            Bug ID: 1094143
           Summary: Desktop centric polkit ejabberdctl policy file,
                    prevents server use
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 20
         Component: ejabberd

Description of problem:

The shipped polkit policy is completely desktop-centric and expects that the
admin user is logged in a local session (ie: a seat in logind parlance, with a
monitor and keyboard).

This prevents DBus API use when logged in via ssh (and using pkttyagent as your
polkit agent) or via Cockpit.

The <allow_any> tag in polkit policy applies to non-local sessions. It should
be set to something other than 'no' unless the action directly affects hardware
of the login seat.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.1.13-7.fc20
