Has anyone been able to set up a CAC card reader on a MAC laptop?

I have. Go to the link that SGT Edward Wilcox shared. Read everything FIRST. It was a lot of work with trial & error, but I eventually got it to work. Then the Army changed something, somewhere. Eventually got it to work again, then they changed something....

Going forward, as soon as I go off of orders, I will just use the wife's windows laptop for any Army needs.

I have the finish line in sight! I have been using MilitaryCAC.com, downloading a ton of DA Root certificates, messing with my Keychain Access, and banging my head against a wall for about 2 weeks now. I decided to say screw it and buy the Thursby PKard software, and I think it's going to work once I get a Mac compatible CAC reader!
