[Jan Kupec <jkupec@xxxxxxx>]

So, after some discussions, current implementation looks like this:

credential file locations:
- global credential file /etc/zypp/credentials.cat 640(?)
- user credential file   ~/.zypp/credentials.cat 600
- custom credential file dir /etc/zypp/credentials.d
  the files will have 640 permission(?)

when adding repos, credentials can be specified in the URL:

- as username:password (http://username:password@xxxxxxx)
  this will be saved in global file (or should we ask user?)

- as ?credentials=credfile parameter
  (http://foo.org?credentials=credfile)

  filepath:
  - /absolute/path/credfile
    this particular file will be read
  - credfile
    $ZYPP_CRED_DIR/credfile will be read
  - path/credfile
    $ZYPP_CRED_DIR/credfile will be read
    (the leading path will be ignored)

where ZYPP_CRED_DIR=/etc/zypp/credentials.d by default

TODOs (next week probably)
- make the file locations configurable via zypp.conf
- add UI callbacks and implement methods for getting
  the credentials using these callbacks to ask user
  to provide the creds and where to save them
- if ?credentials file does not exist, call back to user
  to provide them and save in the file
- more comments in CredentialManager.h
