For use on the Army network, the Thursby ADmitMac for CAC has been
included in all Macs purchased through the CHESS Consolidated Buy:
https://chess.army.mil/ascp/commerce/consolidatedBuy/index.jsp
If you did not get your Mac through Consolidated Buy, then there is a
process to purchase just the Thursby middleware (listed on the site
above).
Also, the Mac must be running the Army Golden Master version of Leopard,
which is also included in the Consolidated Buy purchase, but should be
accessible by your DOIM's AGM point of contact.
Of course, this just clears the Army requirements. Your local DOIM has
the final say on what they will support on their portion of the
LandWarNet.

MacBook Pros Don't Support CAC Login?!
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.
