2.1 System requirements
This section contains information about the required operating systems, MyID versions, devices, and smart card readers.
2.1.1 Supported client operating systems
The MyID Client for Mac requires an Apple Mac computer with ARM-based M series Apple silicon running the one of the following operating system versions:
-
Monterey – version 12.7.1 (21G920)
-
Ventura – version 13.4
-
Sonoma – version 14 to 14.4.1 (23E224)
2.1.2 Supported MyID versions
The MyID Client for Mac requires the following:
-
MyID CMS 12.4.0 or later.
Note: If you are not using the most recent version of MyID CMS, you may need to change some configuration options:
-
If you are using a version of MyID CMS earlier than 12.11, you must set the UseLegacySsaPlatform configuration option to true to allow the MyID Client for Mac to impersonate the Self-Service App and be recognized by the server.
-
If you are using a version of MyID CMS earlier than 12.12, you must set the UseLegacyPassphraseCollection configuration option to true allow the MyID Client for Mac to use the old web-service endpoint; if you set this configuration option, support for authentication using external identity providers is disabled.
For information on setting configuration options, see section 7.1.6, Setting advanced options.
2.1.3 Supported devices
The MyID Client for Mac currently supports the following devices:
-
YubiKey 4 (PIV/smart card interface only)
-
YubiKey 5 (PIV/smart card interface only)
-
YubiKey FIPS (PIV/smart card interface only)
-
YubiKey v57 (YubiKey 5 with firmware version 5.7.x)
-
YubiKey v57 FIPS (YubiKey FIPS with firmware version 5.7.x)
See the Yubico smart cards section in the Smart Card Integration Guide for information on configuring your system to work with YubiKey devices.
-
IDEMIA ID-One PIV 2.4.2
Note: IDEMIA ID-One PIV cards with Secure PIN Entry (SPE) are not supported.
See the IDEMIA smart cards section in the Smart Card Integration Guide for information on configuring your system to work with IDEMIA devices.
Important: Your MyID server must support the device type; for example, YubiKey v57 and v57 FIPS devices are supported on MyID 12.10 (with HOTFIX-12.10.0.1) and 12.11, but not on earlier versions of MyID.
2.1.4 Supported smart card readers
The MyID Client for Mac has been tested with IDEMIA smart cards and the following smart card readers:
-
Omnikey 3021
-
Omnikey 3121
Note: Only recently-made readers are compatible with macOS and IDEMIA cards; for example, readers with copyright 2021 and Rev C on the back. Older smart card readers (for example, those with a date of 2013 or earlier) are not expected to work.
