I'm not sure if this is a Mindvision Installer VISE question or an
AppleScript question, but thought I'd ask here first:
I've got a Mindvision Installer VISE installer that I've created that has the
"OS X Authentification" checkbox turned on (meaning that the user gets
prompted to enter their master-account username password before beginning the
install process). This installer then runs a series of unix commands under
that authenticated account. Anything running in VISE after that point
automatically gets run in this new authenticated state.
Things go great, until I run an AppleScript in OS X from the installer that
passes some variables to a unix shell command (Using the AEShell1.0b2 OSX
Power Addition to do the launching). Apparently AppleScript is not aware of
the Authentification login that VISE has set up, and my unix commands run
from AppleScript re-prompt the user for their administrator
username/password. My goal is to make it so that the user only has to log in
as administrator once, at the beginning of the install process. Is there a
way to keep VISE, Applescript, and AEShell playing nicely together in terms
of OS X Authentification? It's not clear to me which component is the
culprit here.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
