Sorry, I didn't read your original post too carefully; it looks like you
haven't even gotten to that point of authenticating. Check for examples using
SFAuthorizationView; it creates the OS-standard lock/unlock icon and label and
can prompt the user in the way you want.
If you still need the username after that, see my first post.
>If you have already gotten an AuthorizationRef that's been authenticated, you

>documentation for those keywords). If you want the Unix username, start with
>"getuid" and work from there.
