Security Framework: authorization rights.

Security Framework: authorization rights.

  • Thread-topic: Security Framework: authorization rights.

Since Panther will no longer support crypt() I am working on replacing
our code with Security Framework code. I have tried making my own
authorization right "com.CA.eTrust.AV.inoweb" for logging into our web
gui. I would like it to by-default allow any user with a valid account
on the target machine to log in. However, since my right does not match
any in the Policy Database, it matches the default which requires an
admin account.

I took a look at the /etc/authorization plist and tried some of the
generic rights. The only ones I could get to work for any user was
"config.add" and "system.burn". It would seem stupid to use one of
these rights for my application so how do I add my own right to the
database? How would I add a right during an install?
