Hi,

Why would you want to set this programmatically using MoreSCF? Wouldn't it be better to require the user to type in the password, and store it on the Keychain, rather than trying to do it for them? This would allow you to put the burden of your password security outside the code that is using MoreSCF. This means that you could change your password security policy without requiring code changes, among other things.

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure some machines using MoreSCF in order to access a secure Aiport network.

However, I'm getting big problems setting the kSCPropNetAirPortAuthPassword
How do I have to encode the password ? I've tried to "encode" it just like the PPP password, but to no avail.....

Does anybody have some code to encrypt the password for each of the possible "Wireless Security" types ? :
- WEP Password
- WEP 40/128-bit hex
- WEP 40/128-bit ascii

Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks,
Jirome
