Question

Screensaver interface


Dadado

 

On some of our managed Macs, users notice a screensaver password prompt that runs indefinitely with an  old interface —even after entering the correct password, the dialog reappears immediately. 

This doesn’t happen on all Macs, only on a subset of our fleet.

 

Investigation:

an affected Mac using:

security authorizationdb read system.login.screensaver

value: authenticate-session-owner

my question : Can the authorization database change the Mac unlock interface?
