This guide is for system and network administrators who need to support the Post SuisseID digital identification on Mac OS X. It describes the components contained in the Post SuisseID Software package and details the changes made during the installation.
This guide is based on the Post SuisseID Software 3.4 for Mac, which can be downloaded from http://postsuisseid.ch/setup. The installer contains a number of packages bundled as a Mach-O executable built with IceBerg and delivered in DMG format. The software contains the following components:
| Component | Use |

| Post SuisseID Assistant | Utility to initialize, change PIN/password and extend the expiry date of the Post SuisseID. |
| Uninstaller | An executable that performs the removal of the Post SuisseID software and settings. |
The installation routine requires administrative access to make the necessary changes to the system. Use the Console application to view the installation log in case of issues during installation (/var/log/install.log).
The uninstall displays any messages after removing the Post SuisseID software in TextEdit. NOTE: the uninstall program is not installed. You can keep the DMG file or copy the uninstall program to a folder such as /Applications.
