AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges and osascript failing
- by cygnl7
I'm attempting to execute an uninstaller (written in AppleScript) through AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges. I'm setting up my rights after creating an empty auth ref like so:
char *tool = "/usr/bin/osascript";
AuthorizationItem items = {kAuthorizationRightExecute, strlen(tool), tool, 0};
AuthorizationRights rights = {sizeof(items)/sizeof(AuthorizationItem), &items};
AuthorizationFlags flags = kAuthorizationFlagDefaults |
kAuthorizationFlagExtendRights |
kAuthorizationFlagPreAuthorize |
kAuthorizationFlagInteractionAllowed;
status = AuthorizationCopyRights(authorizationRef, &rights, NULL, flags, NULL);
Later I call:
status = AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges(authorizationRef, tool, kAuthorizationFlagDefaults, (char *const *)args, NULL);
On Snow Leopard this works fine, but on Leopard I get the following in syslog.log:
Apr 19 15:30:09 hostname /usr/bin/osascript[39226]: OpenScripting.framework - 'gdut' event blocked in process with mixed credentials (issetugid=0 uid=501 euid=0 gid=20 egid=20)

Am I going about this all wrong? I just want to run the equivalent of "sudo /usr/bin/osascript ..."
