[SmartcardServices-Users] ECA Smart Cards on Snow Leopard

Wed Mar 23 06:44:19 PDT 2011

Shawn,

I'm using CAC since Snow Leopard 10.6.5, and I have CACNG (beta) 0.95
installed.

Now that Mac OS X has been upgraded to 10.6.7  is it better for me to
remove CACNG, and if so  how?

Please feel free to reply via email, or by posting at the forum.

Thanks!

Suzanne,

ECA is in reference to the issuance (external) and is not directly related
to the Smart Card or applet versions. Most if not all newer cards being
issued in DoD are issued with a newer profile/applet (sometimes referred to
as CACNG). If you were issued a "Gemalto TOP DL GX4 144" then you can either
update to 10.6.7 or, if you have not already, you can install the beta
tokend from the SmartcardServices project downloads. The card would then be
supported/seen in Keychain Access. If you were issued a "Oberthur ID One 128
v5.5 Dual" then neither 10.6.7 nor the beta Token would help you - right
now. The CACNG Tokend here will be updated to support the Oberthur card in a
future release. Sorry for delay on this
