Title: RE: [Fed-Talk] CAC

Under 10.3.9, all you should need to do to turn off cac is run

cac_setup -off

In terminal while logged in as root or su

You should not need activecard gold utilities or any drivers for the CAC reader.

If you are using an SCR331, make sure the firmware is the latest... 5.18

You may need access to a Windows box to flash the firmware in the card.

If the firmware is 4.13 or lower, the Common Access Card viewer application (in applications/utilities) will not see the card, and may also crash the system.

After cac_setup, there are some other commands you need to run in terminal to make the card work.

(Sorry, I'm in front of an XP box right now, so I can't get to the setup document I have, nor do I know them off the top of my head.)

Under 10.3.9, I did not have to do anything with /etc/authorization
AFAIK, that's cac & 10.4 only.

How do I uninstall CAC functions?
Background.
        1. I am running OS 10.3.9
        2. I downloaded and installed common access card viewer
        3. I downloaded and installed package for ActivCard usb reader. This is the reader I have. I was following the guidance in Shawn Geddis' Set up Guide v1.0.

4. I used cac_setup -d in terminal to enable smart card services

Problem
        1. The Smart Card Login Window appears, but CAC is not recognized
        2. I know it is a good card because it works on pc
        3.I tried to turn smart card services off by using command cac_setup -off. I receive this message
                        cac_setup -off
                        * /etc/authorization.orig exists and /etc/authorization
                        does not seem to be a symlink--this is an unfamiliar
                        configuration, bailing
I want to start over, perhaps with SCR331 or other usb reader.
Thank you.
Tom Snyder
