I'm not sure if this is the best list to ask my question, but I
thought I'd start here since I've seen some auth items discussed
here before. If there is a better list, please point me at it (the
description of the CDSA list sounded like it was for something
different).
Au contraire, Apple-CDSA is exactly the right mailing list to ask
this on. The folks from Apple's data security team, who are
responsible for all of this Authorization Services goo, hang out on
that list.
Okay. I'll take future questions there, I'm sure I'll have plenty.
Finally, remember that you can use SFAuthorizationView (in the
SecurityInterface framework) to do all of the having lifting
associated with the "lock" icon.
Aha! SFAuthorizationView wasn't mentioned any any of the docs I've
read to date. I'm going to write a bug on the docs for that. Now that
I have found this view I'll do some more experimenting and hit the
CDSA list.
