- Thread-topic: [Fed-Talk] Smart Cards (CAC) and PKCS#11 library support for third party OS X Applications...
Tried the three R's of Windows: Refresh (Retry), Reboot, Reinstall
(Recompile). No luck. I think my Mac called my bluff and just laughed at
me (I even tried the Voodoo doll I brought back from New Orleans). Perhaps
you can send me the CoolKey package you are using with the, configuration
and installation steps that you followed, so I can see if I can get that
working on my system.
However, on a broader note, for other Mac users who will require similar
functionality, something more user friendly (does waving dead chickens over
the CPU fall into this category?) and (semi) supported really needs to be
developed. Quirks like these really gives IT management the ammo they need
to prevent the Mac from infiltrating the Windows baseline at many
organizations.
