macOS Authenticate My Application to Raw read hard disk on Tiger??

[naveen]

Hi all
I am able to raw read the hard disk on Mac OS 10X but on Mac OS Tiger I am not able to raw read the hard disk it gives an error "Permissions denied".

How I can authenticate my application to raw read the hard disk on Mac OS Tiger.


Please give me some sample code so that i can authenticate my application to raw read.


Thanks and Regards

You should read the documentation.

Then maybe you could look at the Apple Sample Code

This answer is so true for all of naveen's questions.

Naveen, I am very curious as to what you are writing...

And given the number of questions asked will MacRumors get a credit in the About box?

Try the Authorization.framework here: http://septicus.com/products/opensource/

That looks nice, but iirc naveen's previous questions have been Carbon based so the C API above is probably better for him.

When I looked at the authentication.framework stuff it was fine as far as it went. Seemed a bit weak and lacking in features. You'd probably end up using the C API anyway.

Yeah, Naveen. Any chance of you checking the documentation before asking? Or perhaps actually thanking people that do take the time to answer you?
