Super Update Service and --auth-delete-all

[reuven-cohen]

We are seeing issues with Super 5.0 and 5.1.0-rc3 when trying to run 'super --auth-delete-all'
Super Update Service appears to be untouched.

We are currently running Tahoe 26.2 and 26.3 systems.

Without any details (like super.log files showing an attempt to delete the account), there isn't anything I can help with.

After running the command.

sudo super --auth-delete-all

I see the following in the Super.log file

Super Update Service still has an entry in the Keychain.

I had updated Super from v5.0 to v5.1 and am working on updating the config profile per the errors above.

Looks like removing the Custom Display Accessory Type entry removed the error and re-running 'sudo super --auth-delete-all' finally worked.

You have too many errors in your options... if this happens then it never gets too the code that removes old authentication.

Also there is a newer release than what your testing.
