I was also working with the US Government CAC/PKI Helpdesk and they
just responded with this email to me:
------------Helpdesk email to Dalton -----
You are licensed for NetSign 4.2 w/E1 patch (required baseline to
accommodate 64K CACs). Is this what you have installed?
-------------------------------------------------
I guess the CAC cards we are being issued now are a new version --
aka 64k CACs. Maybe this has something to do with it. The Helpdesk
is saying I need to install this "middleware." Do you think this
middleware could make the CAC Reader (etc) more stable and eliminate
other questionable behavior?
Thanks

I do not have experience with Entourage particularly, but
everything else you describe is normal CAC card behavior on the Mac
by my observations. The CAC card support is a bit flaky. The CAC
card viewer application does not work properly under Tiger,
although it did under Panther. One can open the CAC card with
Keychain Access. The CAC card will always open the first time it
is plugged in and accessed, but if you remove the card during a
login session, you will probably have to reboot to get the reader
working again, although not always.
Check to see if the reader works with Mac Mail and with Safari. If
it does, then there is probably nothing unusually wrong with your
software. You have a compatibility issue with Entourage. The
symptoms you describe are not unique.
