Each connection attempt results in

07.12.08 20:16:05 /Applications/Utilities/Viscosity.app/Contents/MacOS/Viscosity[659] -[Keychain internetServer:forAccount:port:path:inSecurityDomain:protocol:auth:]:1670: Unable to find internet keychain item, error errSecItemNotFound (#-25300) - The item cannot be found.

being written to the console. Since the attempt fails, this looks like the cause. Google, however, doesn't know much about this error message. Does anyone here have a clue?

Hi Paul,

Sounds like a problem with your Keychain. Does the following stop the error?

1. Go to /Applications/Utilities and open the Keychain Access application
2. Go to the File menu and select Keychain First Aid
3. Enter your username and password, select Repair, and click the Start button

Cheers
James

Turns out the error message was simply misleading...
I tried the same with openVPN on Windows and the error was "VERIFY ERROR: depth=1, error=certificate has expired:". However, it wasn't my certificate that had expired but the root cert of the certificate authority that signed my cert.
