Hi!

I just realized that the smartcard service (2.0) doesn’t work for the CAC I have. So how can I uninstall the software? It’s a service, not an Mac app. There is no instruction on the smartcard service wiki on how to install it..

Thanks!

Nick, Sorry there was confusion here. All that was installed were “Tokend” modules to support various Smart Cards (BELPIC, CAC, CACNG, PIV) There is no need to remove them, since they will only load when you insert a card – will be used to communicate with the appropriate card. If you still prefer to remove them, simply remove them from the Tokend directory: /System/Library/Security/tokend/ You can do this as follows (for a specific Tokend: sudo rm -R /System/Library/Security/tokend/CACNG.tokend Of just remove all of the Tokend modules if you would like (this will remove support for all card types): sudo rm -R /System/Library/Security/tokend/*.tokend Will look to provide a removal tool in the future for folks that want to remove all or specific Tokend modules. As noted earlier, there is no need to remove them, but it does not hurt to do so if you do not use them. -Shawn __________________________________________________ Shawn Geddis geddis@me.com Security Consulting Engineer geddis@apple.com MacOSForge Project Lead: Smart Card Services Web: http://smartcardservices.macosforge.org/ Lists: http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo __________________________________________________
