Duane,
We are trying to get this to work for us... With this solution, we
can sign but not encrypt yet... Can you encrypt?
Thanks!

I was given an ActivCard reader to use, and my co-worker discovered
something about them: the firmware needs to be updated before it
will work with Mac OS X. We did that and we can now read CACs.
Just a little gotcha that nobody tells you...

You will need to specify what card reader you are using.

I have a PowerBook G4 17" w/1.5GB RAM/80GB HD and a Verizon Wireless
Broadband card that I use for Internet Access. That said, I would
like to be
able to access at the minimum webmail.nmci.navy.mil, and at the
most be able
to POP/IMAP my email with an appropriate email client. I have
successfully
setup the CAC Readers on PCs, but have been struggling to use a
CAC reader
on the Mac.
In OS X 10.4.x CAC card support is built in. If you install the
ActivCard software you will likely break that built-in support.
As a test, connect your card reader to your machine, insert your
card, and then launch Keychain Access. If you are already
configured then an extra item will appear in the upper left pane
(Keychains), mine is labeled "smart card #2", you may have to
press a button labeled "Show Keychains" which is located at the
bottom left of the window. At a minimum the keychain pane should
list the following keychains: "shortusername", X509Anchors,
System, X509Certificates.
Also, it might be neccesary to follow the following instructions
(may have been fixed since the first release of OS X 10.4):
-- Federal Customers within DoD will need to add the
"X509Certificates" to the list
a) Launch Keychain Access
b) Select "Edit -> Keychain List"
c) Select "Show: Mac OS X (System)"
d) Check "Shared" checkbox next to
"X509Certificates" (/System/Library/Keychains)
e) X509Certificates will now appear in the Keychains
List and will be available for
Intermediates for the whole trust path
validation.
Also, try the archives for more info, search for messages by Shawn
Geddis since the release of Tiger for quickest results. I posted
a message yesterday with two of his messages attached.
