Unable to import certificate to login Keychain (OS X 10.13.5)

Question

I'm trying to add a VPN certificate for Azure, but when I open the cert to add to the login keychain, it does not actually add it. Dragging and dropping does nothing as well, nor can I add it via the command line via:

sudo security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot -k ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain VpnServerRoot.crt

There are also no errors generated, or output of any kind when trying to add it. I've heard this may be a bug with OS X, but haven't seen a solution anywhere.

Answer 1

Ah I see your problem. You have just the .cert file. which requires a private/public key in order to add it to the keychain.

Get that and try to add it.
