Since this is a post within Apple in the Enterprise, I thought I would pass along that this solution violates HIPAA laws within the Healthcare Space. In reality most online storage solutions do not meet the security requirements of healthcare. While I do appreciate the ease of integration of this solution, I just don't see most large enterprise recommending this to their Mac users.
This article was useful if you ignored the dropbox part though. If it focused on explaining you could save your keychain file and do this without using dropbox at all, and use a usb drive, the advice would seem more security conscious, since your keychain will have all your saved passwords. I still thought it was cool just focusing on the part of where to find your keychain and how to work with the app.
USB Thumb Drives and Health Work here do not mix at all well and are not legal here.
The main reason for this is one person who shall remain nameless walked into a Health Department Place copied some files to a Thumb Drive and then promptly lost it before reaching the next place that needed the data.
Result 12,000 patient files lost and a Big Stink started.

I shared my Keychain as described in this article and it works well for me on 10.7.4 except for one thing: Every time I reboot and login, I am asked for the password for the keychain; the keychain does not open automatically when I login.
Just for the record???
My problem is apparently related to the fact that I use Dropbox to sync my keychain between two Macs.
I met with an Apple Genius at the Northbrook IL Store on the morning of August 15.
He said that sharing/syncing keychains was a feature of MobileMe. Unfortunately, now that MobileMe has been discontinued, there is no way to do this that is supported by Apple.
As a result, he declined to attempt to fix my problem.
Unlocking my keychain when I log in isn't a huge problem but it is annoying.
Can you give me an idea what I've done wrong?
