Re: Where is the authentication data saved?



I believe that information is stashed in your account's Keychain and is an entry named "Apple Remote Desktop". Were you able to recover your Keychain from your backup?

Thanks

Hi all,

My MacBookPro just suffered a harddrive meltdown, so I restored from a
TimeMachine backup into another MBP.  Most of my data is back, but I'm
having some difficulties with ARD.

Needing to re-enter the serial number was a surprise (but no big deal), but
after I got it running again, it remembers my computer groups, but doesn't
have authentication information stored for any of them.


I re-restored ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist again from
a separate backup source, but that didn't bring them back.


Yes, I could re-enter my credentials for all the clients, but I'd rather not
if there's another file I could restore. Anybody know which file stores the
logins and passwords for my managed clients?
