CAC for Mac

For government and military employees, your Common Access Card (CAC) is your link to secure computers and networked resources. It features an encrypted form of credential on a smart chip located on the card.

Thursby Software has updated ADmitMac for CAC, which securely integrates Macs with the CAC architecture. ADmitMac authorizes users for a particular workstation, allows them access to network resources using secure SMB connections, and locks the workstation when the CAC is removed.

On the server side, ADmitMac works with Mac OS X Workgroup Manager to fully support Managed Desktop environments with no schema changes. It also allows for full printer sharing.

The software requires a compatible CAC reader, and Mac OS X 10.4. The software is $199, and volume discounts are available.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
