Scpt

The following script uses UI events to to click through dialog boxes and enter server information in the Directory Utility. This script requires that a key (named "sysPrefsUnlock") is added to the "login" keyring so that system preferences can be unlocked without entering a password or storing the password in the script. It's also important to note that the "login" keychain must be unlocked when the script runs, otherwise it will give a password prompt. The script does not update /etc/hosts.

To add the "sysPrefsUnlock" key to the keychain:

1. Open Keychain Access (can be found using Finder)
2. Click the "login" keychain on the left under "Keychains"
3. Unlock the keychain
4. Hit the little '+' sign at the bottom of the window
5. Name the Keychain Item Name "sysPrefsUnlock", Account Name "labstaff", and use the labstaff login/Deepfreeze password for the password
6. Click add
7. Leave the "login" keychain unlocked

The script:

set pass to getPW()
set unlocked to 0

on getPW()
	do shell script "security 2>&1 >/dev/null find-generic-password -gl \"sysPrefsUnlock\""
	return (text 12 thru 18 of result)
end getPW
