How to read connected wifi network password programetically in Mac

Hi,
       In my application, i want to read currently connected wifi network password programetically.
       Is there any way that i can use apple api's to read wifi network password.
       I feel there should be some way to read in Mac also, because windows exposes an api - WlanGetProfile, which returns complete profile of currently connected wifi network along with the password.
       So i want to know the similar api in Mac.
       I have gone throught he /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist - but i contains only ssid name only, no password is saved in this file.
       Can any one let me know about this.
With regards,
K.Thejonath.

Thanks for the info.
However i am able to read wifi password in Mac OSX.
It is possible making use of api's CWKeychainCopyPassword() & CWKeychainCopyEAPUsernameAndPassword() .
With regards,
K.Thejonath.

  • I forgot my wifi network password for iPad 2. Where do I find it? Can't seem to find it in user guide.

    Anyone know where I can find how to lookup my wifi network password in the user guide? I set it up so long ago I forgot it.

    I assume that you mean in your WiFi router user manual, because you won't find that information in the iPad manual user guide.
    See if this is of some help.

    Did not work.  I chose the 2° option of completely ersasing all networks.  After that when I found my network and put the password, I get the message "can´t connect to network".  I know that the password is correct because I connect with my PC it works.  What other suggestions do you have?

  • Wifi network passwords

    My iPad 3 will not remember my home wifi network password. Each time I disconnect it from my wifi, the next time I connect again I have to re-enter the password which is a pain!  My iPhones (both 3G and now 4s) have never done this -  I have never had to re-enter my password into the iphone after the first setup.  Any ideas please gratefully received!!

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • IPad 2, iPhone4 will not connect to wifi network. However, my Mac desktop connects perfectly. I can't figure out why?

    Hi, I cannot get my iPad 2, iPhone4 (nor husbands HTC One) to connect to my wifi network. However, my Mac desktop connects perfectly. On the other devices I just get an error message saying that Safari cannot connect to the internet. This has been going on for a few days so I've tried all the fixes I can find on the web (restarting modem/router, forgetting netork settings, etc), but nothing seems to work. I've done all the latest updates on my devices. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Csmo2013,
    Since multiple devices from different manufacturers are having the same issue, I think it would be a good idea to test the mobile devices on a different network to see if they work. That way you can isolate the issue to being with the router/modem or not. I see you have already restarted the router/modem, and forgot the network settings on the devices, but allow me to offer this article for assistance.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    This section in particular:
    Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
    If you are using a public or commercial network that requires a login or subscription, see this article for more information.
    Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap >.
    If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, see this article.
    If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
    If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
    If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
    Cheers,

  • How to keep connection of network service in win8.1

    Dear sir / madam,
    i would like to ask how to keep connection of network service in win8.1, after i logout / switch user/ sleep.
    thanks

    Hi,
    Did you have any issue on your computer?
    The network is disconnection when you logged off the computer. This is expected behavior.
    The network is stayed connection when you switch the user.
    For sleep mode, check the following setting:
    right click the network device in Device Manager and go up to the top and hit
    Power Management. Then uncheck the box that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

  • Can't connect to wifi network - password problem?

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro C2D 2.16, but I can't get it to connect via airport to my wifi network at home. When I use the network setup assistant, i'm prompted to enter the WPA password, but then i get a message saying "password invalid"? If I try connecting through the Internet Connect window, it says: "there was an error joining the airport network"?
    After reading through the forums a bit, I tried changing the WPA password, changing to WEP, and even using the open setting, but my MBP still won't connect to my DSL router (Zoom X6 router). My other Windows laptop connects fine.
    This is my first Mac, and I'm a bit clueless regarding networking as well, so any advice is appreciated. BTW, I've got OSX 10.4.8 installed.
    Macbook Pro 2.16 Mhz C2D Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    I solved it! Well, not really - I just did a bit more searching on the forums and found someone else with the same problem - solution: Update the firmware's router, and now my MBP can connect properly, with WPA2.

  • How to extend a wifi network of third party router with TC 4th generation?

    After searching the communities for a while, I did not find a definitive answer on the following question:
    - I recently bought a 4th generation Time Capsule 2TB (MD0322/A), that I also want to use as an extension for our existing wifi network.
    - This wifi network is maintained by a Sitecom Wireless 300N XR Gigabit Router. Router is set to work over 2.4 GHz (B+G+N) because of several non-N-wifi devices in the network. The channel in use is currently 11.
    - This router provides so called WDS functionality, i.e. the ability for other wifi access points to act as a seamless extension of the basic wifi network (using the same SSID).
    - The security settings in the router are WPA2 Mixed, with a password in plain ASCII.
    - There seems to be no way to set different security levels for WDS-connections versus normal AP (access point) connections. If WDS is enabled, the security settings of the AP-mode are extended to the WDS connection.
    I have set the Sitecom router to enable WDS, and added the MAC-address of the TC in the configuration of this router.
    When configuring the Time Capsule, with Airport Utility 5.5.3, I can select the option to use TC to extend an existing network, and I can select the network of choice using the WPA personal or WPA/WPA personal security. However, the TC does not succeed in extending the network, and reports this back. If I manually configure the TC and select the network of choice, Airport Utility reports back that the selected network cannot be extended.
    I have read several times in other posts that Time Capsule can only connect to third party routers via WDS using WEP-authentication, but these posts were quite old. I was wondering if this is still the case, or that Apple has updated this functionality in newer versions of TC, and thus there could exist a trick to connect to a WDS using WPA.
    I really would appreciate suggestions

    Airport can not be used to extend a WiFi created by a non-Apple box.
    You need to turn off the radio in the router (shut down the existing WiFi).  Purchase TWO Airport Express units.  Connect one to the router with an Ethernet cable.  Configure that one as your primary WiFi network and then use the second Express as the extender.
    You need to locate the second Express where it receives a decent WiFi signal.  Too far away and it has nothing to extend.  Too close and it doesn't buy you anything.  Before you plug in the second Express, check to see where the primary WiFi disappears completely.  My personal WAG is that you want to locate the second Express 2/3 the distance to that point.
    If you use Airport Utility to configure the units, it's a snap.  In fact, if you configure the primary first and the extender second, AU will default to exactly the settings that you want.
    By the way, I refereed to the Express because it's less expensive than the Extreme and you didn't indicate any need for the Extreme features.
