You don't call dbus_bus_register on the server end


Do you connect to a d-bus bus ( daemon ) or did you write your own
server ?


Authorization in the bus is done by setting a policy in the
configuration file ( see the system.conf )

If you wrote your own server you have to register a checking function
with the connection.

allow_user_function (DBusConnection *connection,

                     void           *data)
{
  if(uid == <your userid>) 
    return TRUE;
  return FALSE;
}


dbus_connection_set_unix_user_function (connection,
                                          allow_user_function,
                                          NULL, NULL);
