Common problems using PKard for Mac on High Sierra and Mojave. Here are the most common problems / solutions using PKard for Mac on High Sierra. During install, PKard Assistant will not recognize the card is available. When PKard Assistant prompts you to connect your reader and insert your card, sometimes the reader is recognized and the card is not. This video will show you how to get your CAC working on all military websites with your Mac. For future support or questions, please let us know. Hope to see you on www.Allegiancetotheflag.com.
Mac users who choose to upgrade to Mac OS Catalina (10.15.x) will need to UNINSTALL all 3rd Party CAC enablers per https://militarycac.com/macuninstall.htm and will need to reenable the built in support. Very bottom of macuninstall page.
Signing of PDFs may or may not work for you in Mac OS Catalina (10.15.x). If it doesn't work, check these settings.
Follow Tables 1 through 4 below:
PLEASE READ the preliminary Information before you start:
Preliminary Information 1: Restart your computer after installing the CAC enabler before trying to access the CAC enabled site
Preliminary Information 2: Installing multiple enabling programs will cause your system to NOT work. Here's how to uninstall CAC enablers.
Preliminary Information 3: Some of the CAC enablers below will ask for a 'keychain password' (like the image below). You need to enter your CAC PIN. Make sure if it asks for your Keychain password after you select your CAC certificate, that you use your CAC [6-8 digit / all number] PIN.

If you block your CAC, you'll have to visit an ID card office to get it unblocked. PKard and Centrify are two program listed below that have the capability to show you when your CAC is blocked. The other enablers do not have this capability. This no longer is available in Mac OS Catalina.

Note2:Need version 1.7 (or above)
Note3: Apple computers with Mac OS Mojave, High Sierra, and Sierra have a 'built in Smart Card ability,' meaning 3rd party CAC enablers 'may' not be needed. You may be able to access some DoD sites, however, some Outlook Web App sites don't play well with it. Read here on how to disable the built in ability to use CACKey or PKard. This should also remove the duplicate certificates to choose from.
Note4: Please let me know if any of these enablers work for you.
Note5: With Mac OS Sierra and High Sierra, you must use Google Chrome. Safari is not 'CAC compatible.' You may also update your computer to Mojave (or newer), then use Safari.
Note6: Mac OS Catalina will not work with any 3rd party CAC enablers. Please Read this article on Thursby's website about this.
Note7: I have a few reports that this enabler works with Mac OS Catalina
Table 2: Verify the CAC enabling program you selected above will work with your specific CAC.

Note1: PIV cert has to already be exposed
Note2: I am told PKard will somehow read a PIV without it being exposed. This would mean that it would read everyone's PIV whether they needed it or not. Please let me know of your experience. This may seem this way as new CACs are now coming with the PIVs already exposed.
Note3: Signing of PDFs should work in Mac OS Catalina (10.15.x). If it doesn't work, check these settings, some people have installed OpenSC and claims it works.
