[Qgis-developer] Authentification use from Python

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi all,

my goal is that my users do not save their PostgreSQL passwords in clear 
text but that they use the new Authentification system to do so. For my 
plugins I would need access to the PostgreSQL username and password, 
though. Is this generally possible in spite of security considerations 
as mentioned in the QGEP? If yes, how would I do it?

what I have so far is:
<code>
am = QgsAuthManager.instance()
myAuthMethodConfig = am.availableAuthMethodConfigs()[mykey]
myAuthMethodConfig.configMap() # returns an empty dict :-(
</code>

QGIS 2.12.2

any help appreciated

regards

Bernhard
