I just wrote up a small pref pane to start/stop Tomcat. It's no big
deal and
just for personal use. However, since the triggered start skript for
Tomcat
needs to get admin's permissions, I need to use some of the stuff from
the
Security Framework. I basicly grabbed a lot of stuff from other
projects to
put it together and it works as expected...
However, to get a consistent view of my pane, yesterday I decided to
use the
SFAuthorizationView to control gaining root access... And now I'm in
trouble
because I need to know more about the lifecycle of a pref pane as well
as
about the security concept. Currently my pane is doing something weird,
after starting up and requesting an 'unlock' it is requesting the
authorization twice(!). Note that I'm able to cancle the second auth
request, without losing the authorization done by the first time!
Meanwile I found the announcement of a sample pref pane using
SFAuthorizationView from an Apple fellow (the announcement is from
March
2004) but there is still no sample code available.
That probably was me, since I am working on such a sample as time
allows.
If you send email to <email@hidden> asking for the SFAuthorizationView
sample, I will send the code to you in its current state. (You will not
be charged a tech support incident for this.)
The sample is functional enough to illustrate how to use the view, but
the part about actually performing a privileged operation isn't in the
code yet. Fortunately that process is well documented and there are a
handful of samples illustrating the process.
Question: Anybody out there with a pref pane using SFAuthorizationView
to
learn from?
Sorry for my bad english,
Martin
