Troubleshooting
---------------

.. warning:: As of approx 10.12.4 you can no longer select a transport. And you will not be able to install the payload
    if the client is not bound to a directory.

- If you request a `User` certificate but the payload is in the `System` PayloadScope, the User certificate will be requested as the
  computer account. Normally the certificate policy will deny this, so check that you have the correct scope.

Uninstall Behaviour
-------------------

- The certificate is not revoked upon uninstallation.
- The certificate is not removed from keychain, but the private key IS removed. The private key is named after the issuing host.
