Description Alexander Morozov 2016-07-12 17:41:16 UTC

Let`s assume we use polkit-qt-1 library for authorization in our daemon.
The daemon receives user requests and try to authorize users calling Authority::checkAuthorization.
If two Authority::checkAuthorization are called before receiving Authority::checkAuthorizationFinished then the daemon can not determine who was authorized on receiving Authority::checkAuthorizationFinished.
IMHO PolkitQt1::Authority class interface should be changed.

Reproducible: Always

I also stumbled upon this and it is really strange that such obvious feature isn't implemented yet. With current API it is impossible to check for two different authentications in parallel.
