macOS passing user supplied info to persistent store

Hey, I working on a core data app for managing passwords and I have a custom atomic store to handle the file encryption and decryption transparently, however my problem is that the user needs to be able to supply a password that is used to decrypt the store file when the application starts up and it seems that the persistent store gets loaded and processed before I have a chance to do that to do panel/sheet.

I'm using bindings so I'm guessing that might be a factor in it with the persistent store coordinator being loaded automatically from the .xib file but I don't want to throw away bindings entirely just to do this.

Anyone have any ideas how this can be done?

- (void)makeWindowControllers {
	//custom subclass of windowcontroller
	MyWindowController *winControl = [[MyWindowController alloc] init];
	[self addWindowController:winControl];//retain count +1
	[winControl release];
}

- (void)makeWindowControllers {

//do what you have to do before loading the .xib file

//custom subclass of windowcontroller
	MyWindowController *winControl = [[MyWindowController alloc] init];
	[self addWindowController:winControl];//retain count +1
	[winControl release];
}

That sounds like it works but the only problem is, its not a document based application and I wasn't able to find anything similar in NSApplication (that and I don't know where else to look for it, lol)
