This works on 10.5 Check the security pref pane. The setting can be made in a plist too. You might need to log into the mac with your CAC to see the settings in user prefs.

Folks,
The following excerpt from a 2007 Apple document talks about using a CAC to lock a system on CAC removal – presumably unlock on inserting with a PIN. I can see no evidence in the interface or through a search of the security guides of how to do this. Any one have any help?
A Technology Brief
Mac OS X: Security
“Smart cards. Smart cards enable you to carry your digital certificates with you. Mac
OS X allows you to use your smart card whenever an authentication dialog is presented.
This robust, two-factor authentication mechanism complies with Department of
Defense Common Access Card, U.S. PIV, Belgium National Identification Card, Japanese
government PKI, and Java Card 2.1 standards. Similar to an ATM card and a PIN code,
two-factor authentication relies on something you have and something you know. If
your smart card is lost or stolen, it cannot be used unless your PIN is also known.
Mac OS X has additional functionality for smart card use such as:
• Lock system on smart card removal. You can configure your Mac to automatically
lock the system whenever you remove your smart card.”
Thanks,
Walter
