It was probably inherent in the documentation somewhere, but for those of
us with ORC ECA issued Smart Cards, the Pkard doesn¹t help get the
certificates to show up in Keychain for mail purposes. Im sure the
product works fine for true CAC card, but for those of us poor contractors
with ECA certificates, we're still stuck with using virtualized Windows on
our Macs just to do signed/encrypted emails.
Im not a programmer by any means, but if I were, it would seem that
adjusting the source code for the card reading profile with the built-in
Mac tokends to actually parse the certificates would be something that
takes an hour or so. Keychain detects that card and displays it serial
number, but as alluded to in the last over the past year, the certs do not
show up to use. It was implied that the tokend needed to be updated for
these cards. Ugh.
