Polkit : org.gnome actions not enforcing the keep part of auth_admin_keep
Noticed on Debian 11 / G3.38
In /usr/share/polkit-1/actions
, org.gnome.something
actions don't enforce the keep
part of auth_admin_keep
.
I tested with org.gnome.controlcenter.user-accounts.administration
. Other Polkit actions (e.g., non-org.gnome
actions) enforce that keep
part, so it seems it's really a Gnome related issue.
Expected behavior :
<allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active>
should exempt the user from re-authenticating for 5 minutes after a previous authentication
Current behavior :
The user needs always to authenticate, e.g. auth_admin_keep
behaves like auth_admin
for org.gnome
actions
