I've implemented a MacOS app that among other things, uses keychain to save the user's password.

For most of the time it works great, but every now and then, when I try to save the password - it crashes the app.

The error I'm getting is:

errSecNotAvailable (OSStatus -25291)

I see that the description for this error is "No trust results are available."

I can't repreduce it, but it's happened to some of my users.

The code I'm using for the keychain part is taken from Apple's SimpleTunnel sample

What does this error means? How can I fix it ?

This is partial stack trace:

I see that the description for this error is "No trust results are available."

Ah, um, no it’s not. From

<Security/SecBase.h>

:

errSecNotAvailable = -25291, /* No keychain is available. You may need to restart your computer. */

which doesn’t bode well. As I mentioned on the other thread you found, this is unlikely to be related to how you’re using the keychain.

The next time you reproduce the problem you should take a sysdiagnose of your Mac (per the instructions on our Bug Reporting > Profiles and Logs page) and file a bug. Once you’ve done that post the bug number here.

Bumping this old thread.
Not this issue happened to one of my users. Failed saving to keychain with error: -25291.
I just asked them to restart their Mac, I'll report back with the results.
But if it will reproduce, can I ask them to run sysdiagnose on their Mac, or is it just for developers? What else can I do? They already sent me their Console logs.
