(I Tried that route already) ***Also- if posted in wrong forum - please move if necessary as I could not figure out where. NOTE: I know there are some out there to read 'CAC' Cards but these are NOT the same as 'PIV' Cards folks.
My questions is : Does anyone know of any hardware that can be used to read these PIV Cards - OR software to enable an external Card Reader to be recognized on a Mac Device for the purpose of reading a PIV for this 'Dual Authentication' system? These are used along with our normal Login User Id & Password too.īTW- I am using a Citrix / CAG VPN to access the Gov Agency (Non Classified obviously!) and would rather use the PIV Reader. However, those of use using any Mac / Apple products as our equipment face a challenge of the Govt Card Readers NOT being recognized on our Mac Devices, thus we (In My Govt Organization anyway) must utilize whats called 'MobilePass Tokens' which are obtained from an app downloaded from our App Store. I know there are many Govt employees here who have been allowed to 'Telework' from home and use their Personally Owned Equipment (POE) versus having a Govt Laptop assigned to them -which would entail using a Card Reader so that they could use their PIV Card to plug into one of the USB Ports off it.
