42 @header AuthorizationPlugin
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.
52 A typical use is to implement additional policies that cannot be expressed in the
53 authorization configuration.
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.
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.
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.
75 @typedef AuthorizationValue
76 Auxiliary data is passed between the engine and the mechanism as AuthorizationValues
78 typedef struct AuthorizationValue
81 void * __nullable data
;
85 @typedef AuthorizationValueVector
86 A vector of AuthorizationValues. Used to communicate arguments passed from the
87 configuration file <code>authorization(5)</code>.
89 typedef struct AuthorizationValueVector
92 AuthorizationValue
*values
;
93 } AuthorizationValueVector
;
97 Data produced as context during the authorization evaluation is tagged.
98 If data is set to be extractable (kAuthorizationContextFlagExtractable), it will be possible for the client of authorization to obtain the value of this attribute using AuthorizationCopyInfo().
99 If data is marked as volatile (kAuthorizationContextFlagVolatile), this value will not be remembered in the AuthorizationRef.
100 Sticky data (kAuthorizationContextFlagSticky) persists through a failed or interrupted evaluation. It can be used to propagate an error condition from a downstream plugin to an upstream one. It is not remembered in the AuthorizationRef.

112 The mechanism id specified in the configuration is passed to the plugin to create the appropriate mechanism.

;
117 @typedef AuthorizationPluginId
118 Not used by plugin writers. Loaded plugins are identified by their name.

129 @typedef AuthorizationMechanismRef
130 Handle passed back by the plugin writer when creating an an instance of a mechanism in a plugin. One instance will be created for any authorization.

135 @typedef AuthorizationEngineRef
136 Handle passed from the engine to an instance of a mechanism in a plugin (corresponds to a particular AuthorizationMechanismRef).
138 typedef struct __OpaqueAuthorizationEngine
*AuthorizationEngineRef

141 @typedef AuthorizationSessionId
142 A unique value for an AuthorizationSession being evaluated, provided by the authorization engine.
143 A session is represented by a top level call to an Authorization API.
145 typedef void *AuthorizationSessionId
;
148 @enum AuthorizationResult
149 Possible values for SetResult() in AuthorizationCallbacks.
151 @constant kAuthorizationResultAllow the operation succeeded and authorization should be granted as far as this mechanism is concerned.
152 @constant kAuthorizationResultDeny the operation succeeded but authorization should be denied as far as this mechanism is concerned.
153 @constant kAuthorizationResultUndefined the operation failed for some reason and should not be retried for this session.
154 @constant kAuthorizationResultUserCanceled the user has requested that the evaluation be terminated.
