First you need Mac OS X Version 10.4 or later. Older version are supposed to not work well, but if you try and have success, please report here. I report! it worked for me under 10.3.9 G4 1,2Ghz, and i can use my mpmanF50 again. Thanks. reach me nicolasb at gmaildotcom. French tutorial here : http://nicolasbizard.free.fr/blog
Then you need a driver for your smart card reader. Hier is an examle for Axalto e-gate tokens: * Download and install libusb. http://libusb.sourceforge.net/ * Download ifd-egate from http://www.luusa.org/~wbx/sc/ifd-egate-0.05-patched.tar.gz
To install libusb, you need to extract the files, configure it, make, make install:
wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/libusb/libusb-0.1.10a.tar.gz tar xfvz libusb-0.1.10a.tar.gz cd libusb-0.1.10a ./configure --prefix=/opt/smartcard make make install cd ..
To install ifd-egate you need to extract the files, and use some environment variables to make sure it finds everything (or edit the compile options in the Makefile directly):
wget http://www.luusa.org/~wbx/sc/ifd-egate-0.05-patched.tar.gz tar xfvz ifd-egate-0.05-patched.tar.gz cd ifd-egate-0.05 export USB_CFLAGS="-I/opt/smartcard/include -I/System/Library/Frameworks/PCSC.framework/Headers" export USB_LDFLAGS="-L/opt/smartcard/lib -lusb -Wl,-framework -Wl,PCSC" make -f Makefile-OSX clean make -f Makefile-OSX make -f Makefile-OSX install export USB_CFLAGS= export USB_LDFLAGS= cd ..
Last you need to download and install opensc. This is straight forward: download, extract, configure, make, make install.
wget http://www.opensc.org/files/opensc-0.9.6.tar.gz tar xfvz opensc-0.9.6.tar.gz cd opensc-0.9.6 ./configure --prefix=/opt/smartcard --sysconfdir=/etc make make install cd ..
Mac OS X does include openssh, but unfortunatly compiled without smartcard support. Here is how you can recompile openssh with it:
wget ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/openssh-4.1p1.tar.gz tar xfvz openssh-4.1p1.tar.gz cd openssh-4.1p1 ./configure --prefix=/opt/smartcard --sysconfdir=/etc --with-opensc=/opt/smartcard make make install cd ..
