In the past, on OS X 9.8.5, I’ve used a KM macro to enter my Mac password in the Authenticate dialog box which sometimes appears with some actions in the Finder (e.g., when changing permissions for a folder). The macro was triggered when the application SecurityAgent (in Core Services) was activated. In Mavericks this no longer works. There is a process named SecurityAgent which appears in Activity Monitor when the dialog pops up, but it doesn’t appear to be an application. Is there anyway to automate the response to the authentication dialog?
