  43
  44         The AuthorizationPlugin API allows the creation of plugins that can participate
  45         in authorization decisions.  Using the AuthorizationDB API the system can be configured
  46         to use these plugins.  Plugins are loaded into a separate process, the pluginhost, to
  47         isolate the process of authorization from the client.  There are two types of pluginhosts.
  48         One runs as an anonymous user and can be used to communicate with the user, for example
  49         to ask for a password.  Another one runs with root privileges to perform privileged
  50         operations that may be required.
  51
  52     A typical use is to implement additional policies that cannot be expressed in the
  53     authorization configuration.
  54
  55     Plugins implement a handshake function called AuthorizationPluginCreate with which
  56     their interface (AuthorizationPluginInterface) and the engine's interface
  57     (AuthorizationCallbacks) are exchanged.  Plugins are asked to create
  58     Mechanisms, which are the basic element as authorizations are performed.
  59
  60     Mechanisms are invoked when it is time for them to make a decision.  A decision is
  61     made by setting a single result (AuthorizationResult).  Mechanisms in the
  62     authorization can communicate auxiliary information by setting and/or getting hints
  63     and setting and/or getting context data.  Hints are advisory and don't need to be
  64     looked at, nor are they preserved as part of the authorization result. Context data
  65     becomes part of the result of the authorization.
  66
  67     Context data is tagged with a flag that describes whether the information is returned
  68     to the authorization client upon request (AuthorizationCopyInfo() in Authorization.h)
  69     or whether it's private to the mechanisms making a decision.
