This is a fix posted for Leopard: User reports: After much frustration I finally have Entourage making an SSL connection to an Exchange server in Mac OS X Leopard after performing the OS Leopard installation from scratch. All that is needed is your root certificate - no private key, no digital identity Now do the following: 1. Put the root certificate in your home folder. 2. Open a terminal. 3. Type the following: sudo certtool i root_certificate.cer v k=/System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors Obviously replacing "root_certificate.cer" with your certificate filename. The last line of output should read "...certificate successfully imported." If you get an error saying that the certificate is in the wrong format and needs to be in PEM format, then use the Microsoft Cert Manager to convert the certificate format by importing then exporting as PEM. User explanation: Why did it break? As it turns out, the X509Anchors file, as of Leopard, has been made obsolete - but not entirely... It can (and is) still read from, but cannot be written to - at least not with any GUI interface like Apple Keychain or Microsoft Cert Manager. As Entourage looks at this X509Anchors file for the Root Certificate and not in the new SystemCA/RootCertificates.keychain files, of course it's not going to find it! This also explains why people that upgraded rather than fresh installed did not encounter this age old problem again. -- Diane -- YouTalk mailing list List address: [email protected] List information: http://entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected], [email protected] To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
