Secret Service not found in Docker Container

[xinyuxu1026]

Distro: AlmaLinux 8 container on top of Ubuntu 20.04 with privilege
secret-service version: 1.6.2
Error shows that

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: The secret service is not available.

Caused by: java.io.IOException: The secret service is not available.
	at org.freedesktop.secret.simple.SimpleCollection.init(SimpleCollection.java:277)
	at org.freedesktop.secret.simple.SimpleCollection.<init>(SimpleCollection.java:57)

The org.freedesktop.secrets.service and org.gnome.keyring.service exist.

ls /usr/share/dbus-1/services/
ca.desrt.dconf.service                  org.freedesktop.secrets.service            org.gnome.keyring.SystemPrompter.service

org.a11y.Bus.service                    org.gnome.keyring.PrivatePrompter.service  org.gtk.GLib.PACRunner.service

gnome-keyring is also running

ps aux | grep gnome-keyring

user    1517  0.0  0.0   9220  1204 ?        S    01:13   0:00 grep gnome-keyring

We also have some keyring related tests running successfully in the container.

Why is it complaining about the secret service is not available?
Is there any general advice about how to run this in container?

Thank you very much.

The java.io.IOException that hits you comes from the isAvailable() method returning false.

The method checks for certain services, registered on the bus, namely:

• org.freedesktop.DBus
• org.freedesktop.secrets
• org.gnome.keyring

As you have these, the method probably fails on encrypting the session, which is done next.

It's hard to tell, what javax.crypto or java.security parts are missing in your container.

Thank you! @purejava , do you know how to install those parts? and is there a way to check which part is missing?

No, I've never used Java inside a container.

According to the JavaDoc the javax.crypto implementation is provider-based.

Maybe another Java vendor works better?
