Hello, I’m new to mac world and would like to enable CAC login to our unit’s remote desktop connection. I have successfully enabled CAC using key access guidelines for webmail and AF Portal (on Safari) but when I start the latest Microsoft mac version of “remote desktop connection” – the program starts but asks for username and password but does not recognize the CAC and ask for a PIN.

Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client for OS X doesn't support remote smartcard readers.


If you're feeling adventurous, you can install X11 and recompile rdesktop from MacPorts with --enable-smartcard set. That *might* work (I've never tried).

I'm curious how you got Safari working with the AF Portal.
