I am using the following code to add an internet password to the
keychain:
NSURL * secureUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:url];
const char * cServiceName = [[secureUrl host] cString];
const char * cUsername = [username cString];
const char * cPath = "";
int portNumber = [secureUrl port] ? [[secureUrl port]
intValue] : 80;
const char * cPassword = [password cString];
SecKeychainItemRef itemRef;
OSStatus status;
SecKeychainAddInternetPassword(NULL,
strlen(cServiceName),
cServiceName,
0,
NULL,
strlen(cUsername),
cUsername,
strlen(cPath),
cPath,
portNumber,
kSecProtocolTypeHTTP,
kSecAuthenticationTypeDefault,
strlen(cPassword),
cPassword,
NULL);
Disregarding error handling and duplicates for the moment (this is
basically a simplified example), if I use the above code to add a
username and password for "http://rpc.bloglines.com/listsubs";, it
works correctly and adds an entry as expected. However if I then go
to this URL in Safari, I get prompted to enter my credentials again
and if I allow it to save those credentials to the keychain, I get a
second entry for this URL. As far as I can see, both entries look
identical apart from the Name and Comment field which I would have
assumed should not have mattered.
So why is Safari not picking up the keychain entry I originally created?
