# ES_EVENT_TYPE_AUTH_UIPC_CONNECT

An identifier for a process that requests permission from the operating system to connect a UNIX domain socket.

```
var ES_EVENT_TYPE_AUTH_UIPC_CONNECT: es_event_type_t { get }
```

## Discussion

This identifier corresponds to the [`es_events_t`](/documentation/EndpointSecurity/es_events_t) union member [`uipc_connect`](/documentation/EndpointSecurity/es_events_t/uipc_connect), which has the type [`es_event_uipc_connect_t`](/documentation/EndpointSecurity/es_event_uipc_connect_t).

Endpoint Security operates only on UNIX domain sockets, not sockets in general.
