Worked for a while, but no longer
I have had this CAC reader for over a year. It worked great out of the box for 10.6 and 10.7, however, 10.8 destroyed that progres s. Downloading the enabler from Centrify fixed the issue with 10.8. However, this past week the device just stopped working. I am not sure why, but now if I plug it into any Mac that mac no longer works for any other card reader until you reboot. Just tried this out on a co-worker's laptop and forced a reboot for him. Once rebooted our systems will work with our other CAC readers as long as I don't plug this one back in.
Also, it is a space hog when expanded. Cute and compact until you want to use it. I had to buy a hub just so I could use it with my laptop. Not worth the cuteness. …- Written by Erin S from San Diego

Can i use this to connect to Microsoft VPN?
- Asked by Jatin S from Redmond
- May 24, 2013
Answer
Short Answer: Yes (on OS X).
Detailed Answer: Depends on your environment.
This is simply a S mart Card Reader. For VPN connectivity you would need other correct components in place:
1) Tokend - Low-level comms to the Card Application (ie. Applet)
(What Application profile you have determines what Tokend you need)
2) VPN Services - VPN (PPTP, L2TP over IPSec, IPSec) is built into the Networking
Services of OS X. SSL VPN would be established using a browser (ie. Safari)
and would be reliant on the implementation of the VPN Vendor properly
using the Keychain APIs.
So, it would work for you, but this is not all you need for VPN connectivity. …- Answered by Shawn G from Fairfax

Does the SCR3500 Smart Card Reader only allow you to sign in with your CAC to sites like AKO and DTS or does it also allow you to digitally sign forms
- Asked by Michele A from Petersburg
- May 19, 2012
Best Answer
This is just the hardware device (smart card reader) like you would purchase other readers to access your CAC on any platform. This device allows the physical card to be accessed by software running on the computer via the USB port. This reader is CCID compliant and can be used on any platform.
Any software (Native in the OS -OR- from third-party providers) would be required to use the certificates & private keys on the card to perform tasks such as signing forms as you asked. You have several options available to you both from Open Source and Commercial resources. …- Answered by Shawn G from Fairfax
