ADmitMac PKI v5
Mac OS X Active Directory, Group Policy & Single Sign-On with enterprise CAC/PIV smart card support
ADmitMac® PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) turns a Mac into a true Active Directory client with two-factor smart card authentication for domain/network login. Today, PKI is in its fifth generation after seven years on the market, longer than any other vendor, including Apple itself. PKI is a one-stop commercial and fully supported solution for Mac-Windows management and security needs, ensuring compliance with standards such as HSDP-12, OMB-11-11 and FIPS 201.
If simpler support is required, for web, web VPN and email with smart card authentication, we recommend PKard for Mac.
$144/Mac or less at typical enterprise quantity (+) with no unnecessary new server or cloud software required.
