Hi All,
I'm wondering what is a good way to verify the identity of
the client. I just want to make sure some other app doesn't start using my
tool while I am running it,
and doing nasty stuff with root access. By searching the archives and
elsewhere, I've found information on how to authenticate messages, but I
have not found anything on a good method to verify the identity of the
message sender.
What I read from the mailing lists is that you can get the security token of
the client from
Mach, and so verify, for example, that the client is at least running as
root (and so, it's at least as privileged as your server).
How to get the secuirty token I mean which call is there to get the secuity
token
Thanks and Regards
