I have used functionality of changing user's password programmatically using the OpenDirectory framework. Once the password is updated successfully, can be use this password for Login sessions and authentication wherever required. But the same password is failing authenticate with Local Authentication Framework that is with LAContext and prefers always older password. Even restarting machine won't work. Changing current user's password using below method - do { let node = try ODNode(session: ODSession.default(), type: ODNodeType(kODNodeTypeLocalNodes)) let user = try node.record(withRecordType: kODRecordTypeUsers, name: NSUserName(), attributes: nil) try user.changePassword(currentPassword, toPassword: newPassword) print("Password changed successfully") } catch var error { print(error) } Once password is updated, then trying to authenticate password with LAContext using, let context = LAContext() context.evaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthentication, localizedReason: "AuthenticationMessage".localized()) { success, error in DispatchQueue.main.async { completion(success, error) } print("authentication error = (String(describing: error?.localizedDescription))") } It won't accept the updated password. Any idea how to solve this problem?

I want to get the network-name (domain-name) on my Mac-Machine. Where iin the Settings does this domain name gets configured. I refer to this page which talks about computer name and host name, I could find where my hostname is present (Settings->General->Sharing->local host name) but not anything related to the network-name (local -domain) . Even try to fetch this info using the linux api to getdomainname, api call succeeded but it returns Nothing. #include <iostream> #include <unistd.h> #include <limits.h> #include <cstring> int main() { char domainname[255]; // Get the domain name if (getdomainname(domainname, 255) != 0) { std::cout << "Error getting domain name" << std::endl; return 1; } std::cout << "Domain name: " << domainname << std::endl; return 0; } Output Domain name: I even came across Search-Domains, Does it have anything to do with the network-name (domain name of the machine)?
