I was able to generate a Certificate Signing Request, and I sent it to Apple, and got a Signing Certificate.



When I try to bring the Signing Certificate into Keychain Access I get this error:

I found this error on the developer.apple.com site, what broke and how can I fix it? :)

Run keychain first aid?

@jarednichols Yep, keychain first aid, and did the single user mode dance, and recovery hd to repair disk and fix permissions. Same error.

I tested on a freshly imaged Mac...it works fine. :)



I'll reimage the problem Mac, since it is used for Mac Packaging.



Thanks,
Don

Interesting. Maybe you danced wrong. Were you spinning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

LOL...I tried command line too... :)



Got the same error using the command:
$ sudo security add-trusted-cert -k /Users/donmontalvo/Library/Keychains/login.keychain ./devloperID_installer.cer
Password:
SecCertificateAddToKeychain: The specified keychain is not a valid keychain file.
$
GOOD NEWS: I tested your procedure on a freshly imaged Mac, worked like a charm. I’ll have the guys reimage the packaging Mac so they can start signing their installers.
U ROCK!!!

Called in a favor from an Apple SE...deleting the login.keychain and then reimporting it from ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain fixed the problem on the Mac that had the problem.

Another interesting article...
