General Question regarding this topic.  When exactly did identity preferences for TLS authentication certificates stop being a requirement to do client side TLS with Safari?  It was introduced in 10.5 and I believe it was still a requirement in 10.6, and I know for sure it is not required in 10.8 and up... so when did it stop being a requirement for Safari to do TLS?  Was it 10.7 or 10.8.  Anything published on this?  Just trying to make sure I don't relay unnecessary guidance and it is unclear when this stopped being a feature.

It appears identity preferences for certificates if desired to use for TLS with Safari is completely deprecated and there is no such function in 10.8.  Is that correct or does Safari still recognize the identity preferences for URIs related to certificates?

I'm am currently trying to download the middleware for OX 10.8 to use my cac card reader on Safari. I was given this sight through a DOD website. All I can find in the upgrade for the middleware and not the middleware it's self. I would like to know where I can get said middleware.

I'm not really sure about what you ask, does it something specific to your corporation?

If it’s for common SSL client based side authentication you don’t need any middleware. All needs is a smartcard correctly recognized by OS X and its keychain.

When you card is seen in the keychain and unlocked, Safari can use it.

So it’s not really a middleware you need (if you are in this situation) but the card reader driver.

If it’s not your situation and you’ve something specific to your area, don’t take care of my comments.
