Hi all,
I need to remove a folder from within /Applications/OurCompany, so I'm
using Authorization Services to get Admin rights, and then using
removeFileAtPath to remove the folder.
When I'm logged on as admin, this works perfectly fine. When I'm logged
in as a standard user, I authenticate with the admin username and
password, authorization is granted ok, but then it still can't delete
the folder.
Can anybody suggest what I might be missing here? Perhaps I have
mis-understood the Apple security documentation?
Here is my code in case that may shed any light on this (strFolderPath
is declared earlier in the code....)
// create the authorization reference...
AuthorizationRef myAuthorizationRef;
OSStatus myStatus;
myStatus = AuthorizationCreate (NULL,
kAuthorizationEmptyEnvironment, kAuthorizationFlagDefaults,
&myAuthorizationRef);
AuthorizationItem myItems[1];
AuthorizationRights myRights;
myRights.items = myItems;
AuthorizationFlags myFlags = kAuthorizationFlagDefaults |
kAuthorizationFlagInteractionAllowed | kAuthorizationFlagExtendRights;
myItems[0].name = "com.Test.myRight1";
myItems[0].valueLength = 0;
myItems[0].value = NULL;
myItems[0].flags = 0;
myRights.count = 1;
if (AuthorizationCopyRights (myAuthorizationRef, &myRights,
kAuthorizationEmptyEnvironment, myFlags, NULL) ==
errAuthorizationSuccess)
{
panel = NSRunAlertPanel (@"Test", @"Got
Authorization!", @"OK", nil, nil);
if ([NSFm removeFileAtPath: (NSString *)
strFolderPath handler: nil] == NO)
{
panel = NSRunAlertPanel (@"Test",
@"Folder NOT removed", @"OK", nil, nil);
}
else
{
panel = NSRunAlertPanel (@"Test",
@"Folder removed", @"OK", nil, nil);
}
}
else
{
panel = NSRunAlertPanel (@"Test", @"Not Got
Authorization!", @"OK", nil, nil);
}
