I am using AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges to run a shell script which needs root privileges. I can execute the shell scripts as a local user, but can't run scripts which need root privileges. I read through many doc's on the net and the guides in developer.apple.com since yesterday, and haven't found an answer yet.
Please advice.
-------------  the code --------------------------
AuthorizationRef authRef_;
NSString *pathToTool = @"/bin/sh";
NSString *filePath3 = @"~/Desktop/AUTOscript/loadApp.sh";
argsArray3[0] = "-p"; argsArray3[1] = (char *)[[filePath3 stringByExpandingTildeInPath] fileSystemRepresentation]; argsArray3[2] = NULL;

OSStatus status3 = AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges(authRef_, [pathToTool UTF8String], 0, argsArray3 , NULL);

You have created an empty AuthorizationRef structure without getting any authorization data or actually authorizing the operation. Look at the "Authorization Services C Reference" or "Performing Privileged Operations With Authorization Services" documents on how to do this.
