I asked this question a few weeks ago but no one responded. Let me try again and rephrase the question. I am building an installer package using Iceberg. The installer is set to require root authentication. I need the installer to run a postflight script. In cases where I used a shell script, the root authentication was passed to the script with no problem. In this case, the postflight script is an Applescript and the root authentication does not appear to be passed to the script which fails on certain actions it's not allowed to do. I am aware that I can wrap the Applescript in a shell script and it would probably work. But the Applescript already contains some shell script code (do shell script) and I am afraid it gets too complicated, passing back and forth variables and results if I attempt to wrap that in a shell script. And it's an ugly solution. So, foremost, I am interested in the general question: do Applescripts as pre/postflight scripts in installer packages not get the proper credentials passed from the package?
