Title: Re: [Fed-Talk] CAC on Mac OS X (Leopard)
I’ve had more than one computer cease to work after having ADmitMac for CAC installed and upgrading to 10.5.6 but those that did not have ADmitMac for CAC installed and were upgraded to 10.5.6 worked with no problem. I should have included proper firmware on the CAC reader in my previous post. All I was alluding to earlier was the correct working of your CAC reader and Oberthur ID One v5.2 cars and Mac OS X depended on whether or not you had third party software installed and then proceeded to upgrade to 10.5.6. Other non-Oberthur ID One v5.2 seemed to continue to work regardless of OS version or third-party software as long as you have the correct version of firmware on the reader.

This is not due to ADmitMac for CAC, but due to the firmware version in your SCR 331. Your card reader would not work on ANY version of 10.5.x until the firmware is updated, and 10.5.6 is installed.
The only reason some people were able to get the SCR 331 to work AFTER 10.5.0 and BEFORE 10.5.6 was by using third party drivers supporting the Oberthur card. The Oberthur card and SCR 331 combo was not supported by Apple software until 10.5.6 and only then with the firmware update for the reader.
These third party drivers do not cause something to STOP working when installing 10.5.6.

As long as you are NOT using any third-party software, like ADmitMac for CAC, then you will be able to continue using your CAC card and reader with no problem. But if you do use third party then upgrading to 10.5.6 will most likely make your card reader cease to exist with Oberthur ID One v5.2 CAC card and the SCR 331 and 3310 USB CAC readers. I can verify this on more than one computer.
