Smart card support

Entourage 2008 supports the use of digital certificate that have been stored on smart card-based keychains to perform secure messaging operations such as digitally signing, verifying, encrypting, and decrypting e-mail messages.

Smart card features in Entourage 2008

Entourage 2008 includes the following features:

•Mac OS X has built-in smart card support that complies with the U.S. Department of Defense standards for U.S. federal government smart cards. These standards follow one of the approved specifications: Common Access Card (CAC), Government Smart Card Interoperability Specification (GSCIS), Personal ID Verification (PIV).

•Entourage users can now apply send or save a digitally signed e-mail message in their Drafts folder.

•When there are more than one certificate associated with an e-mail account, Entourage uses the certificate that is not expired. If all the certificates associated with an e-mail message are expired, Entourage displays an error message.

•Entourage uses visual cues to distinguish between expired and current certificates.

•Entourage uses symbols to identify the certificates used for digital signatures.

For information about Apple’s support for smart cards, see Smart Card Services on the Apple Developer Web site (developer.apple.com).

Using Entourage 2008 with ISA Server and ADAM

Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA Server) is compatible with most of the authentication methods that can be used with Entourage 2008. However, you cannot use forms-based authentication when Entourage 2008 is used with ISA Server 2004. For information about how to use forms-based authentication in an ISA Server environment, see You cannot access your mailbox on an Exchange Server 2003 front-end server by using Entourage 2004 for Mac (KB909268) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (support.microsoft.com).

For more information about ISA Server, see the Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server on the the Microsoft Web site (www.microsoft.com/isaserver).

If you provide secured external access to the Global Address List (GAL), you might prefer not to open ports for LDAP searches through ISA Server. Instead, you can host a copy of the GAL on an Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) server that is exposed to the Internet for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) access. For more information about ADAM, see Introduction to Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Application Mode on the Microsoft Web site (www.microsoft.com).
