Adding Keychain issue using Keychain Access - 10.3.9/eMac

I recently crashed and had to erase my 10.3.9 volume.
I'm trying to add a Keychain in a new system I installed, from a 10.3.9 library that I had backed up on a DVD, using Keychain Access. When I navigate to the Keychain folder on the DVD in the "add Keychain" dialog box, the Keychain in the folder is greyed out. The icon for that file on the DVD looks different too...it's a landscape orientation rectangle that says "exec" on it. The current Keychain has a generic document icon.
Thanks for any help

Hi
Did you export your key chain when you had the old system, or just backed it up?
I haven't tried this but what if you tried to copy the entire backed up copy of keychain over to its natural location on the new disk. It is owned by system, so you will be asked for password confirmation, but i think it is possible to do it in this rough way than through adding to the existing key chain (which it doesn't want to do)
And you will need to remove the existing one first as it may resist being overwritten.
This is speculative, but if you are brave it may successful.

Adding time issue using Date's getTime method

The following code is incorrectly adding 5 hours to the resultant time.
I need to be able to add dates, and this just isn't working right.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
long msecSum = 0 ;
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss.SSS") ;
try
Date date1 = dateFormat.parse("01:02:05.101") ;
Date date2 = dateFormat.parse("02:03:10.102") ;
System.out.println("Date1: " + dateFormat.format(date1));
System.out.println("Date2: " + dateFormat.format(date2));
msecSum = date1.getTime() + date2.getTime() ; // adds 5 hours !!!
System.out.println("Sum: " + dateFormat.format(msecSum)) ;
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Unable to process time values");
Results:
Date1: 01:02:05.101
Date2: 02:03:10.102
Sum: 08:05:15.203 // should be 3 hours, not 8

Dates shouldn't be added, but if you promise not to tell anyone:
long msecSum = 0 ;
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss.SSS") ;
dateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
try
Date date1 = dateFormat.parse("01:02:05.101") ;
Date date2 = dateFormat.parse("02:03:10.102") ;
System.out.println("Date1: " + dateFormat.format(date1));
System.out.println("Date2: " + dateFormat.format(date2));
msecSum = date1.getTime() + date2.getTime() ; // adds 5 hours !!!
System.out.println("Sum: " + dateFormat.format(msecSum)) ;
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Unable to process time values");Me? I would just parse the String "01:02:05.101" to extract hours,
minutes, seconds and milliseconds and do the math.

Using Keychain Access for applications other than Safari

I am trying to decide what browser I want to use. There are several things to take into consideration - bookmarks kept in sync between the browers and passwords. So far I have stayed with Safari because it works with Keychain. I tried to open Keychain and add Firefox to a web form password but it doesnt appear to work. As for the bookmark issue, I downloaded "Bookdog" and it looks nice - the latest version is supposed to sync the bookmarks between the two browsers but I dont see a setting or option for that (emailed for support on that issue).
So, is there a way I can use Keychain for all of my browsers?

The following blueprint (http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0406/819-6320.pdf) describes what you want, but its not wise to put user-applications on well known ports. It wouldn't be the first time that an application crashes when a networkscanner is hammering on well known ports to find known problems. Also most of the time people are trying to bind there application on a well known port to bypass firewalls for example. So if you're going to do this, then please configure IPF for example to limit the amount of IPs that can access that port.

Using "Keychain Access" as a Password Manager

Hello All,
While searching for a secure, trustworthy password manager I started wondering why I couldn't just use Keychain Access built into the Mac OS.
I've tried others and they're all nice in their own way but why not use what's already there?
Any suggestions, concerns or gotchas are welcomed.
Thanks in advance for your time.

You can also change the security settings on your keychain and/or create additional keychains. So you might have one keychain with especially secure settings for certain items and another with less secure settings for others. Moreover, you can adjust some settings for each item within a keychain, as well.
Or you can do what I do which is set up several keychains and then render the whole system entirely pointless by saving the passwords in your original keychain because you are terrified you'll forget them otherwise... (I don't actually know why I set them up this way...)
My login password is not my keychain password and my keychain locks after a minute, I require a password to wake from sleep/screensaver (though this does not always work properly) and sensitive items require re-entry of the keychain password anyway. So you can set things up so your keychain is more secure if you want to, at the price of some increased inconvenience.

ISSUE: Storing password for FTP account in Keychain when using Finder

Hi,
I recently needed to connect to an FTP server to put some photo files on a server. I found out that you can connect to a FTP server using Finder>Connect to server. I manage to connect to the FTP server by typing <username>@ftp.<anyserver>.<domain> and after it prompted me to enter a password it connects to the server. However, when I check "Store password in keychain" it *does not store the password in keychain*. Each time I want to connect to the server I have to retype the password. I used Keychain first aid to verify the chain, but it reports everything is OK. Even when I manually add a keychain entry using FTP server details and credentials, the challenge window reappears each time I connect to the FTP server.
Any suggestions on how to solve this or is it a bug as I noticed similar problems by other users using other applications (mail, safari)?
Thanks!

I am having this exact same issue. I am trying to setup Automator to go out and retrieve files from an FTP folder and everything is working perfectly except for the fact that I have enter my credentials each time even thought I have checked the box to remember the password. I have this issue on multiple ftp servers so I don't think it is something that is "server-specific"

Safari using Keychain ?s

I'm trying to understand the auto fill of internet forms.
Is there any site/article that explains for the curious this topic and
any security issues?
I think I understand that Safari uses Keychain to store IDs and
passwords and uses past history to fill in other information on internet
forms. Do I have that right?
But for Firefox, it appears that the IDs and passwords are saved by
Firefox not by Keychain. Do I have that right? If so, is it only Safari
that uses Keychain?
Thank you.

Hi,
But for Firefox, it appears that the IDs and passwords are saved by
Firefox not by Keychain. Do I have that right? If so, is it only Safari that uses Keychain?
Firefox was designed to be run on several different platforms like Windows, MacOSX, Linux, etc. from ideally the same source code. Windows doesn't have an in-built equivalent of the Keychain (I think) and I don't know about Linux, so for this particular instance it was probably easier for the developers to use their own standard scheme for storing passwords (rather than adding platform specific code).
Any Mac OS X application can access the Keychain if it uses the correct interfaces from it's code. Mail, iChat, Airport, .Mac, Camino (a browser that uses the same rendering engine as Firefox), MSN Messenger, Skype, Adium to name but a few all make use of the Keychain.

Why does a Login Error occur: "AFP Client wants to use Keychain Login"?

I have three people in my house with separate logins. We are currently using two desktop G4s which are networked via 1000 Base T. When the users login to one of the Macs, they must enter their passwords twice. Once for the AppleShare login and then a second time for the KeyChain Login.
If I attempt to unify the passwords, which are exactly the same, I will get a login error: "AFP Client wants to use Keychain Login". At this point, a dialogue box will appear looking for a password, but not accepting any kind of text at all. All I can do is reset the Mac, go into my admin login and remove the login.keychain file from the local Library folder to get back into the User account.
In my attempts to fix this, I have removed every preference file with the word "login" in it and re-logged in without success. I have also used the Keychain Access software to administer Keychain First Aid without success. Finally, I have deleted the keychain login in Keychain Access without success. I have done all of these separately and together without success.
This is only happening on one Mac. The Mac that has no files on it. All working files are stored on the other Mac and it does not have the same problem at all.
This is not a huge problem, but it is annoying. I would appreciate it if anybody knows anything about this and could shine some light on the situation.

Sorry about the delay from your last reply. I have been busy with work and studying for a licensing exam.
Anyway I tried the AppleJack Utility you suggested. It looked like it tidied up some things. But as for my particular issue, it did absolutely nothing.
Interestingly enough, you know when you aren't looking for something and that something just happens by accident? When I logged in the other day, I typed in the first login. The second dialogue came up immediately and I hit the cancel button instead of the OK button. When I was passed on to the Finder, the second login dialogue came up again. I typed in the password this time and checked the checkbox. When I relogged in, the problem vanished. I only waited this long to let you know to make sure the problem is gone and it is. I wish I would have thought of selecting the cancel button before. Sometimes solutions are simple like this one.
Thanks for your help.

Wi-Fi not connecting due to keychain issues

Here is an odd issue that has crept up a month or so after upgrading to Mavericks. When I put my MacBookPro8,1 to sleep or reboot the Wi-Fi will not connect automatically. It appears to try but then fails miserably. However, I go to the Wi-Fi menu item and can manually select my network and it will connect. As it is connecting I am displayed with a dialog titled, "Keychain Not Found" with text of "Keychain 'System' cannot be found to store 'HCC.'" HCC is the name of the secured network I am connecting to. The SSID is hidden, but obviously it is not an issue with Mavericks properly identifyng it. This is my office router, but the same issue happens at home with my secured router with the SSID broadcasting.
As I am looking at the dialog and deciding what to do, the Wi-Fi menu item indicates a connection and internet traffic starts to flow. I then click "Cancel" in the dialog and am presented with another dialog indiciating the network could not be joined with options to "Cancel" or "Run Diagnostics." On other occassions I have chosen "Reset to Defaults" in the "Keychain Not Found" dialog, but the secondary window asking for my password acts oddly. It remains shaded as if front most window, no matter what window I activate. Even if no other apps are running and the window appears to be frontmost, I cannot type a password or press return to trigger the "OK" button.
I got the problem to go away for a fe days when I disabled iCloud Keychain, reset my keychain from Keychain Access, and rebooted. However, a few days after turning iCloud Keychain back on the problem persists.
I am pasting in some console messages broken down into the steps I took when waking from sleep and selecting the network from the menu bar. I redacted my mac address and certificate identifiers.

Keychain Issue for the password for my mac account.

Keychain Issue. Keeps asking for the password for my mac account. When i type it, i keep getting "rejected the password. But it is the correct one. Verified in keychain access. "The .Mac server 'mail.mac.com' rejected the password for user XXXXXXXX. Please reenter your password, or cancel."
Thanks in advance
don

But may I ask why you're using separate servers for in & out?
I don't know the answer to that. For many years, it's always been set up like that. I have never changed anything.
Should i delete the .mac mail account & set it up again? If so, What servers should i use for incoming & outgoing?
Keep in mind i'm having the same issue on my desktop & laptop, both running tiger 10.4.11, as far as they will upgrade.
I do have a laptop running Lion, but that shows an icloud account, not a .mac account like the older computers. It also has a bellsouth account with the password that is correct and a gmail account which is working fine.

Can keychain be used as a general purpose password vault?

Can non-website password and credentials be added to Keychain? I currently use Keeper and am increasingly dissatisfied with it. I can't find a simple UI for Keychain that would allow adding passwords to the database. Is there one?

Hello ambios,
Indeed, items can be added manually to your keychain via the Keychain Access Utility. The help page linked below details how to do so.

Keychain Issue

Hi all
My wife has had an issue with Keychain since she upgraded to Lion (I didn't have the issue and we both upgraded on the same day)
When she sends emails now, people (mostly PCs) receive an error message that she can't be verified.
I got the same error message when she sent me an email, and I clicked on the her name and "verified her" and now all her emails I read fine, but she can't ask all her email recepients to "verify her"
We believe the issue has to do with Keychain, but can't figure our what it is. We have gone into Utilities/Keychain, and there was one certificate which she uses to access a corporate bank account, and it had a red x next to it. We double clicked on it and fixed it, but her email problem persists.
Thanks

TS1544 Keychain Issue - Blocking some websites, help!

I received an iMac G4 from a friend (10.3). I reset the Keychain using Keychain First Aid because it would not allow access to websites without a password. Now all sites are accessible except for a select few, like YouTube and Hotmail. I thought resetting the Keychain would fix the issue. How do I unblock sites? Thank you for any help!

It may well be that the only solution (for now) is to keep the zoom level at default (press CTRL+0 - that's zero - to restore it or go into ''View > Zoom > Reset''). I heard of other cases where zoom would make pages lag. This problem will be gone in Firefox 4, along with most (if not all) scroll problems. Firefox 4 beta is still not good enough for day to day use, but you can still [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html try it] if you want.

Effects of using keychain on login

I just began using keychain with the result that when I login 7 popups appear in succession asking for permission to used the "Local Items Keychain". The 7 are:
talagent
Message agent
Call history plugin helper
Calendar agent
cloudd
Safari
com.apple/iCloudhelper.xpc
How do I enter permission once and for all for each of these to prevent the popups on each login?

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, testing after each one, until it's resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Follow the directions in this support article.
Step 2
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Select the iCloud keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
Step 3
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.
Step 4
Open the Keychains folder as in Step 1. There should be a file in that folder with the name "login.keychain". If there is also a file iwith the name "login_renamed_1.keychain", then please do as follows:
☞ Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain".
☞ Rename login_renamed_1.keychain to "login.keychain".
You can then close the folder.
Delete the login keychain from the keychain list in Keychain Access. Choose
           Delete References
when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
Select
          File ▹ Add Keychain...
from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file now named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.
Run Keychain First Aid again. Quit Keychain Access.

ISync & Keychain issues at startup

Hi
I'm getting four or five popup Keychain messages when I boot my Macbook. One of them said this:
dmnotifyd wants to use keychain "login".
I'm pretty good at solving keychain issues -- have run Keychain First Aid, etc. (it reported nothing). Have repaired permissions, rebooted, etc.
Also, suddenly I cannot access the "Sync" portion of the .Mac preference pane. Beachball. Fun fun fun.
Any help appreciated. I'm close to moving to Google Calendar.... real close.

My GUESS is that either eDirectory/ndsd/LDAP isn't up and running at the point that nss/nam wants to load since both items depend on them.
You can check two log files:
/var/log/messages (look at the timestamps for when the server boots up and you'll be able to see the lines for where eDirectory loads and then NSS and namcd)
and
/var/log/boot.msg
Since it sounds like you can manually load/start them, it sounds like a timing problem to me. Is that correct, that you can manually start NSS and NAMCD?

All my browsers quit upon launch; keychain issue?

Strange problem, possibly a corrupted keychain issue; any browser I open in my main user; quits and goes poof. But I can open a browser in another user. I rebuilt my directory; repaired my disk; repaired perms...same prob. In one user it says login keychain missing but I can open browsers, but my login keychain exists where I can't open browsers... OK, it's very fricked up. Do I need to do a complete archive and install? Any other options? Thanks
ps Just discovered, I can open a page in main user; from a saved html icon; but not when I enter addresses in the url input field. Weird. Then it goes poof. Maybe its a problem with the url input field? A workaround seems to close it and use command L in firefox.
Already tried resetting my ACL from startup disk.
