Hi all! One of the tasks I'm working on in Online Accounts is support for account plugins (those bits of code which are responsible to create/edit accounts for a specific provider, e.g. facebook) to be installed as click packages.
For security reasons, the Online Accounts (from now on, "OA") service will need to execute the plugins in a separate process, confined with the proper AppArmor profile (dictated by the click package). Such a process will be able to create/modify only the account it was requested to work on, and not others; so, for example, the account plugin for Facebook should not be able to change any setting on the Google account, and vice versa. On the other hand, the account plugin will need to have its window reparented on top of the OA window, so that it will not appear as a separate entity (see also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/TrustStoreAndSessions). I'm now facing the choice of how to implement all the above; my original idea was to execute the plugin with aa-exec-click, but before jumping on that solution I'd like to double check with a wider audience. I've been told that the content hub uses upstart-app-launch instead, so I wonder if I should use that instead (but that will only work if the plugins install a .desktop file, will it)?
