SCR CAC reader for Leopard

Hi. I'm only able to make an identity preference for 1 of the 3 certificates. Each time I try to make an additional identity preference for another certificate, it overwrites the previous. Should I see 3 separate identify preferences, i.e. 1 for each of the 3 certificates?

I too wish apple would fix this. For now I just keep a bare bones vmware session open in another screen. Ctrl+ arrow gets me back and forth quickly. Keep the resources minimal on the vm and you won't notice any slow down of mac apps.

I did find that vmware is much more reliable in using the CAC than Parallels as Parallels often has trouble getting the focus of the reader back.

Got mines working with AKO for the portal and webmail. just follow the link

Worked great for AKO, thanks.
OS - 10.5.6
reader - SCR331

I have both my e-mail and AKO configured to work with my CAC reader. I have had the same glitch requiring a restart in order to ensure proper login (although removing the CAC before logging out of AKO and enabling Private Browsing seem to mitigate the issue). My next challenge is enabling system login and screen saver login on my MacBook utilizing my CAC instead of my normal password. Does anyone have a guide to setting this up? Thanks for the assistance.

Same here. Apparently there's a difference between x.mil/Exchange & x.mil/Exchange/. Server didn't like the extra slash. And now "they" will expect me to do home-station work while I'm on the road... Next project is getting on the AF Portal.

Using SCR3310 v2.0, no firmware flash, Gemalto CAC. Just took the OS 10.5.7 update earlier today. Did have to import the x509 file.

New to the Mac world (~2 weeks) and appreciate everyone's help getting squared away!

After a very long search and finding some directions from Jeff in previous blogs, I have successfully been able to get into my email (webmail.east.nmci.navy.mil) account. However, when I log off or turn off my computer, I am not able to get back in by just going to the website. I have to go back through all the steps Jeff outlined. Can anyone suggest any ways to make the changes stay so I don't have to keep going back through all the steps?

I need to access websites that requires my cac pin to login (Autodoc, Prisms, Cobra). How can I get the keychain to be able to access both my webmail and these websites?

Thanks for any suggestions..

I've been following this thread for two years now... hoping that this would get fully resolved. Obviously, the DoD has continued to stick Mac users with "those guys over there" status.

Anyway, I found this website today that might be of some assistance. I haven't had a chance to try it myself... it seems to address a slew of user base issues (NMCI, AKO, AF Portal, etc) and I'm surprised it took me this long to find it. I guess I've just gotten into the "Windows-sufferer" rut at work.

Here's the site: http://militarycac.com/

I look forward to reading some feedback. I plan on trying it tonight.

The easy way...

I've got mine to work with 10.5.6 as well as Snow Leopard. LMK if you still are out in the wind!

The software required costs $199! No way. I got everything to work using directions found here:

Wedge, I tried to use the CAC for MAC checklist on my 10.6 system but could not load the Smart Card services update 1.2. What did you do to get your 10.6 system to work.

Disregard my previous post. I bypassed the software install, plugged in my CAC card reader, opened keychain, assigned the web sites I wanted to my e-mail certificate, and it worked.

Go to militarycac.com and follow the instructions and it works. This is the easiest and quickest. I did it in less than 10 minutes
