Taglio PIVKey C980 Enterprise PKI Smart Card for Authentication, Identification, Contact/Contactless Smart Card, Supports Windows PIV Drivers.

Likes: card works great in Linux and Windows. Can easily login with card to Windows. Support was VERY responsive. Their web site and test web page was helpful, too. Cons: I wish it was cheaper. Like at least half. Also, being able to label the front easily would be fine but I guess that's what label makers are for. Or those expensive card printers. None of this is worthy of removing a star.

I ordered one and it was not functional, even for the test. However, after communicating back and forth with Taglio, their customer service was exceptional and replaced the card, and sent another one for me to test with. so far the cards work as intended, and the next step is on me for the certificate authority using Win server 2012 R2. They've offered to help with that, which is a rarity in many organizations. Thanks for the restitution.

I thought I'd give these a try... however they seem to be above my pay-grade to make a functional access card. I'ver tried the PIV tools and active identity, both to no avail. I'm sure the product is sound, if only I was qualified.

Works perfectly for Windows domain. Not particularly difficult to set up. Don't forget the domain controller cert, and the group policy to trust the new Windows CA.

This seems to work as intended. I did some testing with it, but I haven’t had an opportunity to play with my my own certificates yet. They have some help articles on their website for Apache that will be a good start when I do get that far.

Good key, worked well for card reader activated door, but was hoping for the pivkey text to be printed on the card, which it was not

The product is perfect. my Security team would not load the third party smart card. had to return

Works great for PKI applications. Purchased to allow development of two factor authentication to an application.
