I was given a verbal denial by one of our IMO folks for the MacBook Pro I requested because "DOIM doesn't support it." I asked for that in writing so I could pursue an exception to policy and was told that there was no point in pursuing an exception to policy because DOIM just said no. I asked why they said no and she said "because MacBook Pros don't support CAC login."
That seemed wrong on several levels. First, because I specifically asked that question of the Apple representative at LandWarNet (if anyone has her contact info I'd appreciate it...short female) in the presence of this IMO rep and it was my understanding that not only was CAC supported but that the software is native to the Mac OSX operating system.
Second because I think I've seen a lot of traffic on this list about how to log on with CAC.
Third because MBPs are used throughout DoD including the Pentagon and I don't think they'd use them if they couldn't use a CAC card with them.
Fourth because I explained in my justification that I don't need it on the network anyway, just as a replacement for a laptop that's not on the network.
What am I not understanding? If someone can give me some info to pursue an exception to policy for this I'd appreciate it. I'm going to continue to pursue getting something in writing from DOIM though between us I don't believe it ever made it that far and think my justification was used for someone else to get a MBP for "testing" purposes. But I'm just sayin...
If you have anything I can use for an exception to policy for this or any other concerns or especially if you are in a position of authority to get this through (through channels of course) and can advise me how to proceed I'd appreciate hearing from you.
