[swift-users] Smart Card Auth on a Mac

Hello,

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I didn’t find the info I was looking for elsewhere.
The beta 3 release includes bug fixes for smart card auth. 

My company uses Mac almost exclusively and I was curious if card based login was possible on OS X?
From my very limited experience with Swift so far, it appears that only PKCS12 files can be used for certificate login.

If its not already possible, how much effort would be required to support login using credentials from the OS X keychain?

Thanks,
