Hello Lucy,
I can't vouch for the Virtual PC part yet (as I haven't tried it,
but I
understand it works too) - but I might suggest that you go and
download
the "CAC on a MAC" document at http://cisr.nps.edu/pub_techrep.html.
It's helped a fiar number of people to setup their CAC readers to
work
on the Mac. And yes, you will need to flash the firmware on the
card,
but the document also explains this step too.
-Phil

Subject: [Fed-Talk] cac on mac os x 10.4.6 with scr331 reader
I'm new to Macs and CAC readers so please forgive me if I sound
ignorant
and
asking a question that's been answered before.
I have been reading through as much of the archived information on
the
Fed-Talk list as I can, and I still can't seem to get my CAC and
Citrix
set
up. I have a MacBook Pro with a Mac OS X 10.4.6. I also have a
SCR 331
CAC
reader. However, I don't have virtual PC. I've done the following:
1. In Keychain Access, I went into Edit Keychain List for Mac OS
X and
clicked "Shared" for the X509 Cerficiates.
2. I've installed the two keychains provided by DoD into both
X509Certificates and X509Anchors
3. At one point, in Keychain Access, it recognized my smartcard as
"smartcard reader #1." However, when I clicked on my personal
certificates
with my name on it, they would show that it was "INVALID."
4. So I went into the draft guide "Smartcard Login on Tiger" and
copied
and
pasted what was under "enabling smartcard login" in the Terminal
mode.
I'm
not sure what happened after that, but my laptop no longer
recognizes my
smartcard reader at all.
5. I moved CCID Class Driver bunding to the desktop.
6. I've downloaded the Citrix ICA Client for Mac.
My questions:
1. How do I get my laptop to recognize my smartcard reader
again? Do I
need to undo any of the things I've done above? And if so, how do
I do
that? I need basic level instruction.
2. Do I need to update my driver for the SCR331 reader to the
firmware
5.18
version given that I running on version 10.4.6? It seems from
what I've
read that I don't have to but I may be mistaken.
3. Do I need VirtualPC to get this thing working?
4. How do I make my personal certificate "valid"
5. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any of your suggestions.
