Admin programs and password

Hi,

I have noticed that a number of admin applications ask for a
admin user/password before doing any work. Is the dialogue
shown provided by the system or by the application, in other
words does the application ask for the password, or does it
delegate this task to the system who then provides a session
authorization key?

I ask this because I worrying about a potential security issues
if it is indeed the application that handles the user/password.

Andre
