Checkpoint Endpoint Security on Mac with CardOS 5.3 PKI smart card certificate

[Oliver142544]

Hello,

I just switched from Windows and I would like to setup the Checkpoint Endpoint Security (latest version) on MacOS, but it doesn't recognize my smart card in the list.

The smart card is a PKCS#15 Atos CardOS 5.3 with an USB Gemalto Reader. The certificate is on the smart card, it's not possible to export, it should be used from the card with a pin code.

MacOS doesn't see the card or the certificates "security list-smartcard" and other commands says No smartcards found, however, I download OpenSC and with that everything is visible, the card, the reader and all certificates on the card.

I downloaded many smart card tools as well and only the Personal Nexus software is able to recognize the card and the certificates, but on the checkpoint the list is empty. I installed also the latest version of Gemalto SafeNet Authentication Client (SAC) which also didn't recognize the card.

On Windows we used CSP+ software for the card/certificate recognition, but that's not available on mac and besides mac handles card totally differently.

Please help me to find a solution for this problem.

Many thanks,
