Easy solution to use a SmartCard with a 15″ MacBook Pro

vpn

I am looking for a simple solution that would enable my MacBook Pro to read smartcards and use them with Cisco AnyConnect VPN solution.

Do you know what cards are supported on OS X Lion?

I'd imagine any USB smart card reader should work. Here's one from the Apple site, assuming your card is similar looking to this - http://store.apple.com/us/product/H2312LL/A

Sorry; I forgot to update the web page when I switched to autoconf. I'll fix it.

Run ./configure and then make.

Why didn't you ask this on the mailing list though; I only happened to come across this question by pure chance.

It always confuses me when users ask questions about my software on random web fora instead of sending questions to me or the mailing list I specifically set up for them to use... :)

MacOS – Routing all traffic except a few IP-ranges though default gateway in Mountain Lion

If you configure your VPN server to allow split tunneling, this will work without any need to configuree your vpn client or the network on the Mac.

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/anyconnect-secure-mobility-client/119006-configure-anyconnect-00.html

Split-tunneling is used in scenarios where only specific traffic must be tunneled, opposed to scenarios where all of the client machine-generated traffic flows across the VPN when connected. Use of the AnyConnect Configuration Wizard will by default result in a tunnel-all configuration on the ASA. Split tunnelling must be configured separately, which is explained in further detail in the Split Tunnel section of this document.
