I was so excited when I found out I can use my CAC on my Apple MacBook Pro. For the past two years I've been using a virtual machine to run Windows XP so that I could access my work email and AKO. It's a pain to memorize all those lengthy passwords that we have. Pin codes, Essentris codes, Omnicell codes, and the list goes on.
Having just upgraded to Snow Leopard (just to play the Left for Dead II via Steam for $6) and have gotten a new CAC this year, this site was able to help me install the software I needed for my MBP to see my CAC, see my certificates, set website permissions for them, and plug them into my keychain access login folder.
Now I can get my work email from anywhere I have internet! Only if I could access the Sharepoint intranet from outside the hospital I could do most of my extra duties in the comfort of my own home...
I do hope some IMD guru comes out with a secure app for my iPhone to check my stuff on the go. Even though having work email with me everywhere I go may seem like a drag, I find out while being on shift work that I miss out on opportunities such as TDY events, assignment opportunities, or even that a free tickets to "that show" are being given away for free in the PAO.
Here's the site for those interested: http://www.militarycac.com/apple.htm
Side note: I'm happy to say that I'm going HOME for Christmas this year and not going to work Christmas like I did last year.
