System Keychain "Always allow" option no longer available

[oGu]

Hello,

I am using a custom security certificate to acces a private website. On previous Macos versions I would be asked for permission about using this once. I would type in my user name and password and hit "always allow". Now on Macos 12 I don't have option for "always allow". What can I do? Even the help option says that the option should be there but it's not.

Anyone?

Does the certificate show up in your Keychain? If so, can you select the certificate, then 'Get Info' and edit the settings under the 'Trust' section, changing it to always allow?

Already done so. Still no go.

Any more ideas?

If this is how it is, then it suck. Lots of tools and programs use the "always" allow. Like when scripting using "security find-internet-password..".

Apple have started to do security by obscurity - not making things more secure, but more difficult to use.

So the certificate is in the System Keychain? What if you moved it to your Login keychain instead? Perhaps the System keychain has been locked down further in Monterey.

Also does typing the following in the Terminal show any errors (it tests the unlocking of the System keychain):

systemkeychain -vt

Did a clean reinstall of macOS 12 and added the certificate to login and now the option for "always allow" has come back.

God know what happened.

Good to hear you got it fixed!

Cool, I just fixed mine also. No need to reinstall macOS, Just re import the certificates to the login folder and after that I finally got the "Always Allow" button. Thanks!
