I don't have experience with it, but it seems like the Apple Keychain JCE would be an alternative. -- T

====================================== REPOSTING
No response the first time so trying one more time ======================================
The new SmartCardsService 2.0 is great. Works like a champ for us in a DoD environment.
We are tying to get back to a point where we can use our CACs with Java, with a specific goal of using jsvn with Forge.mil.
For a while were able to do a jsvn and CoolKeys combo. We would have to add the PKCS11 security provider to Java and it would point to the /usr/libexec/SmartCardServices/pkcs11/tokendPKCS11.so. Then there was a brief window where the Apple supplied Java eliminated the need for CoolKeys. That was short lived as I think it was lost in the shift to 64-bit Java.
In Mavericks with SmartCardServices 2.0, is there a PKCS11 provider that we can point to? The SCardServices and SCardTokend page refers to a tokendPKCS11.so shim but we don't see it installed anywhere. Are we missing something? Or do we still need a third party piece? FWIW, in our testing OpenSC is only working for some tasks (e.g. keytool) and only with debug enabled; CoolKeys isn't readily available, is 32 bit only and hasn't been updated in a while.
Thanks.
