Mac OSX 中 eclipse 中的凭据存储失败

Question

When i'm connecting to server projects in tfs using eclipse in mac with my credentials it is connecting without any issues, but when i check the 'save password' at the login dialogue box it is showing an error as

'Credential storage failed (Could not save your credentials)'

Is there any way to get rid of this, because I don't want to enter my username and password every time when I open eclipse.

See the following images.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Use Keychain Access utility to fix it. If you see more than one tfs line in there remove the extras. Click on the one you leave in the list. I am foggy on details of what I did but I remember clicking on Access Control tab to allow keychain. I think it needs your Mac account password to allow the keychain (not your TFS password).

Answer 2

Andrei is correct. But, I thought it would help to clarify the steps:

• Start Keychain Access
• Click 'All Items' under 'Category'
• Enter the name of your tfs server into the search box
• Delete any entries whose 'name' is the same as your tfs server
• Try to connect again.

This worked for me. I had this problem after my password had changed.

Answer 3

I occasionally run into this myself. I have not identified when it happens but I do suspect it has something to do with Eclipse updating itself, which ruins the signature. There is a long standing open bug but I don't see it being addressed anytime soon.

Here is what I do to get it working again: 0. Close Eclipse

1. Open macOS Keychain
2. Search for password entry labeled "equinox.secure.storage"
3. Delete entry "equinox.secure.storage"
4. Open terminal
5. rm -rf ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.equinox.security
6. Start Eclipse
