[gck] Live want to access keychain (b19)

Post by bendybones » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:57 pm

This may not be abug but I'm not sure why it happened, so just in case:
Just nstalled b19.
No changes to my system since previous beta that I can recall
And got this message
The "Live" software on your computer has changed and wants to wants to access your keychain. Do you want to allow this?

This change is permanent and affects all keychain items used by this software

Details
Changed Process: Live
Application: Live
I clicked Deny
b19 opened and installed Lessons 8.0
I quit Live
(Unfortunately, fresh from bed I didn't think to create a bug report snapshot first)
Opened Live again
Same keychain message
Clicked Deny again
Then this happened

These may be 2 separate issues but I've included the link as I felt they may be related.

Edit:
I have not yet deleted the b16 folder from my Applications folder in case it is of any significance.

Live can now log straight into your user account on Ableton.com. So going online will always be one of the first things that Live tries.

Hi bendybones,

Live now stores you access data for authentication with www.ableton.com (used for Share and unlocking) in your accounts's keyring. When you upgrade your application Mac OS X's keyring protection detects this and warns you about a possibly bad application. Since you knew what you do (you installed a new Live version, right?) you can safely allow the access. Nothing bad will happen, if you don't. You only will be asked for your account name and password every time you access Share or try to unlock.

I hope this clearifies this.
Gregor

BTW. The greyed menus you reported in http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=110322 have nothing to do with the keychain access.
