<p>
Each secret property in a setting has an associated "flags" property
that describes how to handle that secret. The "flags" property is a
bitfield that contains zero or more of the following values logically
OR-ed together.

<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem">
<code class="literal">0x0 (none)</code> - the system is responsible for providing
and storing this secret.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<code class="literal">0x1 (agent-owned)</code> - a user-session secret agent
is responsible for providing and storing this secret; when it is
required, agents will be asked to provide it.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<code class="literal">0x2 (not-saved)</code> - this secret should not be saved
but should be requested from the user each time it is required. This
flag should be used for One-Time-Pad secrets, PIN codes from
hardware tokens, or if the user simply does not want to save the
secret.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<code class="literal">0x4 (not-required)</code> - in some situations it cannot
be automatically determined that a secret is required or not. This
flag hints that the secret is not required and should not be
requested from the user.
