TlsInteraction.invokeAskPassword

Invoke the interaction to ask the user for a password. It invokes this interaction in the main loop, specifically the #GMainContext returned by g_main_context_get_thread_default() when the interaction is created. This is called by called by #GTlsConnection or #GTlsDatabase to ask the user for a password.

Derived subclasses usually implement a password prompt, although they may also choose to provide a password from elsewhere. The @password value will be filled in and then @callback will be called. Alternatively the user may abort this password request, which will usually abort the TLS connection.

The implementation can either be a synchronous (eg: modal dialog) or an asynchronous one (eg: modeless dialog). This function will take care of calling which ever one correctly.

If the interaction is cancelled by the cancellation object, or by the user then %G_TLS_INTERACTION_FAILED will be returned with an error that contains a %G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED error code. Certain implementations may not support immediate cancellation.
