IIUC correctly, this API should be called by Java only if the Java has received
a FetchSecret request for the user's PIN?  So this method should use the same
terminology, a.g. ProvideSecret(), and the comment should make clear when it may
be called.

Done.

-  // Gets notified if the user needs to enter a PIN, and notifies Java in turn.
+  // Notifies the user interface that the user needs to enter a PIN. The

[Wez, 2013/07/12 20:13:41]

When you say _is_ put on hold, do you mean _should be_ put on hold, ie. the
caller needs to pause processing auth stuff?

[solb, 2013/07/12 21:10:54]

No; I mean that the Chromoting authentication code won't do anything else until
someone invokes its |callback|.

This method seems to be an internal implementation detail - why is it public?

[solb, 2013/07/12 21:10:54]

Done.

For this and the rest of the members below, you should clarify which thread they
