Figure 31: Keychain Settings
8. Check the configuration of each of the items in the login keychain. Each item
can be individually configured to permit access by only certain applications.
The lower half of the Keychain Access window contains a tabbed view pane
for configuring the attributes and settings for each item. Repeat the following
steps for each item:
a. Select an item within the currently selected keychain.
b. Click on the Access Control tab in the bottom of the window to
display the attributes of that item.
c. The Allow all applications to access this item option should not
be selected. If it is, it will allow any application to access the associated
credential whenever the keychain is unlocked, without prompting the
user.
Setting this option allows any application
to access the item without user
notification or authentication. This
setting should never be selected.
d. The Confirm before allowing access option should be selected.
Selecting this option causes the system to prompt the user for
permission before releasing the passphrase to an application.
