== Launch application from Desktop with password protection == |
|||
Assuming the application in question is ''Firefox'', this works using `bin` and `sbin` pair assisted by `consolehelper` that will verify the PAM restrictions. Note that every file created should match the name of the binary to be protected. |

# Move binary file |

mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/sbin/firefox |
|||
ln -s /usr/bin/consolehelper /usr/bin/firefox |

</nowiki></pre> |
|||
# Create a security file `/etc/security/console.apps/firefox` and add the following lines: |
|||
<pre><nowiki> |
|||
USER=<user> |
|||
PROGRAM=/usr/sbin/firefox |
|||
SESSION=True |
|||
</nowiki></pre> |
|||
'''User''' |
|||
The line user should literally write as `<user>`, it will ask a password for the current user. If you need to run the application as specific user, for example `foo` then change the literal string `<user>` by `foo`, or in some cases if need to restrict to only root, user `root` instead `<user>`. |

The {{png}} icon under {{/usr/share/pixmaps}} is too big, so you might want to link the small one from firefox installation to the icon folder. |
