MacOS 14 (Sonoma) Smart Card Reader Non-functional

Same here.. I'm having this issue after upgrading yesterday to Sonoma (14.0). SafeNet Authentication Client doesn't recognize my usb key

Same issue for me on <b>Sonoma (14.0)</b>. Has anyone found a workaround?

I passed this issue by switching the value "Allow accessories to access" to Automatically when unlocked or Always

Just upgraded to macOS 14.1 Beta (23B5046f) (The developer beta for Sonoma 14.1 next release) and the smart card still doesnt work :(

I GOT IT WORKING in macOS 14.1 Beta (23B5046f) by INSTEAD of connecting by USB, I connected with BlueTooth using the GBDM App (Gemalto Card Reader for Barclays iPortal login) and connecting the card reader by BLUETOOTH (which has NEVER been possible in Ventura, it always failed to connect)

Im now logged into Barclays iPortal!! Woot Woot! Party!

Now I have a VAT return to do ... boooooooo.

Ha there been any update? I have tried two USB readers and opensc, but the card never seems to be read

I installed the CCID Drivers 1.5.2. Now it is working. https://www2.swift.com/3skey/help/mac_support.html

Got mine to work. My reader is the SCR3310. I just went to the developer website and re-downloaded the driver for the reader.

Hope this works for others as well!

I had been using a Saicoo card reader (FBA_S0201B-SSM) which was working fine on macOS 13 (Ventura). Upon upgrading to Sonoma 14.0, the reader stopped functioning. I then purchased the Belkin F1DN008U card reader and it works out of the box with no additional drivers. I also have heard success with the Identiv SCR3310v2.0 card reader on macOS 14.0. Hope this helps if someone is encountering the same issue. It appears like there may be some card readers that stop functioning on macOS 14.0 due to the built in driver not being compatible.

I used I have safenet authentication client with PKCS11-Token e i got the same problem

Same problem here. I use Safenet. I can not unlock my token.

My card reseller has sent me a hotfix for SafeNet users. I uploaded it to on my Github: https://github.com/smuhlaci/safenet-macos14-fix/releases/tag/main

You should uninstall your current middleware(removing the SafeNet folder in Applications/ worked fine), then install the .dmg file in the link.

Using an IOGEAR GSR20, can login to a citrix remote desktop instance but it crashes immediately and the card reader "green light" goes offs. Only a restart will restore it but the same thing happens. I've noticed software installers that accept PIV/smart card pins will crash on entering it too.

Steps I took to fix this issue:

Make sure you have installed both libusb and pkg-config from brew.

1. Download the latest CCID driver from here https://ccid.apdu.fr/files/ and unzip it
2. In terminal, cd to where the libs from libusb are installed (mine was in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/libusb/1.0.26/lib) and run these 2 commands:
   • mv libusb-1.0.dylib libusb-1.0.lib
   • mv libusb-1.0.0.dylib libusb-1.0.0.lib
3. cd to where you the CCID stuff and run these 2 commands:
   • pkg-config --libs libusb-1.0
   • pkg-config --cflags libusb-1.0
4. Install the driver using these commands:
   • ./MacOSX/configure
   • make
   • sudo make install

Assuming you've followed along correctly and everything ran without issues, you should now have a new CCID driver installed in /usr/local/libexec/SmartCardServices/drivers/ifd-ccid.bundle.

Once you have made all your changes, in order for this driver to take effect you have to reboot the system.

I do not know what else to do. I went through every step at least twice. I uninstalled and reinstalled certificates. I updated the drivers. No dice. Everything was working fine a few weeks ago. My card reader and CAC works on other computers without an issue so it is definitely an issue with the macOS Sonoma.
