About the Federal Smart Card Package
The Apple Federal Smart Card Package (FSCP) is software you install on a Macintosh computer
that lets users gain access to the computer using a Department of Defense Common Access
Card.
Users can use a Common Access Card to verify their permission to
m
Log in to the computer
m
Access the computer when the screen saver is on
m
Make changes to some System Preferences panes
m
Install software
To use FSCP, you need the following:
m
A Macintosh computer with Mac OS X v10.2.3 installed
m
A Department of Defense Common Access Card issued since 2001
m
An SCM Microsystems SCR331 USB High Speed EMV Reader
You can also use one of these smart card readers, but you must download and install driver
software from the manufacturer’s website:
m
Gemplus GemPC430 USB Smart Card Reader
m
OMNIKEY CardMan Desktop USB 2020
m
Schlumberger Sema Reflex USB v.2 Reader or Reflex USB Lite Reader
If you are using your own directory service for user accounts, you need to be connected to
your network.
Users should also be connected the first time they log in using the Common Access Card so
that FSCP can access any Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL) needed to verify certificates.
