For all the reasons stated on this thread, Apple stopped supporting CACs well when they stopped separately supporting the SmartCard Services years ago.
- Not enabling signing/encryption buttons for many minutes (even with valid certs and e-mail addresses)
- Insisting on case-sensitivity (yea, it's in some spec but NOBODY enforces it)
Thanks to the CACkey and https://militarycac.com folks for keeping the dream alive...
