Anyone integrated Smart Card Service logon with Open Directory ? Been looking for some how to's but no luck so far.
I imagine it would be a matter of modifying the LDAP Authorization attributes, unless password server supports this which i dont think it does.

Mike,

There are two methods available today that were documented in an old Apple KBase article (which needs to be updated) , but a third one is what most folks are looking for and it is coming in the future....

Available Today
Method 1: PubKeyHash Designates Identity to be used for Challenge 
- Adds a ;pubkeyhash;  value to AuthenticationAuthority attribute
Method 2: Attribute Matching Designates Attributes to be used for Lookup in DS for Match prior to Challenge
- Defined within the cacloginconfig.plist file for defined matching


Coming in the future from Apple but available from third-party products today
Method 3: PKINIT
Which gives you SSO to your DS from your Smart Card (X.509 Cert)

3rd-Party Products
"ADmitMac for CAC" Thursby Software Systems
"DirectControl" Centrify
