I wanted to post an anomaly I noticed that will probably affect
federal folks the most.
I have discovered an issue with filevault and running smart card
services. When FileVault has a master password set and you browse to
a pki enabled web site with safari, safari asks you for your
FileVault master password. When you enter it successfully it tells
you that the web site will not accept it and asks you to choose a new
certificate, and the inserted CAC certificate is listed. As soon as I
highlight it and click OK Safari crashes, this did not occur before
turning on FileVault. Removing the FileVault keychain files in /
library/keychains corrects this issue (but it leaves a blank
keychain. I imagine it is a problem with how FileVault stores the
master password as a certificate. I have elected to just run without
FileVault for now.
My configuration is as follows:
12" G4 powerbook 1.25GHZ
1.25GB RAM
SCR331 USB Card reader
Fresh 10.4 install (Erase and install)
No other applications yet, CAC/PKI functionality is paramount for me
so I needed to nail down any 3rd party issues.
