Click to expand.First, I got this to work on all the INTEL Mac's but not the PPC's. Second, not sure if you installed the root certificates, but those are needed for this to work. When you are in keychain and you have your CAC Reader attached, make sure the CAC and certificates show up. This will prove that you have a good CAC reader and that it's talking to the OS.

Next check that all your certificates show up as valid, if not you will need to install the root certificate. To do this, open the certificate and scroll down in the text.

Once you have your CAC reader, plug it into your Mac and ensure your computer recognizes it. If you have one of the CAC readers we suggested above, then you should be good to go. If you are testing a different version, then verify that your Mac accepts your CAC reader by following these steps. Centrify Express.

There is a METHOD 1 and a METHOD 2 to install the root certificates. It's as simple as clicking the link and then opening the downloaded file. Lastly, check that your identities do not have a red x on them, if that's the case, then you don't have the identities set up properly.

Click to expand.It was definitely easier with 10.5.3 and got harder ever since. The trick of associating the CAC certificates URL's using identity preferences is not full proof, and for some reason doesn't work with the older PPC mac's. I am planning on buying a new laptop and with that I plan to retrograde my PPC to 10.5.3 so I can use CAC easily again. Really hoping that Apple will fix this in 10.5.7 but I don't see DoD CAC or even Smart Card as an item being addressed. I keep pinging them with complaints hoping they will address it for us in DoD. CAC for Mac 10.5.6 I'm at my wits end: I have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.6. I have an SCR331 CAC Reader with firmware 5.25.

I have followed the 'CAC for Mac v1.2' instructions, manually entering identity preferences for the NMCI OWA website. Still no joy. I've reviewed many of Shawn Geddis' posts on the Apple Fed-Talk posts, but have not found them helpful--more a discussion for developers than troubleshooting user problems. I've seen 'X509' referred to a number of times. I have no idea what this is, but it seems consistent that those running 10.5.6 don't have it. Is this possibly the problem?

There is often a situation that we can only export the data in this format from the application Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac, but the data import is not supported. Keep in mind that even if the extension is supported by the Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac, it does not necessarily mean that we will be able to edit the data in this program.

Any help much appreciated. CAC Partial Success I have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.6 (and an older MacBook that also used an external drive to devolve to 10.4.11).

I also ran WinXP in Parallels 4; I'm using SCR331 and SCR3310 CAC readers, and ActivClient 6.1 for Windows. I had mixed results with web access to various government sites, but no problem digitally signing and encrypting emails in Entourage 2004 and Outlook 2007. I could access (with some unexplained cert chain errors) the Air Force Portal, TriCare Online, and an internal Navy site under Tiger and WinXP with Safari, Firefox 3, and Internet Explorer 7 (WinXP only). I could not access AF Portal or TriCare in Safari under Leopard, or anything under Firefox in Leopard (can't point to CAC device driver.) I could authenticate to the Navy site, however. My Leopard keychain shows the certs loaded and properly authenticated.
