seems to me like applying double standards.

I tried a couple of the options from the link by Luca Beltrame ( KDE and openSUSE developper and packager BTW ), but none of them brought a working situation, I think though, it needs to be triggered somewhere,
