Lance,

If you already have enabled use of smartcards for login, you can simply click on on the “Advanced…” tab at the lower right-hand corner.

System Preferences -> Security & Privacy ->  Advanced…


This could be scripted with the following commands (Replace <username> with the actual account name):
(This ends up being the easiest syntax for many)

sudo /usr/libexec/plistbuddy -c "Add:tokenRemovalAction integer 1" /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
sudo /usr/libexec/plistbuddy -c "Add:askForPassword integer 1" /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
sudo /usr/libexec/plistbuddy -c "Add:askForPasswordDelay integer 0" /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist


You can also READ what the settings are using ‘defaults':

$ sudo defaults read  /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver

Which would give you the following:

{
    askForPassword = 1;
    askForPasswordDelay = 0;
    tokenRemovalAction = 1;
}
