I have an application which when launched asks for user to authenticate for
admin rights.

Eyebrows are raised.

After user authenticates the app is launched. I thought after authentication
the Application executes with admin privilages. But is is still executing in
user privilages only.
Is there any way in which i can elevate the privilege of the binary after
authentication.

You need to re-post this question to a different list where it will be on-topic:

Also, from what I've read so far, prepare to be told that you're doing things wrong and that your application is a threat to national security.
