It's a little buggy on OS X as yet but it's coming along.
I see a lot of people referring to Coolkey, but I'm not clear that it
is useful for anything other then Firefox (on Linux the list includes
"iceweasel, iceape, icedove, epiphany and evolution"). I get the
idea it is taken as a given that Firefox will never support native OS
X technologies like Keychain other than the Aqua interface? And that
for some DoD sites/systems Firefox works and Safari does not? If
Safari works by using the debug menu to change the User Agent that
means Safari works on the site and the site has very sloppy design
(I'm going to only let Fords in my drive-though makes as much
sense). Working around the site by turning on the debug menu in
Safari for all users seems to be a lot less messy then installing
Firefox and unstable Coolkey on OS X for all users. Least messy
would be of course getting the web site fixed.
On top of that I'm not certain that anyone here understands that the
primary maintainer of that package is a Debian Linux developer who
does no OS X development and his day job does not include maintaining
Coolkey (yes I know him). From the Debian point of view Coolkey is
only ready for the "testing" and "unstable" versions of Debian Linux.
