Weird keychain access error!
In short, I keep getting an error "The user name or passphrase entered is not correct" when trying to generate a CSR in Keychain Access. The weird thing is that in NO PART of this process was I prompted to give a user name or password. More lengthy explanation below...
I'm getting into iPhone app development, and I need this Certificate Signing Request in order to use the iPhone developer's program (or whatever it's called) to test and submit my apps.
Fortunately, Apple has a simple step-by-step guide to walk you through this.
It's supposed to be a quick process, and I followed each step to the letter.
It basically involves going to Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate... and giving it a little bit of information. I gave it the same e-mail address and name with which I am enrolled, asked it to save to my disk, specified a 2048 bit key size, RSA algorithm (I don't know what all of this means but it was clearly dictated in the guide).
After this step, It's supposed to instantly generate my CSR, no problem. Instead, I get "An error has occurred. The user name or passphrase you entered is not correct". Brick wall. As I stated above, at no point in this process was I prompted for either of these.
I have restarted the computer multiple times, to no effect.
When I try to run verification in Keychain First Aid, it says
*User differs on /Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.keychain, should be 501, owner is 0*
When I try repairing, I get
*Owner not corrected on /Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.keychain, reason: The operation couldn’t be completed. Permission denied*
Is that the problem or is that normal?
BTW: this is a brand new computer (two weeks out of the box) and I am the only user.
Anyone know what the issue is?
