saving eppc username and passwords??

So I’m working in a home automation program called Indigo, which is pretty cool. One of the tasks is for the server to play iTunes on a remote mac on the LAN.

I’m about 99% of the way there, but whenever the command is run after a re-start, the server asks for authorization… so I have to manually enter the password, and selecting “add to keychain” doesn’t work across re-starts of the server.

The line of the apple script is

property remote_IP : "eppc://192.168.5.17"

Everything I’ve looked up says that what is below should work, but it doesn’t.

property remote_IP : "eppc://username:password@192.168.5.17"

I’m always asked for the password the first time after a restart that this event happens.

I’m not a script expert, but have managed to cobble together bits and pieces of code to get done what I need, but this last part remains a problem. Some sources say this is broken in 10.9, and if so, I can make do. But if there is a known workaround, I’d love to see about implementing into my current script.

Thanking you in advance.
