All,
I am sponsoring this fast track for Stephen Browne of the Gnome
group in Ireland. I have set the timer for Monday, August 31st,
2009. The case directory contains the attached proposal.
This project proposes to introduce a new CLI within a Patch release
of Solaris. The new CLI will enable developers to use the existing
GUI Label Builder within Trusted Extensions administrative tools.
In addition the CLI will require all arguments to the tool to be present
and will produce either the selected label or an error message.
A man page is forth coming and will be placed in the case directory
when it is available. The new CLI is declared Uncommitted and will
be delivered in the existing SUNWtgnome-tsol-libs SVr4 package.
Thanks,
John

2. Project Summary
2.1. Project Description:
Provide a command line interface to the already existing GUI
Label Builder dialog to allow developers to make use of label
selection in Trusted Extensions administrative tools.
4. Technical Description:
4.1. Details:
The library libgnometsol is already provided as part of our
Trusted Desktop. This library includes an implementation of a
label selection dialog and is used by the existing trusted
stripe, workspace switcher and Login label selection GUI.
The existsing label builder API will be simply wrapped in a
small binary that creates a label builder GUI dialog based on
command line arguments, displays it for the user to select a
label and prints out the selected label (in one of two forms) or
an appropriate error message.
For example:
$ tsoltjds-getlabel --min=admin_low --max=admin_low \
--default=public --accredcheck=y --mode=clearance \
--format=internal
0x0002-8-08
$
All of the arguments are mandatory and will be detailed in the
new manpage to accompany the new binary.
