CAC/PIV Software; Smart Card Logon; Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). SCR3310 v2 Card Reader (CAC-Approved) More Views. SCR3310 v2 Card Reader (CAC-Approved) Small and ergonomic USB contact smart card reader, CAC-approved. MAC Middleware - Thursby PKardā¢ for Mac OS X.Non-refundable. (WILL NOT WORK WITH MAC OS CATALINA).
The Active Client program doesn't support the Mac platform that I know of. However OSX does support the CaC card reader. If your command allows you to do Outlook Web Access you should be able to get your E-Mail that way. I know there were issues with NMCI for a while, but I know folks who are doing this from their Macs now, although I have yet to mess with it.EDIT:I was wrong!However, the ActivClient CaC software doesn't support OSX. Not sure if the above will work or not.
Not surprisingly, it's not free.OWA may still be the best way to go.Also this:This:and this:and this. Thursby PKard for Mac supports all CAC cards, OS X 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7 for $30.If you need to solve your smart card integration problem simply and easily, knowing where your software came from and who is standing behind it, come see us.The 'free' stuff worked in the past for some people, sometimes but has huge holes for new cards and Apple itself refers to it as a 'science project' given incompleteness, lack of support and lack of roadmap.

Worth a whirl if you've time to burn and Mac isn't directly connected to a DoD network, otherwise try the professional stuff.

Worth a whirl if you've time to burn and Mac isn't directly connected to a DoD network, otherwise try the professional stuff.Are ALL CAC Reader's supported?I would be issued a Cherry model ST-1044U CAC reader.Tom. Sorry for bumping an old post.Just for the heck of it, I hooked my up my SCM Microsystems SCR3310 v2.0 CAC card reader to my MBP (w/ OS 10.6.8) and it WORKED!!!I haven't had my CAC card working on my MBP (other than on my Bootcamp partition of Win7) since I upgraded to SL 2 years ago.Honestly I don't know what happened (recent Apple updates to keychain???
Safari updates???) that made it work but now I can access the AF Portal, OWA webmail and other DoD websites that I need while I'm deployed. Success!!!!Now I'm little aprehensive about upgrading to Lion or ML since I may not be able to use my CAC again on the newer OS' without purchasing Thurby app.-EDIT-I did try my other CAC card readers: SCM SCR-3500 & IOGear's GSR-202 and both worked also on Snow Leopard.
