QtService application cannot connect to system bus

问题:

I have recompiled Qt with integrated dbus for windows.

Further, I have implemented a QtService application which registers a service and an object at the system bus as follows:

QDBusConnection::systemBus().registerService("com.mycompany.Configuration");
QDBusConnection::systemBus().registerObject("/com/mycompany/Configuration/MySetting", myObject);

Now when I am running the service application with the -e parameter (running as regular application) it works fine and both dbus-monitor and qdbus --system show me the registered service and object.

However, when I am running the application as a windows service it does not register anything at the system bus.

Debugging the service gives me the error message

Not connected to D-Bus server

when calling registerService(...) and registerObject(...).

I have set the environment variables:

DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS = autolaunch:
DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_DEFAULT_ADDRESS = autolaunch:

My system.conf file:

<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-Bus Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>

  <include ignore_missing="yes">system-local.conf</include>

  <include if_selinux_enabled="yes" selinux_root_relative="yes">contexts/dbus_contexts</include>

</busconfig>

Additionally, I have a com.mycompany.Configuration.conf file in the system.d folder:

<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
      "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
      "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">

  <!-- Only root can own the service -->
  <policy context="default">
    <allow own="com.mycompany.Configuration"/>
    <allow send_interface="com.mycompany.Configuration"/>
    <allow send_destination="com.mycompany.Configuration"/>
    <allow receive_sender="com.mycompany.Configuration"/>
  </policy>

</busconfig>

The windows service itself is called com.mycompany.Configuration and is executed as the Local System account.

Moreover, dbus verbose output shows that something is going on when my windows service gets started:

I really don't know what the issue could be and would appreciate any help.

Edit: This one seems to have the same issue: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.dbus/14895

回答1:

In the end I solved the problem and my service is now able to connect to the system bus.

I made the following changes:

In system.conf I changed the listen property and the authentication property:

<listen>tcp:host=localhost,port=13337,family=ipv4</listen>
<auth>ANONYMOUS</auth>
<allow_anonymous/>

According to that changes I set the system environment variables analogously:

DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS = tcp:host=localhost,port=13337,family=ipv4
DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_DEFAULT_ADDRESS = tcp:host=localhost,port=13337,family=ipv4

This answer led me in the right direction.
