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);
    }
