Anyone using the Horizon client successfully on MacOS with smart cards??

The client hasn't worked in 6 months for us and VMware doesn't seem to have it as a priority to fix the issue. Smart cards USB reader still cannot read the cert off the card in the client but work find with the browser.  Has anyone found a work around?

Which Smart card are you using? PIV, Java, .Net or other?

Maybe below works for you:

  • Installed corresponding Smart card driver on you Mac and disable PIVToken by below command line from Terminal.app.
    • sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.smartcard DisabledTokens -array com.apple.CryptoTokenKit.pivtoken

Notes: if you're using macOS 10.13, please make sure quit Keychain app and re-launch Horizon client.

Thanks.
