+7Is there a way to verify a user enters the correct password and if they don't prompt for it again. I am making a Apple Script to enable FileVault for the logged in user. So I have a AppleScript that pop-ups a dialog box asking the user for their password with hidden text and I store that to a variable. I need to somehow to check if the password they entered their is correct and if its not, prompt the user to try again.
Thanks!

Here is how I check with dscl (in bash):
passDSCLCheck=`dscl /Local/Default authonly $User $Pass; echo $?`
if [ "$passDSCLCheck" -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Password OK for $User"
fi

+5I wonder if there is a way to validate a AD password
password ok
or
password not ok
I need to have a script run bases on if the password is correct and if the type password is not correct then to fail the script
