CredStore Perform Query error

by

This error occurs when trying to retrieve an URLCredential from URLCredentialStorage for an unknown URLProtectionSpace.
e.g.

let protectionSpace = URLProtectionSpace.init(host: host, 
                                              port: port, 
                                              protocol: "http", 
                                              realm: nil, 
                                              authenticationMethod: nil)

var credential: URLCredential? = URLCredentialStorage.shared.defaultCredential(for: protectionSpace)

produces

CredStore - performQuery - Error copying matching creds.  Error=-25300, query={
    class = inet;
    "m_Limit" = "m_LimitAll";
    ptcl = http;
    "r_Attributes" = 1;
    srvr = host;
    sync = syna;
}

Give it a credential for the protection space:

let userCredential = URLCredential(user: user, 
                                   password: password, 
                                   persistence: .permanent)

URLCredentialStorage.shared.setDefaultCredential(userCredential, for: protectionSpace)

and the error goes away next time you try to retrieve the credential.

I am a little lost as I am not sure what is causing this, or what
CredStore even does. What purpose does CredStore serve in iOS?

Credential storage on iOS allows users to securely store certificate-based or password-based credentials on the device either temporarily or permanently to the keychain.

I suspect that you have some sort of authentication on your backend server and that server is requesting an authentication challenge to your app (for which no credential exists).

It can probably be safely ignored as returning nil from the URLCredentialStorage is a valid response
