Are you looking for Apple support for 2-factor security for the latest US Government CAC, PIV or commercial PIV-I or CIV smart cards? HSPD-12, OMB-11-11, FIPS 201, FIPS 201-2, SOX, PCI or HIPAA compliance? Need Apple help with PKI, or adoption of EMV (over 1 billion issued worldwide in 2011), Medicare CAC or Health Identity smart cards (over 225 million issued worldwide in 2011)? To offer organizational or personal (Bring Your Own Device or BYOD) Apple devices with authentication? To better manage your Macs with Windows-based Identity and Access Management (IAM)? To integrate Macs with Microsoft Active Directory, flexibly from either the PC-side or the Mac-side? Replace your end-of-life Apple Xserve or OS X Server environments? Single sign-on (SSO) or network home folders? To reduce staff costs and risks associated with OSS? Simplify administration work? Cut back on help desk calls by providing a transparent Mac user experience?
ADmitMac PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) has been the market-leading software in Mac-Windows Active Directory integration with smart cards since 2006, with unmatched experience in large-scale deployments in complex network environments. In 2011, PKard for Mac and PKard for iOS (that's iPads and iPhones) were launched to help the large pool of Government and business employees and contractors looking for secure access to web portals, web mail, web VPN and email rather than full blown SSO login and AD integration. The Defense Travel (DTS) web site alone has 3,000,000 users, many of whom have Apple devices.
