Thread-topic: [Fed-Talk] Smart Cards (CAC) and PKCS#11 library support for third party OS X Applications...
I use the CoolKey package from the CoolKey site:
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/BuildCoolKey#Pre_Built_Binary
The following Terminal commands can be used to install it; I assume
you've already used cd to change to the directory that the CoolKey
package was downloaded to:
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/include
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
$ unzip mac-coolkey-1.1.0.zip
$ cd usr/local/CoolKey
$ sudo cp -r lib/* /usr/local/lib/
$ sudo cp -r include/* /usr/local/include/
$ sudo cp -r bin/* /usr/local/bin/
Once that is done, the path to Coolkey to use in Firefox and Adobe
Reader is:
/usr/local/lib/pkcs11/libcoolkeypk11.dylib
Hope this helps,
David

Tried the three R's of Windows: Refresh (Retry), Reboot, Reinstall
(Recompile). No luck. I think my Mac called my bluff and just laughed
at me (I even tried the Voodoo doll I brought back from New Orleans).
Perhaps you can send me the CoolKey package you are using with the,
configuration and installation steps that you followed, so I can see if
I can get that working on my system.
However, on a broader note, for other Mac users who will require similar
functionality, something more user friendly (does waving dead chickens
over the CPU fall into this category?) and (semi) supported really needs
to be developed. Quirks like these really gives IT management the ammo
they need to prevent the Mac from infiltrating the Windows baseline at
many organizations.
