Xcode 9 enable Server fails because "xcsd" keychain password


I currently try to setup an Xcode Server with Xcode 9 but I stuck with this Keychain Password request. I guess it has something to do with the previous Xcode/OS X Server Installation as there Xcode Server was part of OS X Server.

But how do I get rid of this?

EDIT: As it came up in the comments: Neither the password of a the system/admin-user nor the one of the dedicated account for the Xcode Server is accepted.

Keychain password request for xcsd


Solution

  • Only working solution for me:

    • Backup the folder /Library/Developer/XcodeServer/
    • Remove it
    • Activate Xcode Server

    Keep in mind that the new Xcode server doesn't have hosted repositories anymore, so if used them, they are in the HostedRepositories folder. You have to move them to a different service (eg. github).
