Description Jacob Hunt 2017-10-09 19:35:54 UTC 
Description of problem:

Configure polkit to run the 'Application Installer' with permissions from a group based in Active Directory.  Doing so still, prompts for the root password to run the program.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable)

polkit-0.112-12.el7_3.x86_64
polkit-pkla-compat-0.1-4.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a pkla file to allow actions from a group based in Active Directory

Actual results:

The GUI still prompts for the root password. 

Expected results:

For the configured group to be allowed to run the programs without prompting for root's password.
