Support smartcard authentication for Box Sync and Box Drive.
Please put some more effort into federal customers inquiring about SSO sign in for Box Sync on Macs. The response I got was kind of a punt to our smart cards being the problem but fed agencies have an increasing mandate to login with smartcards. My specific issue may affect many other gov agencies that use Macs and Box Sync. Long story short – smart card certificate passthrough on Windows works as expected and certificates pass through Box Sync app login to the external SSO for USDA e-Authentication but the certificates don’t appear to make it to the external authenticator on the Mac version so in my humble opinion some changes are probably needed on how smartcard certificates pass to the SSO authenticator on the Mac app if the same function works in the Windows app.

this is similar to what we require. The Air Force SSO (via Air Force Portal) works in redirect to the Login, but the iOS and MacOS app do not have access to the Keychain/KeyStore to use the HW and Software Tokens (CAC and PureBred). This could be due to the type of WebView enabled in Swift/Obj-C...for instance on iOS a WebView versus SFSafariViewController makes a big difference in what the Box App could use from the native HW, and interact with SSO methods.
