Okay, so now the behavior is really strange. I have a LaunchAgent, that acts as a web server, so it holds open a specific port and should accept incoming connections on that port. The agent is set to RunAtLoad=True, so it starts up whenever the OS X starts up.
When I reboot the machine, a firewall popup (like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/5x54f.png) shows up. This is normal and expected. So I select "Allow", the application works fine. Then I reboot the system. And this pop up shows up again. This is weird, because in System Preferences => Security & Privacy => "Firewall" I can see my application, and it is set to "Allow incoming connections". But every time I restart my mac, I am getting this firewall popup window, which is annoying. Is there any way to get rid of this "Allow incoming connections?" pop up, once the user selected "Allow" for a launch agent? Here's the plist for the launch agent: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" " http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.my.WebServer</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/bin/sh</string> <string>-c</string> <string>exec "$HOME/Library/Application Support/com.my.WebServer/WebServer"</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Thank you 2015-09-13 18:56 GMT+03:00 Nick <eveningn...@gmail.com>: > Hello > Does the process started using launchd (its plist is located at > ~/Library/LaunchAgents/), that opens ports for listening, require explicit > adding to the firewall exceptions? > > When the user starts an application from terminal a window pops up, asking > whether to allow this process to accept incoming connections - and if > allowed, an entry is added to System Preferences => Firewall exceptions. > > However when i start my process by calling > launchctl start ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.my.launchagent.plist > the window doesn't pop up. > > Thanks, >
