I am developing an Authorization plugin for macOS that should be invoked when a user unlocks their device from the lock screen. Based on advice from the other threads in these forums, I have understood that:
- The plugin needs to use
SFAuthorizationPluginView - The auth db entries to modify are
system.login.screensaverandauthenticate
I found the NameAndPassword sample and after making some tweaks to it was able to get it to work from screensaver unlock.
I am trying to add Webview-based authentication to the plugin, but have not had any success. The plugin window's width does not change (though the height does) and only a small portion of the HTML gets rendered. Is Webview-based authentication supported with SFAuthorizationPluginView? Are there any alternatives?

If that’s the most advanced thing you’re working from then I’d like you to get in touch privately. Please open a DTS code-level support request to facilitate that. Make sure to reference this DevForums thread so that I understand the context.

That’s not something we support. Web views are too complex to work reliably in the odd environment in which authorization plug-ins are executed. You’ll need to rethink your plans here.
Share and Enjoy
