SANDRO NOEL  Thank you Mark!

I had fun adding the features you asked for!  
(Version 2.0)

SANDRO NOEL  I was using the system prompted dialogue before, and you complained about it.

There is not much many ways for me to control the system dialogue from the API that is available.

If you know of a way to do it, you should let me know.

Thanks.

WUFFE  Well I'm no expert in your BM codebase - but I guess that you along with your own username/password dialog implementation must have changed something "else" around the handling of empty passwords (ok admitted this is unclear).

What I saw with BM 1.9 was the correct username/password dialog box - but the wrong username filled out. In parallel with that background threads seemed to be attempting to login with the correct username but an empty password - after 3 attempts in less than a second my account was blocked before I could fillout the username/password dialog.

(I admit) without knowing your code I'm just guessing :-)

Kind regards Uffe

SANDRO NOEL  Uffe

The only thing that has changed and the reason why you do not see the threads asking for a password is that before the mounting threads get launched, BM will check if any of the mounts require a password.

It will ask for that password and then pass it along to the mounting procedure as needed.

The password will remain in RAM for the duration of the execution of the program. once BM is closed the passwords are lost they are not saved to disk.

This procedure allows me to mount multiple shares from the same host with the same username/password.

as opposed to asking the system to validate it against the server and THEN ask the user for the password.

Since BM is a multi threaded application, up to 4 mounts can happen at the same time

thus causing the system to ask to 4 passwords at once even if they are for the same host. witch is not a desired situation for the users.

NOTE: This password scheme, was developed expressly for you, since no one else has mentioned the need for it. If you have now lost trust in BM because the password dialogue is a custom dialogue, I do not know what to say else than, do what you think is best, even if it means discontinuing the use of BM.

Best Regards.

WUFFE  I think you misunderstood me. I'm still happy a happy BM user and i do thrust your app. I just meant that the os dialog could save you from specialized implementation - but apparetly you've already tried that and it did not work as I expected it to.

Kind regards Uffe :-)

  
(Version 1.9.2)

SANDRO NOEL  You are Welcome, Thank you for the review it is very appreciated!!!

P.S. : I created Bonjour mounter for that exact reason in the first place :) i had the same need on multiple computers.  
(Version 1.9.2)

SANDRO NOEL  Oups.... will update.  
(Version 1.9.1)

SANDRO NOEL  It should. unless you have something different from all the other users.  
(Version 1.9)

SANDRO NOEL  Check the preferences.

There is a login item, and when BM launches, it tries to mount all the defined mounts.  
(Version 1.9)

MIKAELF  My reply as a new post...in short. Nothing is mounted at login. When I select something to be mounted it works.  
(Version 1.9)

SANDRO NOEL  Ok, I'm looking into it, but you realize that I do not have access to a SecureID server to test this out, so I'm pretty much on a trail and error here.

and well, you are the trail :)  
(Version 1.9)

SANDRO NOEL  i'm working on a release, if you would like to test it before i release it, please send me a mail @ bonjour.mounter@gmail.com  
(Version 1.9)

WUFFE  I guess that you should be able to (sort of) recreeate the problem if you try to mount from BM with a wrong username/password against a smb share ?

BTW: I'll send you an email - I'd be happy to do some testing for you :-)  
(Version 1.9)

SANDRO NOEL  You can post your logs here.

I check this site many times a day.  
(Version 1.9)

SANDRO NOEL  By the way AFP mount points are case sensitive.  
(Version 1.9)

CIRCLEDEV  Ok Fixed it.

it seems that BM does not like having empty name and password fields.

As I have my server sharing through the guest account to my household this is a problem.

BM works fine and mounts ok when username and password is entered.

Can you please add a checkbox on the edit share panel to use guest login for the particular share.

Thanks for the great work.

Apologies if I was ranting before.  
(Version 1.9)

SANDRO NOEL  BM will prompt for login information if the username and/or password box are empty.

but that procedure is left to the Operating system, it is not past of BM.  
(Version 1.9)

CIRCLEDEV  Ok but when I access the server from the finder it says logged in as guest and I have no dialog asking for username and password.

There is nothing in my keychain for the server.

When I mount the share at login with the finder there is no username/password dialog.

Also when presented with a username/password dialog I can choose guest which then mounts the share.

Why cant BM do this if the finder can?

Thanks  
(Version 1.9)

SANDRO NOEL  Finder has functionality that are not accessible to developers...  
(Version 1.9)

SANDRO NOEL  One core component I use is available only on 10.5

I would have to rework the whole mounting procedures to do it.

But it could be done, maybe in the future is there is enough demand for it.  
(Version 1.9)

SANDRO NOEL  Delete the entry for witch you want to have a prompt and reenter it WITHOUT any password or username.  
(Version 1.7)

SANDRO NOEL  1.9 should fix it....
