Keychain Access

Hello everyone,

when I open the keychain access the "Local Items" is unlocked and if I want to lock it clicking on the lock on the top left of the panel won't lock and button simply does nothing.

Is it normal or my Mac is having some issue?

Thanks!

Hello Mr.Claude,

my Local Items keychain is also unlocked, and clicking the top left padlock does not change anything.

The help pages on Keychain Access are not too good. I have a certificate I want to make "public" for all users on my Mac, and I have been trying to find out what the different keychains are for, i.e. the "Login", "Local items", "System" and "System Roots". Here are my guesses. Please correct me if I am wrong:

Login - this the current users private keychain

Local Items - this is a shared keychain for all users on the computer. All users can access items in this one. No need to lock it. It unlocks when you log in, just as your private "Login" keychain.

System - this is probably MacOS' private keychain. The users won't have access unless they unlock it with the admin password? I tried to unlock it and put my certificate in here, but it did not become available for the other users.

System Roots - this is also reserved for the system. It (seems to) only contain root certificates.

Kind regards

Ingmar
