Cac Card Reader Scr3310 Software For Mac

You can get started using your CAC on your Mac OS X system by following these. Typically Macs do not come with card readers and therefore an external card. Options are Thursby Software's PKard and Centrify's Express for Smart Card. How to use SCR3310 CAC reader on Snow Leopard? I have never tried to set this up before and a little baffled by the process, but I have a 2009 MacBook that I just recently traded my old laptop in for and I don't know how to set up the card reader.

My CAC was working perfectly with Centrify Express in OS X 10.9 Since upgrading to Yosemite, I've noticed an intermittent issue. On first booting the computer, I can plug in my USB CAC reader (SCR3310 v2.0) and it will successfully read my CAC (Oberthur ID One 128 v5.5 Dual). Radeon hd 6950 2gb.

After so many hours or days, the CAC reader is still detected under System Information, but the CAC card itself no longer is detected, doesn't show up in Keychain Access, and the Smart Card Assistant app can't detect it either. When it works normally, putting my CAC in causes the green light to blink. When it isn't reading the card properly, I just get a solid green light for a second or two and then it turns off.

The card and reader still work properly in Windows 7 inside VirtualBox, even if OS X isn't detecting the card. Caveat: I have the PIV/CAC issue, so I have to hide the CAC.tokend and CACNG.tokend files in a temp directory in order for my Enterprise Email to work correctly (see the other thread I started). Rebooting my Mac will fix the issue temporarily, but eventually it stops reading the CAC.

Hi chikpee, If your Mac is having trouble with the CAC Reader itself, then you'll need to check with the card reader manufacturers to see if there is an updated firmware to make it more reliable with Yosemite. Centrify Express for Smart Card only comes into play after the system is able to detect the card and place it in the Keychain. If the light on the card reader isn't even coming on properly, then it's a hardware issue. See here for some tips on finding the right firmware for your card: - I also recommend you follow the steps here to make sure there is no other software or drivers that might get in the way: - Note that the PIV/CAC issue should be fixed in the latest version of Smart Card Express, see here for more info: - Kind regards, Brian. I doubt it's a hardware issue. I actually have two of the same model of card reader and they both behave this way when OS X decides to stop reading the card.

They still show up in the System Information as CAC readers, so OS X is recognizing the reader.it's just that OS X stops reading the card. When it's acting this way, if I insert a card, I get a solid green light for a few seconds, instead of the normal blinking green light, and it never shows up in Keychain Access. Like I said, if I reboot OS X, it goes back to functioning normally and reading the card.for a while, but eventually it stops working properly and I have to do another reboot.

Also, as I mentioned in the last post, even if OS X isn't reading the card, using Windows 7 inside VirtualBox on the same Mac will successfully detect and read the card. That's a software issue.

Sorry to dredge this one up from the grave, but I continue to have issues with my CAC appearing in the Keychain. Saw, for instance, I reboot my Mac and run it normally, I can plugin any card reader, insert my CAC, and everything works fine. It shows up in Keychain Access, I can use it along with Centrify to login to sites, etc. Eventually, seemingly at random, it will stop working.

The System Information app will still show it as a 'SCR33xx v2.0 USB SC Reader' the same as when it's working properly. But when I plug in the CAC, I get a solid green light for a while, instead of the blinking green light, and it won't show up at all in Keychain Access. I've played around to try to figure out if it's tied to sleep/wake, plugging in other hardware, using Virtualbox and passing USB devices to it, etc.but I can't find any pattern behind why it suddenly stops reading cards.

I tried all the Cleanup and Reinstall steps, but to no avail. I have two of this type of CAC reader (SCR3310 v2.0, seems to be the most common one that the Army hands out) and both of them behave this way. I'm running version 5.2.0 (520218) of Smart Card Assistant and version 40596 of the BELPIC and PIV drivers. I.think. I have the latest firmware for my CAC reader, but it's hard to tell.

Here's a copy/paste of it's info from System Information: SCR33xx v2.0 USB SC Reader: Product ID: 0x5116 Vendor ID: 0x04e6 (Shuttle Technology) Version: 3.04 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Manufacturer: SCM Microsystems Location ID: 0x14200000 / 8 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): 100 Without Centrify installed, my CAC never shows up in Keychain Access at all. So is this a Centrify issue or a firmware issue?

Hi chikpee, That's extremely odd that it would just stop working halfway through after working ok - first I've heard of this kind of thing happening. Since the card and reader is operational at the beginning, it sounds like a cache somewhere is filling up and not getting cleared properly - then when you reboot the system the cache gets cleared and things are ok again for a while. The only cache that I can think of from the software side would be here: /var/db/TokenCache/tokens/ When the card stops working, remove the whole reader from the USB and then run the following command: sudo rm -rf /var/db/TokenCache/tokens/. Then re-insert the reader and see if the Keychain can get populated again. If that does not work, then you may need to check with the card reader manufactorer to verify that you have the latest available firmware for your readers. Kind regards, Brian.
