d. Check "Shared" checkbox next to "X509Certificates" (/System/Library/Keychains)
e. X509Certificates will now appear in the Keychains List and will be available for Intermediates for the whole trust path validation.
 
To export certificates from Internet Explorer - Click on Tools - Internet Options - Certificates.  Click the Import button.  Click Next.  Browse for the files one by one.  Click Next.  Select Automatically Select the Certificate Store.  Click Next.  Click Finish.  These certificates may be imported into the Mac.

Apple Discussion Board on SCR CAC reader for Leopard
 
 
"The FSCP (Apple Federal Smart Card Package) was ONLY for MAC Os X 10.2.3-10.2.8 and nothing else...  Since then, Apple has provided built-in support for the US Federal Smart Cards.  That document and the FSCP software should never, ever be used other than for MAC OS X 10.2.3-10.2.8 and hopefully none of you are using those versions."

 

Version 10.2, also known as Jaguar, is a few iterations ago.  Apple is now Leopard, OS X 10.5
