Hi ,I am currenlty using sfauthorizationpluginview. The result is always nil for the URLData on calling the webservice on ScreenSaver or Lock Screen while the same code is working fine on accessing the login window .The issue is only lying with catalina. tested mojvae it was working fine.Code i am using :let session = URLSession.shared let ds = DispatchSemaphore( value: 0 ) let task = session.dataTask(with: theRequest, completionHandler: { data, response, error -> Void in AppLogger.writeLog(toFile: "Url Data from Task: \(String(describing: data))", with:Debug) if(data != nil) { let httpResponse = response as! HTTPURLResponse statusCode = httpResponse.statusCode if let urlData = data { responseData = String(data: urlData, encoding: .utf8) ?? "" } if(responseData.isEmpty) { AppLogger.writeLog(toFile: "Response data is empty.", with:Error) } } else { statusCode = 408 } // do my thing..., then unblock main thread ds.signal() }) task.resume() // block thread until semaphore is signaled ds.wait()same is happening on using the NSURLConnection.sendSynchronousRequest()

<body><p>I have a user in Active Directory named "alice" who is a Domain Admin. This AD is bound to mac machine.<br />I have logged in successfully with this user into my MAC machine and a mobile account has been created.<br />Now, from the Active Directory, if i make the user "alice" as non-admin, then how will this change get reflected in the mobile account?<br />Is there a way to sync between mobile account and Active Directory ?<br />What I see is that password change is getting synced with AD but not this change.<br />Please help<br /><br /><br /><br /></p> <p></p></body>

How to determine whether an Active Directory user is admin or not via code in swift ?Currently i am doing it this way which doesnot look correct. Please suggest a better approach.
let session = ODSession()
let node = try ODNode(session: session, type: ODNodeType(kODNodeTypeAuthentication)) let query = try ODQuery( node: node, forRecordTypes: kODRecordTypeUsers, attribute: nil, matchType: ODMatchType(kODMatchAny), queryValues: nil, returnAttributes: [ kODAttributeTypeRecordName, kODAttributeTypeEMailAddress ], maximumResults: 0 ) let records = try query.resultsAllowingPartial(false) as! [ODRecord] for record in records { let currRecordName = record.recordName if(currRecordName == username) { // 'dsAttrTypeStandard:AppleMetaNodeLocation': '/Local/Default' for Local user // 'dsAttrTypeStandard:AppleMetaNodeLocation': '/Active Directory/ABCD/abcd.in' for Domain user let localOrDomainUser = try? record.values(forAttribute: "dsAttrTypeStandard:AppleMetaNodeLocation"); let localOrDomainUserString = localOrDomainUser?[0] as! String if(localOrDomainUserString == "/Local/Default") { continue // Skip local user.. this is the case when we have both local and domain user with same name, but user has created a local user in the name "domainname\username" } let groupsAny = try? record.values(forAttribute: "memberOf"); let groups = groupsAny as? [String]; for currGroup in groups ?? [] { /* --- CN=Group Policy Creator Owners,CN=Users,DC=abcd,DC=ad,DC=def,DC=com --- CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=abcd,DC=ad,DC=def,DC=com --- CN=Enterprise Admins,CN=Users,DC=abcd,DC=ad,DC=def,DC=com --- CN=Schema Admins,CN=Users,DC=abcd,DC=ad,DC=def,DC=com --- CN=Administrators,CN=Builtin,DC=abcd,DC=ad,DC=def,DC=com */ var dnNames = currGroup.components(separatedBy: ",") // CN=Domain Admins if(dnNames.count > 0) { var groupNames = dnNames[0].components(separatedBy: "=") // Domain Admins let group = groupNames[1] if(group == "Domain Admins" || group == "Enterprise Admins" || group == "Schema Admins" || group == "DnsAdmins" || group == "Administrators") { return true } } } break } }

Is there a way to figure out from code if a user account is actually a mobile account or active directory account or local user account (non-mobile) on Mojave?Through following code i can distinguish between local user and AD user via attribute
// 'dsAttrTypeStandard:AppleMetaNodeLocation': '/Local/Default' for Local user
// 'dsAttrTypeStandard:AppleMetaNodeLocation': '/Active Directory/ABCD/abcd.in' for Domain userfunc checkForLocalUser(name: String) -> Bool { var records = [ODRecord]() let odsession = ODSession.default() do { let node = try ODNode.init(session: odsession, type: ODNodeType(kODNodeTypeAuthentication)) let query = try ODQuery.init(node: node, forRecordTypes: kODRecordTypeUsers, attribute: kODAttributeTypeRecordName, matchType: ODMatchType(kODMatchEqualTo), queryValues: name, returnAttributes: kODAttributeTypeAllAttributes, maximumResults: 0) records = try query.resultsAllowingPartial(false) as! [ODRecord] } catch { let errorText = error.localizedDescription return false } let isLocal = records.isEmpty ? false : true return isLocal}Not sure this is the correct way to achieve this. Also, I am not able to figure out whether the user is a mobile account user or not?Please help.

I am trying to extend the login screen in MacOSX High Sierra/Mojave. As I found out, this is possible byimplementing a new authentication plugin and install it in to the authorization database.I've downloaded the NameAndPassword example (https://github.com/skycocker/NameAndPassword) which shows how toimplement the interface and overwrite/extend the SFAuthorizationPluginView.Current Project output is a bundle which is invoked on system login. Custom login screen appears fine on Login/Logout, Sleep & Lock/Unlock by modifying system.login.console and system.login.screensaver plistBut the custom login screen is not appearing in case of Fast user switching mode.

I am trying to create a custom logger for using it inside NameAndPassword Plugin https://github.com/skycocker/NameAndPasswordLog file not getting generated with SFAuthorizationPluginViewHave tried libraries like: Log4swift, CocoaLumberjack and also followed below linkhttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/7271528/how-to-nslog-into-a-fileoverride NSLog with a custom function using a macro. Example, add this class to your project:// file Log.h#define NSLog(args...) _Log(@"DEBUG ", _FILE_,LINE,PRETTY_FUNCTION,args);@interface Log : NSObjectvoid _Log(NSString *prefix, const char *file, int lineNumber, const char *funcName, NSString *format,...);@EnD// file Log.m#import "Log.h"@implementation Logvoid _Log(NSString *prefix, const char *file, int lineNumber, const char *funcName, NSString *format,...) {va_list ap;va_start (ap, format);format = [format stringByAppendingString:@"\n"];NSString *msg = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",format] arguments:ap];va_end (ap);fprintf(stderr,"%s%50s:%3d - %s",[prefix UTF8String], funcName, lineNumber, [msg UTF8String]);[msg release];}@EnDIssue:It is a .bundle project which is invoked on system login. Log file is not getting generated and no error.Also, noticed that using NSLog generates system log but only during sleep & lock/unlock mode, not in Login modeHave someone faced this issue before?
