FSCP Installation and Setup Guide
Installing the Federal Smart Card Package
To install the Apple Federal Smart Card Package:
1
Log in as an administrator for your computer and insert the FSCP installation disc.
The user you created when you set up Mac OS X is an administrator.
2
Double-click the “FederalSmartCardPackage.pkg” icon on the CD.
A message asks you to enter your password and restart the computer.
3
Follow the onscreen instructions to install the software.
FSCP installs the software necessary to use your smart card reader. It also installs the
ReadCAC application in the Smartcard folder in Applications/Utilities.
Setting Up the Federal Smart Card Package
After you install the FSCP software, you need to set up your computer and the software. This
includes setting up user accounts, setting login options, adding the EDI Identifier for each
smart card to the FSCP software, and setting up the FSCP software.
Setting Up User Accounts
Each person using a smart card to log in to a computer needs a user account. You can use
existing user accounts on the computer or create new accounts. You can also use user
accounts in an existing directory service, such as LDAP or Active Directory. To learn more
about doing this, see “Setting Up FSCP to Use Other Directories” later in this document.
To create a user account on the computer:
1
Open System Preferences and click Accounts, then click New User.
To create a user, you need to log in as an administrator of the computer or click the lock icon
in the Accounts preferences pane and enter an administrator name and password.
2
Type a name and short name for the user that is different from other user accounts.
3
Type a password for the user account. Users can change their password later using the My
Account preferences pane.
4
If you want, select the “Allow user to administer this computer” checkbox.
5
Click Save.
6
If automatic login is turned on, a message asks if you want to turn it off. You should turn it
off.
