       geoclue.conf - geoclue configuration parameters

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The geoclue geoclue.conf configuration file specifies parameters that control the operation of geoclue.

       All configurations settings below are mandatory and the defaults are what you see before you edit them in
       geoclue.conf. If you want to keep the default values around, copy and comment out the appropriate line(s)
       before changing them.

AGENT CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       [agent] is used to begin the agent configuration.

       whitelist
              Whitelist of desktop IDs (without .desktop part) of all agents we recognise, separated by a ';'.

              enable=true
              Enable Modem-GPS source

       [wifi]
              WiFi source configuration options

              enable=true
              Enable WiFi source

              url=https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=geoclue
              URL  to  the  wifi geolocation service. The key can currenty be anything, just needs to be present
              but that is likely going to change in future.

              submit-data=false Submit data to Mozilla Location Service
              If set to true, geoclue will automatically submit network data to Mozilla each time it gets a  GPS
              lock.

              submission-url=https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/submit?key=geoclue
              URL to submission API of Mozilla Location Service

              submission-nick=geoclue
              A nickname to submit network data with. A nickname must be 2-32 characters long.

APPLICATION CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       Having  an  entry  here  for  an  application  with allowed=true means that geoclue will not ask agent to
       authorize the application. This is to ensure that applications with built-in authorization mechanism (e.g
       web browsers) do not have to be bound to agents.

       If your application is denied access to location information and your operating  system  doesn't  provide
       any  mechanism  to change that, it is likely a bug in your operation system (or geoclue). The solution is
       to report the issue with all details, rather than adding your application to this list.

       Format:
              [random-app]
              Desktop ID of application without .desktop part

              allowed=true|false
              Allowed access to location information?

              system=true|false
              Is application a system component?

              users=
              List of UIDs of all users for which this application is allowed location info access, separate  by
              ';'. Keep it empty for allowing it for all users.

       Examples:
              [gnome-datetime-panel]
              allowed=true
              system=true
              users=

              [gnome-color-panel]
              allowed=true
