No idea. Shaw Geddis used to deliver new versions. The version for El Capitan does not work on Sierra? Bye, -- Dr. Ludovic Rousseau
First, in my experience correctly implemented tokend (and PKCS#11 libraries) running on El Capitan continue to run correctly on Sierra. Second, there is a set of tokends and libraries known to run on Sierra: current master of OpenSC and OpenSC.tokend fork, latest CACKey (was updated for Sierra), PKard (haven’t checked that one myself on Sierra, but Thursby has good tech support). Finally, Sierra comes out of the box with its own CTK-based pivtoken that runs OK with PIV cards (and current CAC that are PIV-compatible). — Regards, Uri On 12/19/16, 4:03 AM, "smartcardservices-users-bounces@lists.macosforge.org on behalf of Ludovic Rousseau" <smartcardservices-users-bounces@lists.macosforge.org on behalf of ludovic.rousseau@gmail.com> wrote: Hello, 2016-12-16 20:05 GMT+01:00 Shiro, Brian <bshiro@usgs.gov>: > When will a MacOS Sierra version of Smart Card Services be available?

I tried the El Capitan version of Smart Card Services on Sierra with no success. The installer gave up immediately with an error saying the OS was wrong. Hoping Sierra's new built-in Smart Card tokends might work without having to install anything extra, I had tried that first. That too did not work. I did not know I had a Smart Card reader connected at all. Brian
