utilizing an Intel chip.
Monterey [12.x]
Officially released on 25 October
2021
I have Mac OS Monterey on
an Intel based Mac, and am able to access CAC enabled websites
using the native smart card, and adding the DoD certificates from step 5 on
https://militarycac.com/macnotes.htm
Mac OS 12.xx.x will not read the "G+D FIPS 201 SCE 7.0" or
"GEMALTO DLGX4 128Kv2" CACs with
the SCR-3310 v2.0 reader with firmware Version below 6.02. So, if your reader is
below 6.02, you may need to purchase a new reader.
If you are having
problems unlocking your settings in System
Preferences due to it not accepting your administrator password or
your CAC seemed to have stopped working after upgrading to Big Sur, please
verify if your Mac has a
T2
Security Chip. If your computer does, then
reset
your SMC (System Management Control) by powering down your computer,
then holding the power button for 10 seconds. Then turn your computer
on, you've just reset your SMC. This information was found at:
