I don't like the idea of exposing platform-specific authentication callbacks in the JavaHL API. IIUC, if you're using the command-line client in a headless terminal and want to use the Gnome keyring, you have to start the Gnome keyring daemon and unlock the keyring manually, e.g., as described here: http://superuser.com/questions/141036/use-of-gnome-keyring-daemon-without-x I don't see a good reason to have JavaHL behave differently. -- Brane
