We have many distribution master keychains (DMKs) in the VA now. This
is the FileVault Master keychain after it has been modified to not
include the private key. the DMK only contains the certificate
portion of the pair and is thus ready for distribution to users for
use by the system to create FileVaulted accounts.
Anyway, the modified FileVaultMaster.keychain (DMK) file shows empty
in the Leopard Keychain Access. Under Tiger the DMK shows the
certificate item as expected.
The same DMK under Leopard and under Tiger allows users to activate
FileVault on their accounts and providing us with the ability to
recover those FileVaulted accounts in an emergency. Thus the problem
with our inability to see the contents is not a problem with the file
but seems to be a problem with the Keychain Access application
specifically.
Anyone else using this method of splitting the keychain and seeing
similar?
