not quite sure about the actual process order.

I don't understand your question fully. You have to be more specfic.

All I can say is that you usually can not query the password from a
keychain, nor can you ask the system to let the user enter his
credentials and then get the result back. You can only ask the system
to execute a program by letting the system ask the user for an admin
login. For that there's RB code to find (AuthExecute or something like
that).

And I finally just got that figured. The KeyChain is not a system password keeper, but an application "secure items" keeper.

Lots of test builds...

Thanks for validating what I discovered.


Tim,

If you use the MBS plugins, he's got a class for handling this connection:
