cannot read “account name” from keychain using applescript












0














I am not able to read the "account name" from keychain using apple script.



this does not work:



tell app "Keychain Scripting" to get account of "app name"


I am able to read the password from keychain using the following:



local password
set password to do shell script ("security 2>&1 >/dev/null find-generic-password -gl " & quoted form of "app name" & " | cut -c 11-99 | sed 's/"//g'")


is there a documentation on which commands to use for keychain scripting?
