How to update the lock icon and text on the initial unlock Screen with SFAutorizationPluginView.
Step1. Update system.login.screensaver authorizationdb rule to use “authenticate-session-owner-or-admin”( to get old SFAutorizationPluginView at Lock Screen ). Here I will use my custom authorization plugin. Step 2. Once the rule is in place, logout and login, now click on Apple icon and select “Lock Screen”. Is there a way programmatically to update the Lock Icon and the test getting displayed on the first Unlock screen? When I write a custom authorisation plug-in, I am getting control of the text fields and any consecutive screen I add from there on. But all I want is to update the lock icon and text fields on 1st unlock display itself. Can you please suggest how I can achieve this? Here is the screenshot with marked areas I am looking control for.

Screensaver is not coming when system.login.screensaver is updated to use authenticate-session-owner-or-admin
On recent macOS versions(Sonoma or previous), if system.login.screensaver is updated to use “authenticate-session-owner-or-admin” then fancy screensaver is not coming up, instead we are seeing only black screensaver ( black screen). Note: Observed we are getting fancy screensavers with this setting on macOS BigSur. Can you please let us know if this is an intentional change from macOS or we have any settings to enable to get fancy screensavers with recent macOS versions? Thanks & Regards, Tata Chaitanya

macOS Sonoma Lock Screen with SFAutorizationPluginView is not hiding the macOS desktop
On Sonoma beta 7, if system.login.screensaver is updated to use “authenticate-session-owner-or-admin”, and then Lock Screen is not hiding the macOS Desktop. Step1. Update system.login.screensaver authorizationdb rule to use “authenticate-session-owner-or-admin”( to get old SFAutorizationPluginView at Lock Screen ). Step 2. Once the rule is in place after logout and login, now click on Apple icon and select “Lock Screen”. Even after selecting Lock Screen, complete macOS Desktop is visible with no control for the user to unlock the screen. To gain access we have to restart the MAC.
