Ensure Your CAC Card Meets the Standards: In order for your CAC card to work, it must meet the minimal requirements. Currently, there are only four types of CAC cards that can be used. The ensure you have the right CAC card for online access, flip your CAC card to the back and if you have one of the below numbers written on the top left, then you are good to go:
IT administrators can set up their Windows domain to allow YubiKeys to be used as smart cards for login to connected Windows systems. Use the YubiKey Manager for Windows, which includes both a Graphical User Interface and a Command Line Tool to create PIN Unlock Keys (PUK)s on YubiKey devices for customers that require the use of a PUK.

Often referred to as a Smart Card, the Common Access Card (or CAC) is the shape of a credit card, and is embedded with a data chip allowing specialized access. In addition to the embedded chip, Smart Cards are usually programmed with a PIN to ensure security for both the card holder and the system being accessed. Having reached tremendous adoption rates outside of the U.S., Smart Cards are now rapidly growing in this country to combat credit card fraud, while also providing the next generation of secure and user friendly identification. The federal government issues Common Access Cards programmed with a Personal Identification Verification (PIV) chip containing the data necessary for the cardholder to be properly identified and granted access to secure federal facilities and information systems. Smart Cards have been in use by the federal government in accordance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) since 2006, and now the technology is rapidly spreading to banking, healthcare and other areas requiring identity verification and secured access.
Q1: Do i need some kind of adapter to put my nano sim card into the reader because sim card slot is bigger than nano?A: Yes, you need a adapter to help you put the nano sim card into the reader.
Citrix Workspace app for Mac supports using multiple certificates with a single smart card or with multiple smart cards. When your user inserts a smart card into a card reader, the certificates are available to all applications running on the device, including Citrix Workspace app for Mac.
There are multiple usable certificates when you use a smart card to authenticate a connection. Citrix Workspace app for Mac prompts you to select a certificate. After you select a certificate, Citrix Workspace app for Mac prompts you to enter the smart card password. Once authenticated, the session launches.
If there is only one suitable certificate on the smart card, Citrix Workspace app for Mac uses that certificate and does not prompt you to select it. However, you must still enter the password associated with the smart card to authenticate the connection and to start the session.

2017-03-20: Bryan Berns, with help from @jdantzler and @k3it, has updated PuTTY-CAC to sync with the upstream PuTTY 0.68. Since I have been slow in merging the upstream, I recommend that users of PuTTY-CAC pull from his repository: -cac/releases 2015-12-29: PuTTY-CAC has been updated to sync with PuTTY0.66. The updated version is availableat -cac/tree/0.66-sync 2015-09-23: The version Josh published had some bugs that made the CAPI support mostly broken. I believe these are fixed by the 2015-09-23 patchset. 2015-08-14: Josh Dantzler has updated PuTTY-CAC to be synchronized with PuTTY-0.65. [UPDATE: Because these versions had errors that made the CAPI support not work, they were basically useless to an end user and the download links have been removed.] WARNING: The PKCS11 API originally from PuTTY-SC has been removed from all applications in this PuTTY-CAC Suite due to complications Josh was having with the code. However, CAPI support is still functional. If you need to use PKCS11, then DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY OF THESE VERSIONS. Instead, download an older release of 0.62 which has support for PKCS11. If you need PKCS11 support, please file an issue at the github repository. 2012-09-18: the source code has been moved to github at -cac. This version is synchronized with PuTTY-0.62, and also includes support for Microsoft's Cryprographic API (CAPI). CAPI support should be easier to configure for most users and also allows use of soft-certs. Use of CAPI instead of PKCS#11 is now recommended. binaries My own binaries are now out-of-date. Please use -cac/releases instead. source Source is at -cac notes PuTTY-CAC is derived from PuTTY and PuTTY SC. (See below for the pedigree.) It should support other smartcards as well, but has not been tested to do so. PuTTY-CAC was developed by Dan Risacher. U.S. Department of Defense users can also obtain this software from _cac Note that the version on forge.mil is temporarily out-of-date, as of 2015-12-29. CAPI configuration PCKS#11 Configuration Use the "Pkcs11" panel to configure PuTTY SCfor smartcard usage. Note: these settings are used by the SSHagent as well. 'Use Windows event log' Writes log messages to the Windows event log too. This might be helpful for debugging.
'Attempt PKCS#11 smartcard auth (SSH-2)' Thisoption is used to enable smartcard authentication ingeneral.
'PKCS#11 library for authentication' Specify thenecessary library (.dll) to access your smartcard. See below forsome DoD middleware files.
'Token label' Specify the name of yoursmartcard. It's the same name you usually see when getting prompted toenter the password when accessing the smartcard for cryptographicoperations, e.g. when signing email.
'Certificate label' Thelabel given to the certificate corresponding to the private and publickey you want use for authentication.
SSH keystringYou must store your public key in the $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the server.
Unfortunately, some PKCS#11 middleware does not work well with this dialog, and the configuration dialog does not work properly. In addition to the "SSH Keystring" box in the user interface, the public key can be exported via the event log of PuTTY (it's written as a base64 encoded string to the event log when connecting to the server). Just copy/paste this string. It should look like'ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAA.....ZHkknlDE7jhQ== token-key'.

Please email me with others if you learn them. Pedigree PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. It is written and maintained primarily by Simon Tatham. PuTTY is great, but I thought it would be cooler if it could use PKI tokens for authentication. PuTTY SC is a free implementation of SSH for Win32 platform. It was developed by Pascal Buchbinder. This modified version of PuTTY supports RSA keys held on a smartcard or usb token for authentication. The interface is based on PKCS #11 and you need the appropriate library (.dll) of the manufacturer of your smartcard in order to use PuTTY SC. PuTTY SC is pretty cool too, but the implementation makes a critical assumption about the smartcard that isn't always true: namely, that the smartcard contains the public key as an independent object. The DoD CAC program issues tokens that include private keys and public certificates, but does not include public keys as distinct objects. Public certificates include public keys, but the implementation in PuTTY SC will not extract those public keys from the certificates. PuTTY-CAC fixes this. PuTTY-CAC is based on PuTTY SC, but adds the capability to extract public keys from certificates on the card if the public key is not available as a distinct object. Other implementation notes: PuTTY SC, upon which PuTTY-CAC is based, includes some windows-specific code (for loading the PKCS#11 library) which causes it to lose the cross-platform nature of the original PuTTY. As a Mac and Linux user, I'd love to fix this, but I haven't done so. X.509, the ITU-T standard for public key certificates, leaves a disturbing amount of flexibility. It's not clear that the assumptions that I made in extracting public keys from certificates will always hold. I tested with several DoD CAC cards, but nothing else. I'd like to get feedback on whether PuTTY CAC works with other PKI implementations. PKCS#11 Libraries: PuTTY CAC was tested with the Litronics NetSign CAC middleware, and with the ActivIdentity ActivClient CAC middleware. Feedback is requested by the author on whether it works or not with other middleware. Licensing: The basic PuTTY source code is licensed under the MIT license. PuTTY SC is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The PuTTY-CAC enhancements were written by a direct employee of the United States Federal Government, and as such, those enhancements are a declared work of the United States Government and are not subject to copyright protection.
