8 Chapter 2 Setting Up Your Smart Card
Setting Up an Account for Smart Card Access
You must have a user account to bind to the smart card, and then configure that
account to work properly with the smart card. Follow these instructions to set up a user
account for a smart card.
Setting Account Preferences
Use the Accounts preferences pane in System Preferences to create or configure the
user account that will be bound to the smart card.
To create or configure a user account for a smart card:
1 Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, and then click Accounts.
2 If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and then enter an administrator name
and password.
3 Select the user account you want to change, or if you want to create a new user, click
Add (+) and then enter the user's name and password in the Name, Password, and
Verify fields.
If you don't want to use the automatically generated short name, enter a new short
name. (After the account is created, you won't be able to change the short name).
4 If you want the user to have administrator privileges, click Password and select the
option “Allow user to administer this computer.”
5 Click Login Options.
6 Deselect the option “Automatically log in as.”
7 Deselect the option “Show the Restart, Sleep, and Shut Down buttons.”
8 Deselect the option “Enable fast user switching.”

Securing Your Idle Computer
If you want to be sure that the computer is secured when it is idle, you can require
users to authenticate using the smart card and PIN when they wake the computer from
sleep or return to the desktop from a screen saver.
To require user authentication:
1 Open System Preferences, and then click Security.
2 If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and then enter an administrator name
and password.
3 Select the option “Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver.”
