NSURLCredential and Keychain

Subject: NSURLCredential and Keychain

Quick Problem Description:

I'm using NSURLCredential to store credentials for a HTTP URL in Keychain, but the Keychain item disappears after sometime.

Details:

I'm using NSURLConnection to make http calls and some of the URLs I'm accessing require authentication.

I have the delegate method didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge: (NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *) implemented and when it gets called, I construct an NSURLCredential object and set the persistence to NSURLCredentialPersistencePermanent. I want the credentials to be stored in Keychain and it works fine. If I close my application and open Keychain, I can see that the credentials for the URL have been added.

From this point on, my application automatically retrieves the credentials everytime it needs it. But this only works for a day or two, and then my application doesn't find the item in the Keychain anymore. If I open Keychain, the Keychain item for my URL is nowhere to be found. What could be removing it?

I don't have any code in my application that manipulates the Keychain in any way, I'm only using NSURLCredential's support for Keychain.

As always, any help is greatly appreciated.
