Authenticating multiple Installers with one prompt


  • Subject: Authenticating multiple Installers with one prompt

I'm writing a utility for my school that basically mimics Apple's Software Update in some respects for registration on our network. (No outgoing connections are allowed until we've verified that the user is up-to-date on security patches. This disables Software Update.)

All I do now is download the needed updates and throw them into Installer. But I'd really like it if the user only had to authenticate once for the whole she-bang instead of once for each package. Is this possible with the public APIs?
