(Stepping away from vacation long enough to send some critical email)
Fed-Talk Folks,
It is quite evident that there is far too much confusion amongst members of this list about what is fixed where and what fixes what with respect to Smart Cards on Mac OS X. I thought my last clarification message would prevent most of this confusion, but alas that is not the case.
Let's start from the beginning here....
Make sure that you each understand the _different_ issues that have been identified and what steps or updates are necessary to address each particular issue. Far too easy to lump everything together, utilize only one fix and then wonder why it didn't fix your specific problem. I will try to give both broad coverage and in-depth coverage on each issue to help folks at different technical levels and understanding. I will explain what the issue is, how to identify it and what steps you should take to remedy it.
To prevent this message from being unacceptably long, I am sending each of the issues above in separate email messages. This should also help folks focus on the issue of interest without having to troll through all of the message to get to it.
Issues Discussed in separate email messages: (1) Reader and/or Card not recognized by Mac OS X 10.5 (2) Card recognized, but I cannot access PKI protected Websites
This content and more will be covered in a refreshed look and feel of my .Mac / MobileMe web site.
