I need a CAC card (or equivalent; I've been told an ECA soft cert might
do) to support consulting work with govt agencies (see
http://giglite.org) that works on my Macs (G4 Desktop and MacBook Pro).
I'm confused as to exactly what I need, where to get them, and what this
will cost. In particular:
1) Do I need a card or will a soft cert do? How do the results differ?
Can I sign email with a soft cert? Can I access AKO? Other govt websites
like eGov, etc? I'm familiar with ECA certs as of about 2 years ago with
DISA. But they were tightening their policy even then so that soft certs
would no longer do. Mine expired around then.
2) If I do need a card, where do I get one that works for Macs? I know
about the NPGS "CAC on a Mac" paper.
3) Do soft certs work with cards?
4) Any issues sharing a card/softCert between desktop and laptop?
5) Where should I apply for the certs? Where should I buy the card?
Sorry if this is a FAQ. Too many moving parts, never addressed as a
whole by any reference I've found. Hoping someone here can help.
