Hello, I'm trying to add support for polkit on a server that controls hardware resources and communicates with its clients using unix domain sockets, and I use the SO_PEERCRED to obtain the uid and pid to provide to polkit_unix_process_new_for_owner().
So far I've been able to make that work on the server side. However I am very confused with the polkit_authority_check_authorization flag. The API reference mentions "Note that POLKIT_CHECK_AUTHORIZATION_FLAGS_ALLOW_USER_INTERACTION SHOULD be passed ONLY if the event that triggered the authorization check is stemming from an user action, e.g. the user pressing a button or attaching a device.". However, that feels a bit confusing. A server like the one I describe can never know that. What do I do in that case, do I set the flag or not? What are the implications of setting the flag when a non-interactive application is accessing the server? regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ polkit-devel mailing list polkit-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/polkit-devel
