Macs however…  well, lets just say it took a while to realise that the certificate common name should be the UPN, not the username and not the email address.  Now it works just fine :)   Needless to say, this was a problem with the certificate server’s templates, not with the mac itself.

Get up to leave your desk and smack your powerbook to turn on the screensaver. That just feels right.

Diff to smack.pl here. Note that this includes the PowerBook and iBook fix… you’ll need to “unfix” it for MacBook Pro.
