[SmartcardServices-Users] ECA Smart Card on Mac - Certificates not showing up

I have posted to this list previously about the ORC-issued ECA certificates on a Actividentity USB token not showing up in the Mac keychain.  This token works fine in Windows/ActivClient.  I was reading on this list after that (about a year ago) and someone reported that the ORC-issued ECA certificates that are provided on a smart card, do in fact work and display properly in the Mac Keychain.  My certificate was expiring soon so I took the opportunity to change from the USB token to the Smart Card.

And of course, this Smart Card does not display the certificates in the Keychain.  Why is this stuff so difficult?  I did find out through the use of the Windows ActivClient, that the "info" about this card is that it is a Gemalto Cyberflex Access 64K v2c.  Im not sure if this helps determine if there is something I can download (a new tokend perhaps?) in a similar manner in which the CACNG tokend is provided.

Previous postings by Shawn Geddis implied that my old USB token driver parsing software (or something to that effect) needed to updated for these newer cards.  Maybe the same holds true for this particular Smart Card?

Can anyone offer any help/suggestions?

Thanks,
