Screensaver is not coming when system.login.screensaver is updated to use authenticate-session-owner-or-admin

On recent macOS versions(Sonoma or previous), if system.login.screensaver is updated to use “authenticate-session-owner-or-admin” then fancy screensaver is not coming up, instead we are seeing only black screensaver ( black screen). Note: Observed we are getting fancy screensavers with this setting on macOS BigSur. Can you please let us know if this is an intentional change from macOS or we have any settings to enable to get fancy screensavers with recent macOS versions? Thanks & Regards, Tata Chaitanya

macOS Sonoma Lock Screen with SFAutorizationPluginView is not hiding the macOS desktop

On Sonoma beta 7, if system.login.screensaver is updated to use “authenticate-session-owner-or-admin”, and then Lock Screen is not hiding the macOS Desktop. Step1. Update system.login.screensaver authorizationdb rule to use “authenticate-session-owner-or-admin”( to get old SFAutorizationPluginView at Lock Screen ). Step 2. Once the rule is in place after logout and login, now click on Apple icon and select “Lock Screen”. Even after selecting Lock Screen, complete macOS Desktop is visible with no control for the user to unlock the screen. To gain access we have to restart the MAC.
