Common Access Card Readers on Macs

By Erik Schmidt | Published: June 16, 2008

I don’t use a CAC reader, so I don’t know if this will be helpful for those of you having trouble using CAC readers with Macs. As Aaron reported earlier, it can be tricky getting them to work properly.

A contact of mine at Apple passed along this document created at the Naval Postgraduate School: CAC on a MAC: Setting up a DOD Common Access Card Reader on the Macintosh OS X Operating System. Don’t worry, it’s approved for unlimited distribution.

The report was released in March, 2006 and a Security Consulting Engineer from Apple assisted the folks who wrote it. If you’re having trouble using a CAC reader with a Mac, hopefully this report will be of some assistance.
