All security related API are in the Security Framework(s).

You do not have control of what to user enter in this dialog, its main purpose is to create some "rights" and return them to you if the user is allow to use them.

Usually this dialog is automatically displayed when you query some authorizaton. The cocoa way to do this is to use the "SFAuthorization" class from SecurityFoundation framework.

What do you want to do exactly with this dialog ?

Hello Folks,

I'm trying to figure out where the API for the system's password entry dialog is defined.

In particular, I'm interested in using the dialog which is used by Disk Utility (i.e. diskimages-helper) to enter passwords.

Is there a public API for password entry dialogs? Or should I just roll my own?

Thanks,
