Thanks for making this available. I just tried Keychain Minder in one of our labs and it worked very well, except that many students did not understand the message. They needed a fair bit of support to work out which passwords were involved, why they did not match, and what action to take. Ideally I would like to be able to customise the message and the logo in the dialog box so that they were more site specific.

This has always been a very useful app. It solves the problem of an un-synced Keychain in just right (and secure) way.

Would you consider adding another field for verifying the new password? I.e. the Keychain Minder screen would look like:
-----
(Some Text)
Old Password:
New Password:
Verify New Password:
(New Keychain) (Ignore) (Change)
-----
If you change your password in Keychain Access you get a similar prompt... Keychain Minder is a great utility. Thanks!

Not that it matters, but this crashes immediately on a G3. Surely it is just an issue of an unchecked compiler option... dyld: incompatible cpu-subtype Jun 25 10:12:38 localhost crashdump[10645]: Keychain Minder crashed Jun 25 10:12:39 localhost crashdump[10645]: crash report written to: /Users/tcj/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Keychain Minder.crash.log

Hey all,

We're trying to use Keychain Minder for the first time for our staff deployment ... but unfortunately it's only half working. It notices when the login keychain no longer unlocks at login but it doesn't allow users to update it. It prints the message "Your new password does not match your login password. Please try again."

I've checked the messages it logs to console and it doesn't get much more specific than what is printed to the GUI:
9/30/09 11:32:32 AM Keychain Minder[13729] Checking for locked login keychain
9/30/09 11:32:32 AM Keychain Minder[13729] Login keychain is locked.
9/30/09 11:32:45 AM Keychain Minder[13729] Begin changing password
9/30/09 11:32:45 AM Keychain Minder[13729] Authentication failed.

I've tried having it kicked off by the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginitems.plist vs. /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginitems.plist wondering if that was the problem.

We are authenticating using kerberos but our kerberos server is NOT the same as our LDAP server ... could that possibly be causing some issue?

Anyways I'm not sure of what Keychain Minder is doing to confirm that the login password and new login keychain password are the same but it's obviously getting hung up there.

It sure would be nice to use it as I support about 50 staff and growing in my IT department and this would be wonderful to have it working!!!

just an FYI - I just tested this in Snow Leopard 10.6.1, and it appears to work flawlessly!

Thanks - this is a tool I've needed - my Mac users keep changing their AD password in Citrix dialogs or VMs, instead of in the Mac environment as I keep instructing :)
