RE: [Fed-Talk] cac on mac os x 10.4.6 with scr331 reader



I just learned that after spending some more frustrated time on trying to get the hash key numbers for sc_auth and continually coming up with nothing, I just learned that sc_auth hash does not work for Intel based Macs.

I have Shawn Geddis' TigerSmartcard Setup Guide and an OmniOutliner file entitled "cacloginconfig.plist"

So I read the instructions on doing the /etc/cacloginconfig.plist as an alternative to sc_auth but I don't understand it at all or what I'm supposed to be doing. Can someone please translate to me what I'm supposed to be doing in plain English step-by-painstaking step?

If this doesn't work, I'm about to completely give up. This process has been highly frustrating and confusing.

I was getting that error until I both correctly entered the hash results and
patched the authorization file.


FWIW, here's the steps I used:

CAC Login For Mac OS X 10.4.6

1.      Insert CAC in Reader

2. login as root

a.      open a terminal window, and issue the following series of commands.

b. sc_auth hash [returns 3 lines of hash codes: Identity, Email Signing
& Email Encryption]


c.      sc_auth accept -u myuser -h <identity_hash_from_step_2b>
[Substitute your user name for 'myuser']

d.      nidump -r /users/myuser .  [Make sure you include the dot.  This is
to make sure user authentication authority is set up correctly.  myuser is
your user id]

e.      Save attache diffs file in an easy-to-get-to location. like the
"Users" folder

f.        cd /etc

g.      cp authorization authorization.orig

h.      patch  -u -o /tmp/authorization.smartcard authorization.orig
/users/smartcardauthdiffs.dat

i.        diff -b /tmp/authorization.smartcard authorization.orig cp
/tmp/authorization.smartcard authorization

3.      Log out and you should see the box for your PIN instead of your
Password

If you remove your CAC card, the screen will revert to userID/password.

Reinsert your CAC, wait a second or two, and your name and a prompt for PIN
should appear.

Since my original post, I've flashed firmware version 5.18 onto my CAC
reader and moved the CCID Class Driver back to where it was originally.
I've also followed all the instructions according to the Naval Postdoctorate
document on CAC on a Mac. With my updated reader, my laptop recognizes my
reader and properly requests and knows when I've properly inputed by PIN,
but it states that my certificates with my name on it are still "not valid"
when I look at them via Keychain Access.


I have asked the IT people within my organization to check my CAC card and
they said there wasn't any reason why it shows up as "not valid" when they
used their computer--a PC.

Please advise on what I need to do so that my laptop/reader can properly
read the certificates with my name on it.
