All security related API are in the Security Framework(s).

You do not have control of what to user enter in this dialog, its main 
purpose is to create some "rights" and return them to you if the user 
is allow to use them.

Usually this dialog is automatically displayed when you query some 
authorizaton. The cocoa way to do this is to use the "SFAuthorization" 
class from SecurityFoundation framework.

What do you want to do exactly with this dialog ?
