Hi,

Let me raise two SDK specific issues. It may bring us more thinking about SDK 
user and security features.

1. Currently journal log only can be accessed by 'root' user, other users 
including 'app' user cannot access it. But as SDK developers, they need to get 
some log such as web application console log or even system level log to 
address the causes once running applications failed.

2. Some native apps' debugging tools such as gdbserver, oprofile and valgrind 
need a specific privilege to run. I am not sure in Tizen 3, what privilege it 
needs. It may need to access some kernel device nodes. I concern if 'app' user 
has the privilege to access kernel device node.
Although currently IVI SDK doesn't support native apps(I am not sure if IVI SDK 
also need to support native apps in future). It is a key issue for Tizen 
SDK(including mobile SDK, wearable SDK, or others).


Thanks.
Best regards,
Alice

Subject: [Dev] SDK vs multiuser and security features

Hello;

We have recently seen a set of bugs raised due to side effect of the SDK mode 
of operation based on tizen 2 but used on Tizen 3.
I would like to invite the SDK architects to express their view on the transfer 
from Tizen 2 to 3 operation mode and how they propose to update the SDK.

I see few changes that will need to happen in order for the SDK to operate with 
Tizen 3 and we should address them soon rather than later. 
They might be more.

  - user App is going away. So no cross profile assumption on a default user ID 
can be made any more. The SDK will have to connect as a real valid user.
  - security and data privacy enforcement cannot be turned off and so faking 
user ID will not work.
  - Security features are linked to the Kernel which is 3.14, and so the SDK 
should be aligned. It should run with security "on".
  - sdb mode of operation is a security back door which needs to be fixed (or 
replaced)

It would be great to get a Wiki page created with your proposed model.

Regards
