Shawn,

I'm using CAC since Snow Leopard 10.6.5, and I have CACNG (beta) 0.95 installed.

Now that Mac OS X has been upgraded to 10.6.7 – is it better for me to remove CACNG, and if so – how?

Please feel free to reply via email, or by posting at the forum.

Thanks!

Suzanne,

ECA is in reference to the issuance (external) and is not directly related to the Smart Card or applet versions. Most if not all newer cards being issued in DoD are issued with a newer profile/applet (sometimes referred to as CACNG). If you were issued a "Gemalto TOP DL GX4 144" then you can either update to 10.6.7 or, if you have not already, you can install the beta tokend from the SmartcardServices project downloads. The card would then be supported/seen in Keychain Access. If you were issued a "Oberthur ID One 128 v5.5 Dual" then neither 10.6.7 nor the beta Token would help you - right now. The CACNG Tokend here will be updated to support the Oberthur card in a future release. Sorry for delay on this

Has anyone made or heard of any progress with regards to ECA Smart Cards on Snow Leopard?  The last update I can find is that the card shows up in Keychain Access but the certificates aren't available.

Thanks for any info,
Suzanne

Not sure what "ECA" stands for, but I got a new badge on Friday. It is an
Oberthur ID One 128 v5.5 Dual. It didn't work with my OSX 10.6.6, ActiveCard
reader. I went to www.militarycac.com/snowleopard.htm. It has a "Gemalto TOP
DL GX4 144" fix for free. It didn't work with my Oberthur card. But I
noticed a "new" link on this page to PKard by Thursby Software. It costs
$29.95. Thursby offers free trials but not for PKard. I downloaded the free
trial for ADmit Mac PKI ($239 for 1 year license!).

Keychain Access 4.1 sees my certificates, and I have access again.

I plan to buy PKard as Thursby states on its website that PKard is just for
remote user access which is all I need. The ADmit Mac PKI free trial is only
for 3 weeks.

If you hear of a free fix, please let me know.
