Any ideas on how to replace the authorization window with custom
application? I believe that Sony's biometric has done it.
If you mean extend authorisation services so as to support alternate
methods, e.g. biometrics, smart cards, etc, then I'm not sure there's
any official way to do so, at least not in 10.3. Rumours indicate
there is some support for login authentication via these methods (for
US government purposes), but they may still just be rumours at this
point.
Be careful with the idea of casually replacing the authorization
window, whether system wide or in a particular application - there are
many reasons why the system provides a generic authentication and
authorisation scheme, and why they should be used.
