- Thread-topic: Smart card login and unlocking login keychain
Does anyone know if it's possible to have a user's login keychain unlock
automatically as part of the user logging in via a smartcard?
Now that I've been issued a PIV card at my federal agency, I'm starting to
experiment with smartcard-based login on my OS X (10.5.7) machines. I've
bound my local account to the hash key for my PIV card authentication cert,
and that part works perfectly -- when I insert my PIV card, the "Password"
prompt changes to a "PIN" prompt, and all is good.
Unfortunately, logging in with my PIV card doesn't also unlock my login
keychain -- whenever I log in, the first time I do something that would
require data stored in my keychain, I'm prompted for the password for the
keychain to unlock it.
Is there a way to change this behavior?
Thanks...
Jason Levine
