Microsoft Lync Mac Oc_keycontainer

  1. Oct 22, 2016  Microsoft Lync wants to use the OCKeyContainer When opening Lync 2011 I was being presented with the following error: The fix is to close Lync, navigate to /Library/Keychains and remove the OCKeyContainer file.
  2. Microsoft Lync wants to the 'OCKeyContainer useraddress' keychain and asking for a password. Usual user password doesn't work. Anyway, after some digging it's pretty easy to fix if you see it. Exit Lync 2011. Use Finder to go to the user's library - you can use 'Go to folder' and enter /Library In the Library folder, go into the Keychains directory.
  3. Microsoft Lync wants to use the OCKeyContaineremailaddress keychain prompt I keep getting prompted to enter my keychain password 'OCKeyContaineremailaddress' keychain, but this keychain does not exist.
