So...what is the corrective action when the Smart Card doesn't appear in the keychain even though pcscd is running and pcsctest is successful?

Reader is SCR 3310 Card is Gemalto

Gemalto Mac library dated 22 April 2010 installed.

Paul, You need a tokend for the Gemalto card in use for the card to appear in Keychain and be used by Mac OS X Apps using native Security APIs (i.e. Keychain APIs). If you are using the Gemalto PKCS#11 Library then a card would not appear in the Keychain, but would be usable by PKCS#11 based applications. On the flip side.... Note that with a supporting Tokend for a card you are using, the card could also be used within a PKCS#11 based application (i.e. Firefox) without a PKCS#11 library by using the PKCS11Shim provided in Mac OS X (first developed via MacOSForge Project). If you have this, point your PKCS#11-based application to use the following: /usr/libexec/SmartCardServices/pkcs11/tokendPKCS11.so -Shawn __________________________________________________ Shawn Geddis geddis@mac.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 __________________________________________________
