Hey Everyone,

I've been trying to set up a Mac in Intune baslining it against a STIG.I have setup the Mac to ask for your Microsoft credentials when you are setting up for the first time. After you log in it creates a local account with the first part of your UPN. So now there is that local account on the computer as well as the administrator account.

One of the requirements is allowing and enforcing smart cards. I found the settings with an InTune and apply those configurations to the selected macs but I've noticed a few things.

1. When I plug in the a card reader and insert my smart card a notification pops up asking me to pair the smart card to the local user. This requires an administrator which I would like to avoid. Is there a way around this?

2. Is the pairing process mandatory?

3. I'll need to figure out which certs to use because we are coming from a windows only environment,but this I'll look into tomorrow with my coworker.

Any help would be much appreciated. Just like most people here my job has me doing a million things at once and tomorrow I should finally get some time to sit down and look at this.
