I get the installer and I can click through the installation dialogue but in the end I get the message "The installation Failed" What can I do to get the smartcardservices installed ?

Re: [SmartcardServices-Users] [Fed-Talk] Trying to attach smart card reader to VM on OS 10.8

Apologies for the cross-post, but I want to finish the thread. (I wish there were more traffic on the SC Services list.) My memory of the situation was that I couldn't configure VirtualBox to capture the device until after it had already captured it. A bit of a catch 22. I'm not currently running VB (running Parallels so I can't verify this) but I guess the recommended procedure would be: 1) Start VirtualBox 2) Connect SC reader 3) kill pcscd (under MacOS) 4) Capture the reader in a VB VM (before pcscd gets restarted) 5) Configure VB to auto-capture the device. 6) Shut down VB. 7) Reboot Afraid I no longer remember details about whether the card was in the reader or not when I was playing with this.

Problem recognizing Apple's Root Certification Authority cert

I had no issue installing the Smart Card Services Update 2.0.b2 for Mountain Lion on one of my 10.8.2 machines (one that already had developer tools installed), however on a clean 10.8.2 machine. I'm unable to install the package, even after manually adding the certificate to my login key chain. I'm getting the same error that Thomas Carroll reported on Nov 8th to the list. What am I missing with my certificate install that the OS still thinks the update is untrusted? Thanks for the help, David

Sharepoint 10 authorization problems?
by David Emery 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Army ASA (ALT) migrated from SharePoint 07 to SharePoint 10 over the weekend, and I'm now getting an authorization error. http://www.olimpia.com/foo.jpg (Not much useful information there!) Sequence of events was to log onto AKO using CAC & PKard 1.1, then click on the new SharePoint link. SharePoint twice asked me if I wanted to use "Windows" or "AKO" credentials; both times I answered "AKO". Has anyone else experienced problems with SharePoint 10? (If you're able to connect through CAC to another DoD SharePoint 10 site, I'd appreciate knowing that...) thanks in advance dave
