Hello,

Is it possible to collect the user name/password from a custom-made window, can I feed the info to Authorization Services without displaying the standard Apple dialog?

Thanks,

The headers suggest you can do this by creating the AuthorizationRef with an environment containing kAuthorizationEnvironmentUsername and kAuthorizationEnvironmentPassword. I can't say for certain whether this would work, and it's certainly Panther-only if it does. Why would you want to do this anyway? One of the points of the Apple-standard dialog is that users at least know they're entering information into a secure program instead of some password sniffer.
