Problem: Unable to add self-signed certificates to the X509Anchors Keychain in Snow Leopard. Receive error 100013 when trying to add cert.
Solution: If open, close the ‘Keychain Access’ app, and drag the certificate onto the app. It will load right up.
Note: DER encoded certificates will not load. Change encoding to Base64.
This can be an incredibly aggravating issue as these certs are pervasive in the intranets of organizations.
My issue involved connecting a number of Macs to Office Communications Server with the ‘Messenger for Mac’ client
Caveat: This assumes you already have the X509Anchor ring added into ‘Keychain Access’.
To do that, open ‘Keychain Access’; Go to ‘File’ –> ‘Add Keychain’; navigate to ‘/System/Library/Keychains/’ choose ‘X509Anchors’.
In Snow Leopard, there is no X509Anchors in ‘/System/Library/Keychains/’
It may be a function of the machine connecting to AD on the network here. I’ll do a clean install and see if the ring is still missing. Thanks for keeping me honest~
Jeff, I wiped the drive and kept it off network and am still able to find X509Anchors in /System/Library/Keychains/ .
Check to see if you’re in /System/Library/ or ~/Library .
Select finder and Shift + Command + C
Even upgraded to 10.6.2 , Still not working. Changed to base 64 and still get Error:100013
I am prompted for a password fot the x509anchors keychain. The normal admin password does not work. Any ideas?
