#How to set up cac card reader mac mac#
Even if you can't help with my problem, if you are able to access DoD sites with a Mac and OsX 10.5.6 or 10.5.7, it would help if you could tell me what card reader, etc you are using. Another site will not let me in at all failing with and an indication that I am not authorized to access the site (which I can access readily from XP).Ĭan anyone help? I'm at my wits end now. One site lets me in when I set a certificate preference but kicks me out again with the 'cert required' error page as soon as I try to access a menu item on the site. I've been careful to restart Safari after each change.ĭespite all this, I am still unable to access the desired DoD websites from my Mac. I've tried various versions of the URLs including variations I've read on discussions threads. I've tried creating certificate preferences in keychain for the URLs both with and without the trailing '/'. I've read everything I can find out there at least once.

I can use my card to access the same sites from XP with no problems. Still, I am unable to access DoD websites from my Mac. My Card is being read and my cert shows up in Keychain. I'm currently running 10.5.7 (but had the same problems with 10.5.6) w/ Safari 3.2.3, an Oberthur Card V5.2a, and Omnikey 3021 card reader. Have the problems with OS X 10.5.6 and DoD CAC access been resolved yet? You should now be able to start Safari and access DoD sites requiring your CAC. (this is the site that is used to verify the certificate on your CAC card and normally opens up when you try to access the site after clicking the CAC log-on option examples are O Enter the location (URL) that will need the certificate for access and repeat this step for any website you need your CAC to access. O Select New Identity Preference (or New Certificate Preference) O Right click on your access certificate (not your e-mail signing or encryption cert) O Click the padlock icon at the top left of the screen To get Safari to use your ID to access CAC Enabled DoD sites you must create preferences for your ID Card: O If your CAC reader/ID Card does not appear your reader is not currently supported natively by Leopard OS X (check the OEM's website for updated Firmware - though firmware updates must be done from windows). It should resemble something like "CAC-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" Locate and select the CAC keychain associated with your card in left column of the Keychain window. With your ID Card in the reader, open Keychain (Applications>Utilities>Keychain Access). Ensure that Safari is fully closed before proceeding. Connect the CAC reader USB cable to the USB port of your Mac without your ID card in the reader (the author personally recommends the SCR331). O Ensure the box is checked to share X509Anchors. O Macintosh HD/System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors To install X509 Anchors in Keychain Access: If “X509Anchors” is not listed in your Keychains they should be installed / viewable. Once Keychain is open, look on the left hand side of the menu and look at the items in the Keychain list. Open Keychain (Applications>Utilities>Keychain Access) to verify X509 Anchors are not already unlocked/viewable. To unlock the X509 Anchors follow the steps listed below:

X509 Anchors should be unlocked for this process to work but it is not necessarily required. Set up your DoD Combined Access Card (CAC) Everything was working great until my reader became unrecognized with the upgrade, though another one that wasn't working before is now so the set-up should still be fine (as of last night it was working). Here's the directions we had to get CAC working on Leopard at my station.

If anyone has solved this issue please post the steps to fix the matter any help is appreciated. I hate to revert to 10.5.5 and ignore all future OS X updated but MUST be able to use my CAC at home.

) specifically states that SCM 3310 is suported.Īpple support is requested on this item as it has impacted nearly a dozen DoD Mac users at my station (which makes it hard to sing the praises of Mac when every update seems to cripple usability). My reader's firmware is the newest version from SCM and per msg00093 (and the attached link to Open Source author's CCID supported CAC Readers. My SCM 3310 worked perfectly on 10.5.5 but the recent update to 10.5.6 now makes me SCM 3310 CAC Reader totally unrecognizable (brief green light when I plug-in but then dead - does not even show up in keychain anymore).
