John Ferlan	6fb96a7f8b	util: Introduce API's for Polkit text authentication ... Introduce virPolkitAgentCreate and virPolkitAgentDestroy virPolkitAgentCreate will run the polkit pkttyagent image as an asynchronous command in order to handle the local agent authentication via stdin/stdout. The code makes use of the pkttyagent --notify-fd mechanism to let it know when the agent is successfully registered. virPolkitAgentDestroy will close the command effectively reaping our child process	2016-03-01 06:50:16 -05:00
Daniel P. Berrange	1b854c76c7	Add common API for doing polkit authentication ... There are now two places in libvirt which use polkit. Currently they use pkexec, which is set to be replaced by direct DBus API calls. Add a common API which they will both be able to use for this purpose. No tests are added at this time, since the impl will be gutted in favour of a DBus API call shortly. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>	2014-09-24 15:29:22 +01:00
