Hi all, I'm in the process of writing a Django (Python) module for configuring NetworkManager, this is aimed at small headless appliances that provide a web UI for various configuration tasks.
I've managed to write a suitable wrapper around NetworkManager, and so far it works, if I run the Django test server instance in a shell session, I can configure network connections. Things are a little clunky, but it's workable. Except, when I try and run the module within Apache under mod_wsgi, accessing privileged commands yields the response: org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Settings.PermissionDenied: No session found for uid 33 (unknown) Now as I understand it, NetworkManager checks with PolKit to see if I have a valid session. It works when I run my program in a shell session since it piggy backs off my desktop, but Apache does not have such a luxury. Hence the error. I can configure Apache to run as root, but that's distasteful in many ways even on an appliance. My research into this has suggested I need to make use of the PolkitAgentTextListener: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/0.105/PolkitAgentTextListener.html How do I access this object via DBus?
