Re: [Fed-Talk] CAC and Firefox 3



Following is part of the correspondence with David Mueller. I thought I sent the reply to the list but it went only to David. Anyway, his instructions worked for me.

You're welcome.  I'm glad to hear it worked.

Subject: Re: [Fed-Talk] Smart Cards (CAC) and PKCS#11 library support for third party OS X Applications...
 
David,

     I've been following this thread with interest.

     You've provided very helpful and specific line by line Unix 
instructions.  After following your directions I then opened the FireFox 
Preferences, selected Advanced then Encryption and clicked the Security 
Devices button and Load. Then pasted in
/usr/local/lib/pkcs11/libcoolkeypk11.dylib into the second blank in the 
box. Success!

Thanks.

This module is broken in 10.5.  It crashes during C_Initialize.  I logged a bug with Apple months ago.

The only working PKCS#11 module for OS X is the Coolkey PKCS#11 module from Red Hat.
