-<p><strong><em>afm-system-daemon</em></strong> takes its orders from the session instance of D-Bus. The use of D-Bus is great because it allows to implement discovery and signaling.</p>
-<p>The <strong>afm-system-daemon</strong> is listening with the destination name <strong><em>org.AGL.afm.system</em></strong> at the object of path <strong><em>/org/AGL/afm/system</em></strong> on the interface <strong><em>org.AGL.afm.system</em></strong> for the below detailed members <strong><em>install</em></strong> and <strong><em>uninstall</em></strong>.</p>
-<p>D-Bus is mainly used for signaling and discovery. Its optimized typed protocol is not used except for transmitting only one string in both directions.</p>
-<p>The client and the service are using JSON serialization to exchange data.</p>
-<p>The D-Bus interface is defined by:</p>

-</ul>
-<p>The signature of any member of the interface is <strong><em>string -> string</em></strong> for <strong><em>JSON -> JSON</em></strong>.</p>
-<p>This is the normal case. In case of error, the current implementation returns a dbus error that is a string.</p>
-<p>Here is an example using <em>dbus-send</em> to query data on installed applications.</p>

-<h3 id="maintaining-list-of-applications">Maintaining list of applications</h3>
-<p>At start <strong>afm-user-daemon</strong> scans the directories containing applications and load in memory a list of avaliable applications accessible by current user.</p>
-<p>When <strong>afm-system-daemon</strong> installs or removes an application. On success it sends the signal <em>org.AGL.afm.system.changed</em>. When receiving such a signal, <strong>afm-user-daemon</strong> rebuilds its applications list.</p>
-<p><strong>afm-user-daemon</strong> provides the data it collects about applications to its clients. Clients may either request the full list of avaliable applications or a more specific information about a given application.</p>
-<h3 id="launching-application">Launching application</h3>
-<p><strong>afm-user-daemon</strong> launches application. Its builds a secure environment for the application before starting it within a secured environment.</p>
-<p>Different kind of applications can be launched.</p>
-<p>This is set using a configuration file that describes how to launch an application of a given kind within a given mode.</p>
-<p>There is two launching modes: local or remote.</p>
-<p>Launching an application locally means that the application and its binder are launched together.</p>
-<p>Launching application remotely translates in only launching the application binder. The UI by itself has to be activated remotely by the requested (ie: HTML5 homescreen in a browser)</p>
-<p>Once launched, running instances of application receive a runid that identify them.</p>
-<h3 id="managing-instances-of-running-applications">Managing instances of running applications</h3>
-<p><strong>afm-user-daemon</strong> manages the list of applications that it launched.</p>
-<p>When owning the right permissions, a client can get the list of running instances and details about a specific running instance. It can also terminates, stops or continues a given application.</p>
-<h3 id="installing-and-uninstalling-applications">Installing and uninstalling applications</h3>
-<p>If the client own the right permissions, <strong>afm-user-daemon</strong> delegates that task to <strong>afm-system-daemon</strong>.</p>

-<p><strong>afm-user-daemon</strong> is launched as a <strong>systemd</strong> service attached to user sessions. Normally, the service file is located at /usr/lib/systemd/user/afm-user-daemon.service.</p>
-<p>The options for launching <strong>afm-user-daemon</strong> are:</p>
-<pre><code>-a

-<h2 id="launcher-configuration">Launcher Configuration</h2>
-<p>It contains rules for launching applications. When <strong>afm-user-daemon</strong> has to launch an application, it looks for launch mode (local or remote), as well as for the type of application describe in <strong><em>config.xml</em></strong> widget configuration file.</p>
-<p>This tuple mode+type allows to select the adequate rule.</p>
-<p>Configuration file is <strong>/etc/afm/afm-launch.conf</strong>.</p>
-<p>It contains sections and rules. It can also contain comments and empty lines to improve readability.</p>
-<p>The separators are space and tabulation, any other character should have a meaning.</p>
-<p>The format is line oriented. The new line character separate the lines.</p>
-<p>Lines having only separators are blank lines and ignored. Line having character #(sharp) at first position are comment lines and ignored.</p>
-<p>Lines not starting with a separator are different from lines starting with a separator character.</p>
-<p>The grammar of the configuration file is defined below:</p>
-<pre><code>CONF: *COMMENT *SECTION
-
-SECTION: MODE *RULE
-
-RULE: +TYPE VECTOR ?VECTOR
-
-MODE: 'mode' +SEP ('local' | 'remote') *SEP EOL

-NCHAR: CMT | CHAR</code></pre>
-<p>Here is a sample of configuration file for defining how to launch an application of types <em>application/x-executable</em>, <em>text/x-shellscript</em> and <em>text/html</em> in local mode:</p>
-<pre><code>mode local
-
-application/x-executable
-text/x-shellscript
- %r/%c

-text/html
- /usr/bin/afb-daemon --mode=local --readyfd=%R --alias=/icons:%I --port=%P --rootdir=%r --token=%S --sessiondir=%D/.afb-daemon
- /usr/bin/web-runtime http://localhost:%P/%c?token=%S</code></pre>
-<p>This shows that:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>within a section, several rules can be defined</li>
-<li>within a rule, several types can be defined</li>
-<li>within a rule, one or two vectors can be defined</li>
-<li>vectors are using %substitution</li>
-<li>launched binaries must be defined with their full path</li>
-</ul>
-<h3 id="mode-local">mode local</h3>
-<p>Within this mode, the launchers have either one or two description vectors. All of those vectors are treated as programs and are executed with 'execve' system call.</p>
-<p>The first vector is the leader vector and it defines the process group. The second vector (if any) is attached to the group defined by this first vector.</p>
-<h3 id="mode-remote">mode remote</h3>
-<p>Within this mode, the launchers have either one or two vectors describing them.</p>
-<p>The first vector is process as a program and is executed with system call 'execve'.</p>
-<p>The second vector (if any) defines a text that is returned to the caller. This mechanism can be used to return a uri for remote UI to connect on the newly launched application.</p>
-<p>The daemon <strong><em>afm-user-daemon</em></strong> allocates a port for each new remote application. The current implementation port allocation is incremental. A smarter (cacheable and discoverable) allocation should be defined.</p>
-<h3 id="substitutions">%substitutions</h3>
-<p>Vectors can include sequences of 2 characters that have a special meaning. These sequences are named <em>%substitution</em> because their first character is the percent sign (%) and because each occurrence of the sequence is replaced, at launch time, by the value associated to sequences.</p>
-<p>Here is the list of <em>%substitutions</em>:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><strong><em>%%</em></strong>: %.</li>
-</ul>
-<p>This simply emits the percent sign %</p>
-<ul>
-<li><strong><em>%a</em></strong>: appid</li>

-<h2 id="the-d-bus-interface">The D-Bus interface</h2>
-<h3 id="overview-of-the-dbus-interface">Overview of the dbus interface</h3>
-<p><strong><em>afm-user-daemon</em></strong> takes its orders from the session instance of D-Bus. D-Bus is nice to use in this context because it allows discovery and signaling.</p>
-<p>The dbus session is by default addressed by environment variable <strong><em>DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS</em></strong>. Using <strong>systemd</strong> variable <em>DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS</em> is automatically set for user sessions.</p>
-<p>The <strong>afm-user-daemon</strong> is listening on destination name <strong><em>org.AGL.afm.user</em></strong> at object path <strong><em>/org/AGL/afm/user</em></strong> on interface <strong><em>org.AGL.afm.user</em></strong> for following members: <strong><em>runnables</em></strong>, <strong><em>detail</em></strong>, <strong><em>start</em></strong>, <strong><em>terminate</em></strong>, <strong><em>stop</em></strong>, <strong><em>continue</em></strong>, <strong><em>runners</em></strong>, <strong><em>state</em></strong>, <strong><em>install</em></strong> and <strong><em>uninstall</em></strong>.</p>
-<p>D-Bus is mainly used for signaling and discovery. Its optimized typed protocol is not used except for transmission of standalone strings.</p>
-<p>Clients and Services are using JSON serialisation to exchange data.</p>
-<p>The D-Bus interface is defined by:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><p>DESTINATION: <strong>org.AGL.afm.user</strong></p></li>
-<li><p>PATH: <strong>/org/AGL/afm/user</strong></p></li>

-</ul>
-<p>The signature of any member of the interface is <strong><em>string -> string</em></strong> for <strong><em>JSON -> JSON</em></strong>.</p>
-<p>This is the normal case. In case of error, the current implementation returns a dbus error as a string.</p>
-<p>Here an example using <em>dbus-send</em> to query data on installed applications.</p>
-<pre><code>dbus-send --session --print-reply \
- --dest=org.AGL.afm.user \

-<h3 id="using-afm-util">Using <strong><em>afm-util</em></strong></h3>
-<p>The command line tool <strong><em>afm-util</em></strong> uses dbus-send to send orders to <strong>afm-user-daemon</strong>. This small scripts allows to send command to <strong><em>afm-user-daemon</em></strong> either interactively at shell prompt or scriptically.</p>
-<p>The syntax is simple: it accept a command and when requires attached arguments.</p>
-<p>Here is the summary of <strong><em>afm-util</em></strong>:</p>

-<h1 id="application-framework">Application framework</h1>
-<h2 id="foreword">Foreword</h2>
-<p>This document describes application framework fundamentals. FCF (Fully Conform to Specification) implementation is still under development. It may happen that current implementation somehow diverges with specifications.</p>
-<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>
-<p>The application framework on top of the security framework provides components to install and uninstall applications as well as to run them in a secured environment.</p>
-<p>The goal of the framework is to manage applications and hide security details to applications.</p>
-<p>For the reasons explained in introduction, it was choose not to reuse Tizen application framework directly, but to rework a new framework inspired from Tizen.</p>
-<p>fundamentals remain identical: the applications are distributed in a digitally signed container that should match widget specifications normalized by the W3C. This is described by the technical recommendations <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets" title="Packaged Web Apps">widgets</a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets-digsig" title="XML Digital Signatures for Widgets">widgets-digsig</a> of the W3 consortium.</p>
-<p>As today this model allows the distribution of HTML, QML and binary applications but it could be extended to any other class of applications.</p>
-<p>The management of widget package signatures. Current model is only an initial step, it might be extended in the future to include new feature (ie: incremental delivery).</p>

-<h3 id="xdg-app">xdg-app</h3>
-<h3 id="ostro">ostro</h3>
-<h1 id="organization-of-directory-of-applications">organization of directory of applications</h1>
-<p>The main path for applications are: APPDIR/PKGID/VER.</p>
-<p>Where:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>APPDIR is as defined above</li>
-<li>PKGID is a directory whose name is the package identifier</li>
-<li>VER is the version of the package MAJOR.MINOR</li>
-</ul>
-<p>The advantage of such an organization is to allow several versions to live together. This is required for multiple reasons (ie: roll back) and to comply with developers habits.</p>
-<h2 id="identity-of-installed-files">Identity of installed files</h2>
-<p>All the files are installed as user "userapp" and group "userapp". All files have rw(x) for user and r-(x) for group and others.</p>
-<p>This allows any user to read files.</p>
-<h2 id="labeling-the-directories-of-applications">labeling the directories of applications</h2>
-<h1 id="organization-of-data">organization of data</h1>
-<p>The data of a user are contain within its directory and are labeled using the application labels</p>
-<h1 id="setting-smack-rules-for-the-application">Setting Smack rules for the application</h1>
-<p>For Tizen, the following rules are set by the security manager for each application.</p>
-<pre><code>System ~APP~ rwx

-~APP~ System wx
-~APP~ System::Shared rxl

-<h1 id="agl-framework-overview-of-the-proposal-of-iot.bzh">AGL framework, overview of the proposal of IoT.bzh</h1>
-<h2 id="foreword">Foreword</h2>
-<p>This document describes what we intend to do. It may happen that our current implementation and the content of this document differ.</p>
-<p>In case of differences, it is assumed that this document is right and the implementation is wrong.</p>
-<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
-<p>During the first works in having the security model of Tizen integrated in AGL (Automotive Grade Linux) distribution, it became quickly obvious that the count of components specific to Tizen to integrate was huge.</p>
-<p>Here is a minimal list of what was needed:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>platform/appfw/app-installers</li>
-<li>platform/core/security/cert-svc</li>
-<li>platform/core/appfw/ail</li>
-<li>platform/core/appfw/aul-1</li>
-<li>platform/core/appfw/libslp-db-util</li>
-<li>platform/core/appfw/pkgmgr-info</li>
-<li>platform/core/appfw/slp-pkgmgr</li>
-</ul>
-<p>But this list is complete because many dependencies are hidden. Those hidden dependencies are including some common libraries but also many tizen specific sub-components (iniparser, bundle, dlog, libtzplatform-config, db-util, vconf-buxton, ...).</p>
-<p>This is an issue because AGL is not expected to be Tizen. Taking it would either need to patch it for removing unwanted components or to take all of them.</p>
-<p>However, a careful study of the core components of the security framework of Tizen showed that their dependencies to Tizen are light (and since some of our work, there is no more dependency to tizen). Those components are <strong>cynara</strong>, <strong>security-manager</strong>, <strong>D-Bus aware of cynara</strong>.</p>
-<p>Luckyly, these core security components of Tizen are provided by <a href="https://github.com/01org/meta-intel-iot-security" title="A collection of layers providing security technologies">meta-intel-iot-security</a>, a set of yocto layers. These layers were created by Intel to isolate Tizen specific security components from the initial port of Tizen to Yocto. The 3 layers are providing components for:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Implementing Smack LSM</li>
-<li>Implementing Integrity Measurement Architecture</li>
-<li>Implementing Tizen Security Framework</li>
-</ul>
-<p>The figure below shows the history of these layers.</p>
-<pre><code> 2014 2015
-Tizen OBS ----------+--------------------------->
- \
- \
- Tizen Yocto +---------+-------------->
- \
- \
- meta-intel-iot-security +-----------></code></pre>
-<p>We took the decision to use these security layers that provides the basis of the Tizen security, the security framework.</p>
-<p>For the components of the application framework, built top of the security framework, instead of pulling the huge set of packages from Tizen, we decided to refit it by developping a tiny set of components that would implement the same behaviour but without all the dependencies and with minor architectural improvements for AGL.</p>
-<p>These components are <strong>afm-system-daemon</strong> and <strong>afm-user-daemon</strong>. They provides infrastructure for installing, uninstalling, launching, terminating, stopping and resuming applications in a multi user secure environment.</p>
-<p>A third component exists in the framework, the binder <strong>afb-daemon</strong>. The binder provides the easiest way to provide secured API for any tier. Currently, the use of the binder is not absolutely mandatory.</p>
-<p>This documentation explains the framework created by IoT.bzh by rewriting the Tizen Application Framework. Be aware of the previous foreword.</p>
-<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>
-<p>The figure below shows the major components of the framework and their interactions going through the following scenario: APPLICATION installs an other application and then launch it.</p>

-<li><p>The system <strong>D-Bus</strong> transmits the request to <strong>afm-system-daemon</strong>.</p></li>
-</ol>
-<p><strong>afm-system-daemon</strong> checks the application to install, its signatures and rights and install it.</p>
-<ol start="5" type="1">
-<li><p><strong>afm-system-daemon</strong> calls <strong>SECURITY-MANAGER</strong> for fullfilling security context of the installed application.</p></li>

-<li><p><strong>afm-user-daemon</strong> launches the OTHER application.</p></li>
-</ol>
-<p>This scenario does not cover all the features of the frameworks. Shortly because details will be revealed in the next chapters, the components are:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><p><strong><em>SECURITY-MANAGER</em></strong>: in charge of setting Smack contexts and rules, of setting groups, and, of creating initial content of <em>CYNARA</em> rules for applications.</p></li>
-<li><p><strong><em>CYNARA</em></strong>: in charge of handling API access permissions by users and by applications.</p></li>
-<li><p><strong><em>D-Bus</em></strong>: in charge of checking security of messaging. The usual D-Bus security rules are enhanced by <em>CYNARA</em> checking rules.</p></li>
-<li><p><strong><em>afm-system-daemon</em></strong>: in charge of installing and uninstalling applications.</p></li>
-<li><p><strong><em>afm-user-daemon</em></strong>: in charge of listing applications, querying application details, starting, terminating, stopping, resuming applications and their instances for a given user context.</p></li>
-<li><p><strong><em>afb-binder</em></strong>: in charge of serving resources and features through an HTTP interface.</p></li>
-<li><p><strong><em>afm-main-binding</em></strong>: This binding allows applications to use the API of the AGL framework.</p></li>
-</ul>
-<h2 id="links-between-the-security-framework-and-the-application-framework">Links between the "Security framework" and the "Application framework"</h2>
-<p>The security framework refers to the security model used to ensure security and to the tools that are provided for implementing that model.</p>
-<p>The security model refers to how DAC (Discretionnary Access Control), MAC (Mandatory Access Control) and Capabilities are used by the system to ensure security and privacy. It also includes features of reporting using audit features and by managing logs and alerts.</p>
-<p>The application framework manages the applications: installing, uninstalling, starting, stopping, listing ...</p>
-<p>The application framework uses the security model/framework to ensure the security and the privacy of the applications that it manages.</p>
-<p>The application framework must be compliant with the underlyiong security model/framework. But it should hide it to the applications.</p>
-<h2 id="the-security-framework">The security framework</h2>
-<p>The implemented security model is the security model of Tizen 3. This model is described <a href="https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/Security/Tizen_3.X_Overview" title="Tizen 3 security overview">here</a>.</p>
-<p>The security framework then comes from Tizen 3 but through the <a href="https://github.com/01org/meta-intel-iot-security" title="A collection of layers providing security technologies">meta-intel</a>. It includes: <strong>Security-Manager</strong>, <strong>Cynara</strong> and <strong>D-Bus</strong> compliant to Cynara.</p>
-<p>Two patches are applied to the security-manager. These patches are removing dependencies to packages specific of Tizen but that are not needed by AGL. None of these patches adds or removes any behaviour.</p>
-<p><strong>Theoritically, the security framework/model is an implementation details that should not impact the layers above the application framework</strong>.</p>
-<p>The security framework of Tizen provides "nice lad" a valuable component to scan log files and analyse auditing. This component is still in developement.</p>
-<h2 id="the-application-framework">The application framework</h2>
-<p>The application framework on top of the security framework provides the components to install and uninstall applications and to run it in a secured environment.</p>
-<p>The goal is to manage applications and to hide the details of the security framework to the applications.</p>
-<p>For the reasons explained in introduction, we did not used the application framework of Tizen as is but used an adaptation of it.</p>
-<p>The basis is kept identical: the applications are distributed in a digitally signed container that must match the specifications of widgets (web applications). This is described by the technical recomendations <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets" title="Packaged Web Apps">widgets</a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets-digsig" title="XML Digital Signatures for Widgets">widgets-digsig</a> of the W3 consortium.</p>
-<p>This model allows the distribution of HTML, QML and binary applications.</p>
-<p>The management of signatures of the widget packages This basis is not meant as being rigid and it can be extended in the futur to include for example incremental delivery.</p>

-<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
-<p>This document proposes a quick tutorial to demonstrate the major functionnalities of the AGL Application Framework. For more complete information, please refer to the inline documentation available in the main git repository: https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/#/admin/projects/src/app-framework-main https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/#/admin/projects/src/app-framework-binder</p>
-<p>For more information on AGL, please visit: https://www.automotivelinux.org/</p>
-<hr />
-<h2 id="sample-applications">Sample applications</h2>
-<p>4 sample applications (.wgt files) are prebuilt and available at the following address: https://github.com/iotbzh/afm-widget-examples</p>
-<p>You can get them by cloning this git repository on your desktop (will be useful later in this tutorial):</p>
-<pre><code>$ git clone https://github.com/iotbzh/afm-widget-examples</code></pre>
-<h2 id="using-the-cli-tool">Using the CLI tool</h2>
-<h3 id="setup-environment">Setup Environment</h3>
-<p>Connect your AGL target board to the network and copy some sample widgets on it through SSH (set BOARDIP with your board IP address) :</p>
-<pre><code>$ cd afm-widget-examples
-$ BOARDIP=1.2.3.4
-$ scp *.wgt root@$BOARDIP:~/</code></pre>
-<p>Connect through SSH on the target board and check for Application Framework daemons:</p>
-<pre><code>$ ssh root@$BOARDIP
-root@porter:~# ps -ef|grep bin/afm
-afm 409 1 0 13:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/afm-system-daemon
-root 505 499 0 13:01 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/afm-user-daemon
-root 596 550 0 13:22 pts/0 00:00:00 grep afm</code></pre>
-<p>We can see that there are two daemons running: * <strong>afm-system-daemon</strong> runs with a system user 'afm' and is responsible for installing/uninstalling packages * <strong>afm-user-daemon</strong> runs as a user daemon (currently as root because it's the only real user on the target board) and is responsible for the whole lifecycle of the applications running inside the user session.</p>
-<p>The application framework has a tool running on the Command Line Interface (CLI). Using the <strong>afm-util</strong> command, you can install, uninstall, list, run, stop ... applications.</p>
-<p>To begin, run '<strong>afm-util help</strong>' to get a quick help on commands:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util help
-usage: afm-util command [arg]
-
-The commands are:
-
- list
- runnables list the runnable widgets installed
-
- add wgt
- install wgt install the wgt file
-
- remove id
- uninstall id remove the installed widget of id
-
- info id
- detail id print detail about the installed widget of id
-
- ps
- runners list the running instance
-
- run id
- start id start an instance of the widget of id
-
- kill rid
- terminate rid terminate the running instance rid
-
- stop rid
- pause rid stop the running instance rid
-
- resume rid
- continue rid continue the previously rid
-
- status rid
- state rid get status of the running instance rid</code></pre>
-<h3 id="install-an-application">Install an application</h3>
-<p>You can then install your first application:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util install /home/root/annex.wgt
-{ "added": "webapps-annex@0.0" }</code></pre>
-<p>Let's install a second application:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util install /home/root/memory-match.wgt
-{ "added": "webapps-memory-match@1.1" }</code></pre>
-<p>Note that usually, <strong>afm-util</strong> will return a <strong>JSON result</strong>, which is the common format for messages returned by the Application Framework daemons.</p>
-<h3 id="list-installed-applications">List installed applications</h3>
-<p>You can then list all installed applications:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util list
-[ { "id": "webapps-annex@0.0", "version": "0.0.10", "width": 0, "height": 0, "name": "Annex", "description": "Reversi\/Othello", "shortname": "", "author": "Todd Brandt <todd.e.brandt@intel.com>" },
- { "id": "webapps-memory-match@1.1", "version": "1.1.7", "width": 0, "height": 0, "name": "MemoryMatch", "description": "Memory match", "shortname": "", "author": "Todd Brandt <todd.e.brandt@intel.com>" } ]</code></pre>
-<p>Here, we can see the two previously installed applications.</p>
-<h3 id="get-information-about-an-application">Get information about an application</h3>
-<p>Let's get some details about the first application:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util info webapps-annex@0.0
-{ "id": "webapps-annex@0.0", "version": "0.0.10", "width": 0, "height": 0, "name": "Annex", "description": "Reversi\/Othello", "shortname": "", "author": "Todd Brandt <todd.e.brandt@intel.com>" }</code></pre>
-<p>Note that AGL applications are mostly handled by afm-util through their IDs. In our example, the application ID is 'webapps-annex@0.0'.</p>
-<h3 id="start-application">Start application</h3>
-<p>Let's start the first application Annex:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util start webapps-annex@0.0
-1</code></pre>
-<p>As the application is a HTML5 game, you should then get a webview running with QML on the board display.</p>
-<h3 id="security-context">Security Context</h3>
-<p>The application has been started in the user session, with a dedicated security context, enforced by SMACK. To illustrate this, we can take a look at the running processes and their respective SMACK labels:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# ps -efZ |grep webapps-annex | grep -v grep
-User::App::webapps-annex root 716 491 0 13:19 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/afb-daemon --mode=local --readyfd=8 --alias=/icons /usr/share/afm/icons --port=12348 --rootdir=/usr/share/afm/applications/webapps-annex/0.0 --token=7D6D2F16 --sessiondir=/home/root/app-data/webapps-annex/.afb-daemon
-User::App::webapps-annex root 717 491 0 13:19 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/qt5/qmlscene http://localhost:12348/index.html?token=7D6D2F16 /usr/bin/web-runtime-webkit.qml</code></pre>
-<p>In the previous result, we see that the application is composed of two processes: * the application binder (afb-daemon) * the application UI (qmlscene ...)</p>
-<p>While most system processes run with the label 'System', we see that the application runs with a specific SMACK label 'User::App::webapps-annex': this label is used to force the application to follow a Mandatory Access Control (MAC) scheme. This means that those processes run in their own security context, isolated from the rest of the system (and other applications). Global security rules can then be applied to restrict access to all other user or system resources.</p>
-<h3 id="check-running-applications">Check running applications</h3>
-<p>To check for running applications, just run:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util ps
-[ { "runid": 1, "state": "running", "id": "webapps-annex@0.0" } ]</code></pre>
-<p>The 'runid' is the application instance ID and is used as an argument for the subcommands controlling the application runtime state (kill/stop/resume/status)</p>
-<h3 id="stop-application">Stop application</h3>
-<p>To stop the application that was just started (the one with RUNID 1), just run the stop command:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util terminate 1
-true</code></pre>
-<p>The application is now stopped, as confirmed by a list of running apps:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util ps
-[ ]</code></pre>
-<h3 id="uninstall-application">Uninstall application</h3>
-<p>To uninstall an application, simply use its ID:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util uninstall webapps-annex@0.0
-true</code></pre>
-<p>Then list the installed apps to confirm the removal:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util list
-[ { "id": "webapps-memory-match@1.1", "version": "1.1.7", "width": 0, "height": 0, "name": "MemoryMatch", "description": "Memory match", "shortname": "", "author": "Todd Brandt <todd.e.brandt@intel.com>" } ]</code></pre>
-<h2 id="afm-client-a-sample-html5-homescreen">afm-client: a sample HTML5 'Homescreen'</h2>
-<p><strong>afm-client</strong> is a HTML5 UI that allows to install/uninstall applications as well as starting/stopping them as already demonstrated with afm-util.</p>
-<p>The HTML5 UI is accessible remotely through this URL: http://[board_ip]:1234/opa?token=132456789</p>
-<h3 id="installing-an-application">Installing an application</h3>
-<p>By clicking on the '<strong>Upload</strong>' button on the right, you can send an application package (WGT file) and install it. Select for example the file '<strong>rabbit.wgt</strong>' that was cloned initially from the git repository afm-widget-examples.</p>
-<p>Then a popup requester ask for a confirmation: 'Upload Application rabbit.wgt ?'. Click on the '<strong>Install</strong>' button.</p>
-<p>You should then see some changes in the toolbar: a new icon appeared, representing the freshly installed application.</p>
-<h3 id="running-an-application">Running an application</h3>
-<p>In the toolbar, click on the button representing the Rabbit application. You'll get a popup asking to: * start the application * or get some info about it * or uninstall it</p>
-<p>Click on the 'start' item: the application starts and should be visible as a webview on the target board display. Note that at this point, we could also run the application remotely, that is in the same browser as the Homescreen app. By default, the application framework is configured to run applications 'locally' on the board display.</p>
-<h3 id="stopping-an-application">Stopping an application</h3>
-<p>In the Homescreen application, click again on the Rabbit application button, then select 'stop': the application then stops.</p>
-<h3 id="uninstalling-an-application">Uninstalling an application</h3>
-<p>From the same popup menu, you can select 'uninstall' to remove the application from the system. As a consequence, the application icon should disappear from the toolbar.</p>
-<h2 id="afb-client-a-template-for-angular-applications">afb-client: a template for Angular Applications</h2>
-<p>Another package '<strong>afb-client</strong>' is also available for testing. This is a sample HTML5 application demonstrating various basic capabilities of the Binder daemon. It can be used by developers as a template to start writing real AGL Applications.</p>
-<p>This application is not available as WGT file yet and it should be started manually without any specific security context:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# /usr/bin/afb-daemon --mode=remote --port=1235 --token='' --sessiondir=/home/root/.afm-daemon --rootdir=/usr/share/agl/afb-client --alias=/icons:/usr/share/afm/icons</code></pre>
-<p>Then you can access it from a browser: http://[board_ip]:1235/opa/?token=132456789</p>
-<p>afb-client is a simple application to demonstrate the built-in capabilities of the binder daemon (handling sessions and security tokens, testing POSTs uploads...) and was used during the application framework development to validate the proposed features.</p>

-<p>Connect your AGL target board to the network and copy some sample widgets on it through SSH (set BOARDIP with your board IP address) :</p>
-<pre><code>$ cd afm-widget-examples
-$ BOARDIP=1.2.3.4
-$ scp *.wgt root@$BOARDIP:~/</code></pre>
-<p>Connect through SSH on the target board and check for Application Framework daemons:</p>
-<pre><code>$ ssh root@$BOARDIP
-root@porter:~# ps -ef|grep bin/afm
-afm 409 1 0 13:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/afm-system-daemon

-<h3 id="install-an-application">Install an application</h3>
-<p>You can then install your first application:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util install /home/root/annex.wgt
-{ "added": "webapps-annex@0.0" }</code></pre>
-<p>Let's install a second application:</p>

-<p>Note that usually, <strong>afm-util</strong> will return a <strong>JSON result</strong>, which is the common format for messages returned by the Application Framework daemons.</p>
-<h3 id="list-installed-applications">List installed applications</h3>
-<p>You can then list all installed applications:</p>

-<p>Here, we can see the two previously installed applications.</p>
-<h3 id="get-information-about-an-application">Get information about an application</h3>
-<p>Let's get some details about the first application:</p>

-User::App::webapps-annex root 716 491 0 13:19 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/afb-daemon --mode=local --readyfd=8 --alias=/icons /usr/share/afm/icons --port=12348 --rootdir=/usr/share/afm/applications/webapps-annex/0.0 --token=7D6D2F16 --sessiondir=/home/root/app-data/webapps-annex/.afb-daemon
-User::App::webapps-annex root 717 491 0 13:19 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/qt5/qmlscene http://localhost:12348/index.html?token=7D6D2F16 /usr/bin/web-runtime-webkit.qml</code></pre>
-<p>In the previous result, we see that the application is composed of two processes: * the application binder (afb-daemon) * the application UI (qmlscene ...)</p>
-<p>While most system processes run with the label 'System', we see that the application runs with a specific SMACK label 'User::App::webapps-annex': this label is used to force the application to follow a Mandatory Access Control (MAC) scheme. This means that those processes run in their own security context, isolated from the rest of the system (and other applications). Global security rules can then be applied to restrict access to all other user or system resources.</p>
-<h3 id="check-running-applications">Check running applications</h3>
-<p>To check for running applications, just run:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util ps
-[ { "runid": 1, "state": "running", "id": "webapps-annex@0.0" } ]</code></pre>
-<p>The 'runid' is the application instance ID and is used as an argument for the subcommands controlling the application runtime state (kill/stop/resume/status)</p>
-<h3 id="stop-application">Stop application</h3>
-<p>To stop the application that was just started (the one with RUNID 1), just run the stop command:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util terminate 1
-true</code></pre>
-<p>The application is now stopped, as confirmed by a list of running apps:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util ps
-[ ]</code></pre>
-<h3 id="uninstall-application">Uninstall application</h3>
-<p>To uninstall an application, simply use its ID:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util uninstall webapps-annex@0.0
-true</code></pre>
-<p>Then list the installed apps to confirm the removal:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# afm-util list
-[ { "id": "webapps-memory-match@1.1", "version": "1.1.7", "width": 0, "height": 0, "name": "MemoryMatch", "description": "Memory match", "shortname": "", "author": "Todd Brandt <todd.e.brandt@intel.com>" } ]</code></pre>
-<h2 id="afm-client-a-sample-html5-homescreen">afm-client: a sample HTML5 'Homescreen'</h2>
-<p><strong>afm-client</strong> is a HTML5 UI that allows to install/uninstall applications as well as starting/stopping them as already demonstrated with afm-util.</p>
-<p>The HTML5 UI is accessible remotely through this URL: http://[board_ip]:1234/opa?token=132456789</p>
-<h3 id="installing-an-application">Installing an application</h3>
-<p>By clicking on the '<strong>Upload</strong>' button on the right, you can send an application package (WGT file) and install it. Select for example the file '<strong>rabbit.wgt</strong>' that was cloned initially from the git repository afm-widget-examples.</p>
-<p>Then a popup requester ask for a confirmation: 'Upload Application rabbit.wgt ?'. Click on the '<strong>Install</strong>' button.</p>
-<p>You should then see some changes in the toolbar: a new icon appeared, representing the freshly installed application.</p>
-<h3 id="running-an-application">Running an application</h3>
-<p>In the toolbar, click on the button representing the Rabbit application. You'll get a popup asking to: * start the application * or get some info about it * or uninstall it</p>
-<p>Click on the 'start' item: the application starts and should be visible as a webview on the target board display. Note that at this point, we could also run the application remotely, that is in the same browser as the Homescreen app. By default, the application framework is configured to run applications 'locally' on the board display.</p>
-<h3 id="stopping-an-application">Stopping an application</h3>
-<p>In the Homescreen application, click again on the Rabbit application button, then select 'stop': the application then stops.</p>
-<h3 id="uninstalling-an-application">Uninstalling an application</h3>
-<p>From the same popup menu, you can select 'uninstall' to remove the application from the system. As a consequence, the application icon should disappear from the toolbar.</p>
-<h2 id="afb-client-a-template-for-angular-applications">afb-client: a template for Angular Applications</h2>
-<p>Another package '<strong>afb-client</strong>' is also available for testing. This is a sample HTML5 application demonstrating various basic capabilities of the Binder daemon. It can be used by developers as a template to start writing real AGL Applications.</p>
-<p>This application is not available as WGT file yet and it should be started manually without any specific security context:</p>
-<pre><code>root@porter:~# /usr/bin/afb-daemon --mode=remote --port=1235 --token='' --sessiondir=/home/root/.afm-daemon --rootdir=/usr/share/agl/afb-client --alias=/icons:/usr/share/afm/icons</code></pre>
-<p>Then you can access it from a browser: http://[board_ip]:1235/opa/?token=132456789</p>
-<p>afb-client is a simple application to demonstrate the built-in capabilities of the binder daemon (handling sessions and security tokens, testing POSTs uploads...) and was used during the application framework development to validate the proposed features.</p>

-<h1 id="the-widgets">The widgets</h1>
-<h2 id="the-widgets-1">The widgets</h2>
-<p>The widgets are described by the technical recommendations <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets" title="Packaged Web Apps">widgets</a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets-digsig" title="XML Digital Signatures for Widgets">widgets-digsig</a>.</p>
-<p>In summary, <strong>widgets are ZIP files that can be signed and whose content is described by the file <config.xml></strong>.</p>
-<h3 id="the-configuration-file-config.xml">The configuration file config.xml</h3>
-<p>This is one of the important file of the widget. It fully describes the widget.</p>
-<p>Here is the example of the config file for the QML application SmartHome.</p>
-<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode xml"><code class="sourceCode xml"><span class="kw"><?xml</span> version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"<span class="kw">?></span>

- <span class="kw"><license></span>GPL<span class="kw"></license></span>
-<span class="kw"></widget></span></code></pre></div>
-<p>The most important items are:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><p><strong><widget id="......"></strong>: gives the id of the widget. It must be unique.</p></li>
-<li><p><strong><widget version="......"></strong>: gives the version of the widget</p></li>
-<li><p><strong><icon src="..."></strong>: gives a path to the icon of the application (can be repeated with different sizes)</p></li>
-<li><p><strong><content src="..." type="..."></strong>: this indicates the entry point and its type. The types handled are set through the file /etc/afm/afm-launch.conf</p></li>
-</ul>
-<p>Further development will add handling of <feature> for requiring and providing permissions and services.</p>
-<h3 id="tools-for-managing-widgets">Tools for managing widgets</h3>
-<p>This project includes tools for managing widgets. These tools are:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><p><strong><em>wgtpkg-info</em></strong>: command line tool to display informations about a widget file.</p></li>
-<li><p><strong><em>wgtpkg-installer</em></strong>: command line tool to install a widget file.</p></li>
-<li><p><strong><em>wgtpkg-pack</em></strong>: command line tool to create a widget file from a widget directory.</p></li>
-<li><p><strong><em>wgtpkg-sign</em></strong>: command line tool to add a signature to a widget directory.</p></li>
-</ul>
-<p>For all these commands, a tiny help is available with options <strong>-h</strong> or <strong>--help</strong>.</p>
-<p>There is no tool for unpacking a widget. For doing such operation, you can use the command <strong>unzip</strong>.</p>
-<p>To list the files of a widget:</p>
-<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash">$ <span class="kw">unzip</span> -l WIDGET</code></pre></div>
-<p>To extract a widget in some directory:</p>
-<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash">$ <span class="kw">unzip</span> WIDGET -d DIRECTORY</code></pre></div>
-<p><em>Note that DIRECTORY will be created if needed</em>.</p>
-<h3 id="signing-a-widget">Signing a widget</h3>
-<p>To sign a widget, you need a private key and its certificate.</p>
-<p>The tool <strong>wgtpkg-sign</strong> creates or replace a signature file in the directory of the widget BEFORE its packaging.</p>
-<p>There are two types of signature files: author and distributor.</p>
-<p>Example 1: add an author signature</p>
-<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash">$ <span class="kw">wgtpkg-sign</span> -a -k me.key.pem -c me.cert.pem DIRECTORY</code></pre></div>
-<p>Example 2: add a distributor signature</p>
-<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash">$ <span class="kw">wgtpkg-sign</span> -k authority.key.pem -c authority.cert.pem DIRECTORY</code></pre></div>
-<h3 id="packing-a-widget">Packing a widget</h3>
-<p>This operation can be done using the command <strong>zip</strong> but we provide the tool <strong>wgtpkg-pack</strong> that may add checking.</p>
-<p>Example:</p>
-<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash">$ <span class="kw">wgtpkg-pack</span> DIRECTORY -o file.wgt</code></pre></div>
-<h3 id="getting-data-about-a-widget-file">Getting data about a widget file</h3>
-<p>The command <strong>wgtpkg-info</strong> opens a widget file, reads its <strong>config.xml</strong> file and displays its content in a human readable way.</p>
-<h2 id="writing-a-widget">Writing a widget</h2>
-<h3 id="what-kind-of-application">What kind of application?</h3>
-<p>The file <strong>/etc/afm/afm-launch.conf</strong> explain how to launch applications. (It is the current state that use afm-user-daemon. In a future, it may be replace by systemd features.)</p>
-<p>Currently the applications that can be run are:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><p>binary applications: their type is <strong><em>application/x-executable</em></strong></p></li>
-<li><p>HTML5 applications: their type is <strong><em>text/html</em></strong></p></li>
-<li><p>QML applications: their type is <strong><em>text/vnd.qt.qml</em></strong></p></li>
-</ul>
-<h3 id="the-steps-for-writing-a-widget">The steps for writing a widget</h3>
-<ol type="1">
-<li><p>make your application</p></li>
-<li><p>create its configuration file <strong>config.xml</strong></p></li>
-<li><p>sign it</p></li>
-<li><p>pack it</p></li>
-</ol>
-<p>Fairly easy, no?</p>
-<h2 id="organization-of-directory-of-applications">Organization of directory of applications</h2>
-<h3 id="directory-where-are-stored-applications">directory where are stored applications</h3>
-<p>Applications can be installed in different places: the system itself, extension device. On a phone application are typically installed on the sd card.</p>
-<p>This translates to:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>/usr/applications: system wide applications</li>
-<li>/opt/applications: removable applications</li>
-</ul>
-<p>From here those paths are referenced as: "APPDIR".</p>
-<p>The main path for applications is: APPDIR/PKGID/VER.</p>
-<p>Where:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>APPDIR is as defined above</li>
-<li>PKGID is a directory whose name is the package identifier</li>
-<li>VER is the version of the package MAJOR.MINOR</li>
-</ul>
-<p>This organization has the advantage to allow several versions to leave together. This is needed for some good reasons (rolling back) and also for less good reasons (user habits).</p>
-<h3 id="identity-of-installed-files">Identity of installed files</h3>
-<p>All files are installed as user "afm" and group "afm". All files have rw(x) for user and r-(x) for group and others.</p>
-<p>This allows every user to read every file.</p>
-<h3 id="labeling-the-directories-of-applications">labeling the directories of applications</h3>
-<p>The data of a user are in its directory and are labelled by the security-manager using the labels of the application.</p>

-<h2 id="about-config.xml">About "config.xml"</h2>
-<p>The file <strong>config.xml</strong> describes important data of the application to the framework:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>the unique identifier of the application</li>
-<li>the name of the application</li>
-<li>the type of the application</li>
-<li>the icon of the application</li>
-<li>the permissions linked to the application</li>
-<li>the services and dependancies of the application</li>
-</ul>
-<p>The file MUST be at the root of the widget and MUST be case sensitively name <strong><em>config.xml</em></strong>.</p>
-<p>The file <strong>config.xml</strong> is a XML file described by the document <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets" title="Packaged Web Apps">widgets</a>.</p>

-<h2 id="agl-features">AGL features</h2>
-<p>The AGL framework uses the feature tag for specifying security and binding requirement of the widget.</p>
-<p>The current version of AGL (up to 2.0.1, blowfish) has no fully implemented features.</p>
-<p>The features planned to be implemented are described below.</p>
-<h3 id="feature-nameurnaglrequired-binding">feature name="urn:AGL:required-binding"</h3>
-<p>List of the bindings required by the widget.</p>
-<p>Each required binding must be explicited using a <param> entry.</p>
-<h4 id="param-namerequired-binding-name">param name=[required binding name]</h4>
-<p>The value is either:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>required: the binding is mandatorily needed except if the feature isn't required (required="false") and in that case it is optional.</li>
-<li>optional: the binding is optional</li>
-</ul>
-<h3 id="feature-nameurnaglrequired-permission">feature name="urn:AGL:required-permission"</h3>
-<p>List of the permissions required by the widget.</p>
-<p>Each required permission must be explicited using a <param> entry.</p>
-<h4 id="param-namerequired-permission-name">param name=[required permission name]</h4>
-<p>The value is either:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>required: the permission is mandatorily needed except if the feature isn't required (required="false") and in that case it is optional.</li>
-<li>optional: the permission is optional</li>
-</ul>
-<h3 id="feature-nameurnaglprovided-binding">feature name="urn:AGL:provided-binding"</h3>
-<p>Use this feature for each provided binding of the widget. The parameters are:</p>
-<h4 id="param-namename">param name="name"</h4>
-<p>REQUIRED</p>
-<p>The value is the string that must match the binding prefix. It must be unique.</p>
-<h4 id="param-namesrc">param name="src"</h4>
-<p>REQUIRED</p>
-<p>The value is the path of the shared library for the binding.</p>
-<h4 id="param-nametype">param name="type"</h4>
-<p>REQUIRED</p>
-<p>Currently it must be <strong><em>application/vnd.agl.binding.v1</em></strong>.</p>

-<p>REQUIRED</p>
-<p>The value indicate the availability of the binidng:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>private: used only by the widget</li>
-<li>public: available to allowed clients as a remote service (requires permission+)</li>
-<li>inline: available to allowed clients inside their binding (unsafe, requires permission+++)</li>
-</ul>
-<h4 id="param-nameneeded-binding">param name="needed-binding"</h4>
-<p>OPTIONAL</p>
-<p>The value is a space separated list of binding's names that the binding needs.</p>
-<h3 id="feature-nameurnagldefined-permission">feature name="urn:AGL:defined-permission"</h3>
-<p>Each required permission must be explicited using a <param> entry.</p>
-<h4 id="param-namedefined-permission-name">param name=[defined permission name]</h4>
-<p>The value is the level of the defined permission. Standard levels are:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>system</li>
-<li>platform</li>
-<li>partner</li>
-<li>public</li>
-</ul>
-<p>This level defines the level of accreditation required to get the given permission. The accreditions are given by signatures of widgets.</p>
