After you launch a Linux VDA desktop session, if you are logging in for the first time, a Keyring prompt appears by default for you to provide a password. Every time when you log in, the Keyring prompt appears. You can still successfully log in by clicking Cancel in the Keyring dialog box, or you can disable the Keyring prompt if you want.

Instructions

Here are some Keyring prompts you might encounter in your RHEL 7.2 VDA or Ubuntu 16.04 VDA session:

You might disable Keyring prompts based on user identity or globally:

• An example of disabling Keyring prompts based on user identity:

 
$ cat ~/.config/goa-1.0/accounts.conf
[Account account_1453086621]
Provider=kerberos
Identity=user1@XD.LOCAL
PresentationIdentity=XD.LOCAL
Realm=XD.LOCAL
SessionId=6be198ae5c5f0d47b85a0b73569c579d
IsTemporary=false
TicketingEnabled=true
 
You might see a lot of accounts in the above .conf file. That’s the result of a Keyring bug. For more information, see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1609773.
In this case, set the last account’s IsTemporary to false.
 

• An example of disabling Keyring prompts globally:

According to the official documentation of GNOME, to disable Keyring prompts globally, you need to stop the GNOME Keyring daemon by setting the autostart desktop files and D-Bus services files:
# grep -r gnome-keyring-daemon /etc/xdg/autostart
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop:Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=ssh
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop:#Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=gpg
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.desktop:#Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=pkcs11
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-secrets.desktop:#Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=secrets
# grep -r gnome-keyring-daemon /usr/share/dbus-1/services/
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.secrets.service:#Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.keyring.service:#Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets
# grep -r gnome-software /etc/xdg/autostart/
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-software-service.desktop:#Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-software --gapplication-service
# vi /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/02-allow-colord.rules
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
   if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-device" ||
        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-profile" ||
        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.delete-device" ||
        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.delete-profile" ||
        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.modify-device" ||
        action.id == "org.freedesktop.color-manager.modify-profile") &&
       subject.isInGroup("domain users")) {
      return polkit.Result.YES;
   }
});
Set your files on the RHEL 7.2 VDA or Ubuntu 16.04 VDA according to the example above. Next time you log in to a Linux VDA session, there will be no GNOME Keyring prompt.
