You can add the US Marine Corps to that list. We, too, are upgrading to ARS 7.1 ITSM 7.0 and have to use CAC login. We have our BMC professional services "team" working on a solution. I'll have them take a look at the USAF's solution and see if it can work for us.

When the "Single Sign-On (SSO) and Other Client-Side Login Intercept Technologies" interface was created, it was BMC's expectation that customers or partners would take this interface and create point-to-point integrations with solutions in the marketplace. At this time, there are no short term plans for BMC to productize such integrations. If this remains a "gap" in the marketplace, that decision may be revisited - but I would encourage the development community to share work done in this area among other community members or for an enterprising partner or solution provider to create a marketable solution for such point-to-point integrations to popular SSO environments. Also, There is a Department of Defense Instruction NUMBER 8520.2 (http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/html/852002.htm). This Instruction applies to: "2.4. All DoD unclassified and classified information systems including networks (e.g., Non-secure Internet Protocol Router Network , Secret Internet Protocol Router Network, web servers, and e-mail systems. E3.4.1.3. Other Information Systems. For information systems requiring authentication other than network login or web servers, the system owner shall perform a business case analysis to determine if PK-Enabling is warranted. The business case analysis shall be submitted to the DoD Component CIO for review and approval. If warranted, the information system shall be PK-Enabled." This has influenced several U.S. military bases to pursue integrating the CAC with their Remedy systems. Because this request affects multiple branches of the U.S. Armed Services, one would expect that work done at one base could be shared with other bases - although I certainly understand that there may be bureaucratic or other barriers to such sharing. However, if there are any shared DoD resources, you may wish to reach out internally to other bases that have Remedy based solutions. My understanding is that the military has, for the most part, chosen a single vendor for CAC - so work done once should be applicable in most other environments. Of the branches that I'm aware of, I believe the Air Force is currently the farthest along with the Army also making requests for the CAC integration. In addition, if this cannot be solved at a community or partner level, I believe there is some work being done by BMC Professional Services to assist in the use of CAC and SSO with the predominant SSO vendor solution chosen by the Air Force. Customers may wish to individually contact BMC Professional Services for assistance in creating such integrations. Hope this helps... -David J.

Planning to upgrade to ARS 7.1 & SQL 2005. ITSM v7 down the road but not right now. >From the documentation, Remedy User Tool 7.x includes a hook that allows one >to specify a DLL that will be called instead of the login page at startup. This DLL can do whatever work you want-interact with other systems, open windows, perform calculations, and so on. However, we do not have a solution in place yet. I was hoping to see if anyone has implemented CAC card with Remedy User Tool. Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
