Most applications on ''macOS'' (previously named ''OS X'') uses ''Keychain Access'', the operating system certificate store, to avoid forcing users to add/import the certificate in all applications where it's used.
 
 
 
This procedure describes how to add a client certificate to ''Keychain Access''.
 
 
 
The common reason for having to do this is having used the ''Firefox'' web browser to obtain a client certificate and you wish to make it available to other applications (for example ''Safari'' and ''Cyberduck'').
 
 
 
= Instructions =
 
 
 
* Launch '''Keychain Access''' by opening '''Finder''' and navigating '''Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access'''
 
 
 
* Make sure the '''login''' keychain is selected.
