I will just preface my question by saying that I am a complete

developing with Cocoa.
We have a current solution to allow staff to gain Remote Access to
their
emails and data via Citrix. I created an Installer using NSIS for
Windows
users that would basically install Registry Keys providing the user
with
part of the required authentication.
However, we have since been asked if we could offer a Mac version.
As I am a
Mac user myself, I was also keen to get this running. I wondered if
someone
could tell me what the equivalent is in OS X to store the same data
that is
held in the Windows Registry Keys? Or even if this is possible.
As far as I could figure myself, I was thinking that this would
need to be
stored in the current user Preferences folder.
Close - you'll want to use NSUserDefaults, which does in fact store
its data in ~/Library/Preferences. But, the location and format of
the stored data is an implementation detail you shouldn't need to
worry about. (Just like on Windows, where you go through an API to
get/set registry keys, rather than having to know anything about how
and where they're being stored.)
Have a look at:
<file:///Developer/ADC Reference Library/documentation/Cocoa/
Conceptual/UserDefaults/index.html>
Or online:

UserDefaults/index.html>
