I'm trying to adjust the restrictions for external media, and running into a bit of a pickle. Settings follow...
<dict>
<key>blankcd</key>
<array>
<string>authenticate</string>
<string>eject</string>
</array>
<key>blankdvd</key>
<array>
<string>authenticate</string>
<string>eject</string>
</array>
<key>cd</key>
<array/>
<key>disk-image</key>
<array>
<string>authenticate</string>
<string>read-only</string>
</array>
<key>dvd</key>
<array/>
<key>harddisk-external</key>
<array>
<string>authenticate</string>
<string>read-only</string>
</array>
<key>harddisk-internal</key>
<array/>
</dict>
The settings for cd, dvd, blankcd, and blankdvd all work fine. The options for disk-image and disk-external are where I run into trouble - namely, no authentication prompts. It just goes straight to read-only. I don't have access to the MCX editor to see what options are available on OS X Server, so can anybody help me out here? Can I even do the two-step authenticate then read-only like I'm trying?

I am in the same boat. I read another post saying that it was an apple bug in 10.8.x. If this feature, through any means(MCX, config profile, script) does not seem to work. Since this doesnt work, I created scripts to remove kexts (Which get replaced in updates) and it makes things more difficult than they should be.

Luckily I'm not backed into the corner of having to replace the kexts yet (we have some leeway).
