How to install an authorization plug-in in OS X El Capitan?

From the first page of Apple's Documentation on Authorization Plug-ins:

To install an authorization plug-in, you write the plug-in using the API described in this document, [and] install the bundle in /System/Library/CoreServices/SecurityAgentPlugins.

However, in El Capitan /System/ seems to be restricted, even with sudo. Is there a workaround for installing authorization plug-ins in El Capitan?

Solution

  • The new path for Security Agent Plugins, under El Capitan is

    /Library/Security/SecurityAgentPlugins

    It appears that the documentation needs updating.

    The new path is not so new and also exists in Yosemite (10.10)
