Michael, All Smart Card related questions should be communicated on Apple's SmartCardServices Project Lists over at MacOSForge.org. A brief debunking of misinformation previously shared on this thread... There are three methods for associating a Smart Card to a given user account in either the local or remote DS. PubKey Hash - Default method used by OS X and requires sc_auth Attribute Matching - requires /etc/cacloginconfig.plist PKINIT - requires /etc/cacloginconfig.plist and Mac bound to a KDC All methods require that the smartcard-sniffer line be present in /etc/authorization for catching the Smart Card and gathering the PIN for the associated Challenge Response with the card for use of the Private Key on the card. Tokend modules no longer ship with OS X (as of OS X Lion), but are freely available for 10.7, 10.8 from Apple's SmartCardServices project at MacOSForge. This is why nothing happens when you insert a reader / card on a vanilla install of OS X Lion or higher. ALL other components of SmartCard Services are present and have even been updated in released versions of OS X since OS X Lion v10.7.0. Project Site: http://smartcardservices.macosforge.org/ Installers: http://smartcardservices.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/installers There are also third-party commercially supported solutions from, for example, Centrify, charismathics and Thursby. ".....Comparing against 10.4 references these seem to indicate that smart card login is already enabled, besides the name change from smartcard-sniffer to PKINITMechanism...." No, "smartcard-sniffer" is NOT a name change for PKINITMechanism. "smartcard-sniffer" performs a swap of the login window (dynamically) and captures PIN "PKINITMechanism" performs the Apple provided PKINIT services for Login Authentication. "...Unfortunately Apple dropped support and now it is a requirement in many places, all places that supply Windows-software for this but if you use OS X you have to find your own solution..." You have the SAME functionality still offered via my installers from Apple's MacOSForge Project You have multiple commercial solutions as well as noted above: Centrify, charismathics and Thursby.

OS X 10.9 Smart Card Logon But No PKINIT
by Brown, Alexander [USA] 23 Apr '15

23 Apr '15

Hello, I have smart card logon working with Mac OS X 10.9 to a Windows Active Directory domain by using cacloginconfig.plist and mapping based on the NT Principal Name. So this is working ok but when I took a look at the traffic between the Mac and the Windows domain I noticed there wasn't any Kerberos traffic and PKINIT isn't being used. Does anyone have PKINIT working with OS X 10.9 and if so can you share some steps on how that is configured? When I have my smart card in and run "kinit -C KEYCHAIN: -D KEYCHAIN: --windows --pk-enterprise" I got the error "kinit: krb5_pk_enterprise_certs: Failed to find PKINIT certificate: Certificate not found". The smart card I am using for this is the DoD CAC. Also one other question, does anyone know if any certificate revocation checking takes place on the Mac during smart card logon?

WWDC feedback
by Yoann Gini 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Hi folks, Some of you has ask me for a feedback about what I’ve seen at the WWDC this year who can be interesting for Enterprise. Since the NDA is way more permissive this year, I think I can directly post my feedback on the list. The list isn’t ordered at all. — With OS X Yosemite, MDM will be able to install application to managed computers. Standalone app and flat package will be supported. — With iOS 8 and OS X Mavericks, books distribution via MDM will be supported. — With iOS 8, MDM will be able to rename iOS devices. — With iOS 8, MDM will be able to reset pre existing password restriction. — With iOS 8, MDM will be able to configure S/MIME on a per e-mail account basis. — SSO on iOS 8 will be extended to support certificate based authentication (PKINIT). — With iOS 8 on supervised mode, MDM will be able to block erase features. — With iOS 8, all profiles pushed by a MDM will be presented as one item only and in a specific and explicit settings section (no more the « Profiles » one). — With iOS 8, MDM will be able to declare managed domain. It’s just a nice feature who will tell iOS to display non-managed domain in red (for example if the user send an e-mail to an external account, it will appear in red). — OS X Yosemite now support IKEv2 based VPN and the always on settings. And an interesting fact, we got a lot of demo of the third part app managed preferences from MDM. That’s funny because Apple with it’s own Profile Manager don’t support it at this time. We have to rely on third part one if we wan’t to use this feature. That’s all Enterprise things I’ve noticed during the conference. Tell me if you have any questions. Best regards, Yoann

Hi folks, A slightly off-topic message. Who’s going to the WWDC this year? I will be in San Francisco for the conference from Friday 30 to Monday 9. If some of you are available it could be nice to drink a beer. Yoann.
