This article is intended for system administrators who set security policy in enterprise environments that require smart card authentication.
macOS includes a modern architecture that supports smart cards. This architecture is based on the CryptoTokenKit framework, which supports authentication, encryption, and signing functions, plus MDM controls for managing smart cards within Enterprise environments. Starting with macOS Catalina, legacy smart card support that uses TokenD will be disabled by default.
Before you upgrade to macOS Catalina
If you want to migrate from legacy TokenD to modern CryptoTokenKit-based smart card services after upgrading to macOS Catalina, follow these steps:
- Sep 28, 2018 If you apply the smart card-only policy before you enable smart card-only authentication, a user can get locked out of their computer. To fix this issue, remove the smart card-only policy: Turn on your Mac, then immediately press and hold Command-R to start up from macOS Recovery. Release the keys when you see the Apple logo, a spinning globe.
- Contactless (RFID 125 kHz) smart card reader, CCID driver for PC, Thin- and Zero Client HID® OMNIKEY® 5022. Enables strong authentication to computer, software, network or cloud applications, supporting 13.56 MHz credentials such as iCLASS®, iCLASS Seos OTP, DESFire®.
1. Make sure that any third-party apps that you use support CryptoTokenKit.
2. Verify that
com.apple.CryptoTokenKit.pivtoken
doesn't appear in the output of this Terminal command:defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.smartcard DisabledTokens
If it does, you can remove the PIV token from the DisabledTokens array by deleting the entire array:
