Thread: [Rubycocoa-talk] password authentification ???

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

i need to do a user authentification within a small RubyCocoa app.

i'd like to save the password in a prefs file (yaml for ex)

someone had experience with that little thing ?

why not use the keychain / authentication framework instead of saving the
password in a textfile?

assuming the proper frameworks are exposed via BS, i'm sure there are
keychain/authentication examples on developer.apple.com but you'd of course
need to make the usual conversion to ruby.

seems to be very much complicated ???

BridgeSupport - sorry :0)

depending if you need to temporarily authenticate the user for admin access
or keychain, you would use different tools.

this might be of help
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Security/Conceptual/SecureCodingGuide/Articles/SecuritySvcs.html

and maybe even this (you could generate bridge support files, embed them in
the framework and embed the framework in your app):

nah, it just points to a third party objc framework that wraps keychain
access - you could take the framework, build BS files for it, embed it in
your application and then off you go. i think the article is specific to
using it in python but it could be used in ruby too no?
