Keychain Access - 'kcproxy'

Hey Everyone,

Not sure if I am posting this in the right topic list so I apologize for that.

I have had my Mac for a little over a year, however, I have not tinkered with it too much on a utility side. So, I was at my parents house and I connected to the wireless. I needed the password to the network to connect another device. I used Keychain Access to do this. When I hit show password, I was prompted that "kcproxy wants to use your confidential information stored in "NetworkName" in your keychain." Do you want to allow access?

My question is - what is kcproxy? Is it anything I have to worry about if I hit allow?

Thank you for any help on this issue.

It's the component of the Keychain Access application which performs functions not allowed to regular or administrator accounts.
