Good afternoon all,
Looking for some insight on automating authorization dialog boxes for keychain certificate permission changes.

Currently I am developing a script to change the trust settings on several keychain certificates. The problem that exists is for each permissions change (from Use System Specified/Never Trust/Custom to Always Trust) it prompts the user for a password. This can get slightly annoying after the 7th or 8th time.

I have tried editing /etc/authorization, using if statements to see if the dialog exists and GUI script it (I believe impossible), and that is all I can come-up with.

Does anyone have any experience scripting these System Event authorization dialog boxes?

Not much help but a blog at <http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/170/usable-keychain-scripting > shows several people with the same problem WRT passwords.


FWIW, I didn't find Keychain Scripting that slow (10.5.7).
