Outlook supports CTK currently in Microsoft's Insider Slow/Fast channels. If no
other issues pop up before next week, I expect it to be in 16.30.
TokenD is disabled by default in macOS 10.15. It can be re-enabled but in my
testing I found that both OpenSC and ActivClient are broken unless you
completely disable CTK.

In my experience, OpenSC already supports Firefox and Acrobat perfectly,
and is available both as a source repo and as a binary package. In my opinion,
this is the best currently available option for smartcards (and not just CAC or
PIV tokens!) on Catalina - especially because there's a large community behind
it that provides pretty decent support. That works for all the apps with
PKCS#11 capabilities, and for a large number of tokens.
Apple-native apps (Safari and Apple Mail) were migrated to CTK, so they can
access the tokens (CAC and PIV only) via "pivtoken" (standard with High Sierra,
Mojave, and Catalina).
The real problem is with those apps that still rely on CDSA API, rather
than on the new CTK - such as MS Office (AFAIK). Unfortunately, neither OpenSC
(that provides a PKCS#11 library), nor your keychain-pkcs11 (that provides a
PKCS#11 library) can help with this issue. And OpenSC.tokend that addressed it
up until Mojave, won't work on Catalina.

Everyone,
It is my understanding that MacOS X Catalina has finally killed off
support
for third-party token daemons ("tokend") which make smart cards
available
via the older Keychain APIs.
I tested out my keychain-pkcs11 plugin, and it worked fine on Catalina
with Firefox (for web browsing) and Adobe Acrobat (for document
signing). Now obviously I am biased because I wrote keychain-pkcs11,
but as far as I know currently it is the only option for CAC/smartcard
support for those two applications on Catalina. If there are other
options to make these applications work on Catalina I would love to hear
about them. And if anyone has problems with keychain-pkcs11 I would
be interested in hearing about them.
