A complementary question. F-Script Anywhere and a few other apps I found use, in their .plist, SecTaskAccess = allowed and ask the user to trust the included certificate.

The documentation for taskgated says:
Allow signed applications marked as "safe" to have free access to task ports, without having to pass an authorization check. Note that such callers must be marked both allowed and safe.
The SecTaskAllowed key seems to be a string. How can I set it to "both allowed and safe"? "allowed,safe", "allowed+safe" and "allowed/ safe" didn't work. Neither did changing it to an array of strings...

The proper idiom (in general) is an <array> of <string>s. However, as of Leopard GM, the "safe" marker requires an Apple signature, and is thus not available to third party developers. (In other words, Apple reserves the prompt-less version to itself. Yes, I realize the manpage doesn't say so; that decision was made a bit late.)
