Hi,
Any idea why following code always returning errAuthorizationToolExecuteFailure (-60031). Tried multiple combination of flags, but no luck.
// Create authorization reference
OSStatus status;
AuthorizationRef authorizationRef;
// kAuthorizationRightExecute == "system.privilege.admin"
AuthorizationItem right = {kAuthorizationRightExecute, 0, NULL, 0};
AuthorizationRights rights = {1, &right};
AuthorizationFlags flags = kAuthorizationFlagDefaults |
kAuthorizationFlagInteractionAllowed |
kAuthorizationFlagExtendRights;
NSString *promptText = @"Custom text displaying in the dialog.\n\n";
AuthorizationItem dialogConfiguration[1] = { kAuthorizationEnvironmentPrompt, [promptText length], (char *) [promptText UTF8String], 0 };
AuthorizationEnvironment authorizationEnvironment = { 0 };
authorizationEnvironment.items = dialogConfiguration;
authorizationEnvironment.count = 1;
// Open dialog and prompt user for password
status = AuthorizationCreate(&rights, &authorizationEnvironment, flags, &authorizationRef);
NSLog(@"Initial Authorization: %d", (int)status);
FILE *pipe = NULL;
if (status == errAuthorizationSuccess)
{
char *cpTool = (char *)[@"cp Rf" UTF8String]; //Running this code in the sample user. And myApp.app has the Read&write permissions
char *cpToolArgs[] = {(char *)[@"/Users/sample/Desktop/myApp.app" UTF8String], (char *)[@"/Applications" UTF8String], NULL};
status = AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges(authorizationRef, cpTool,
kAuthorizationFlagDefaults, cpToolArgs, &pipe);
NSLog(@"cpTool:%s Args:%s %s", cpTool, cpToolArgs[0], cpToolArgs[1]);
if (status != errAuthorizationSuccess)
NSLog(@"Error: %d", (int)status);
}
