Configure military CAC digitial ID on Adobe

I have my CAC connected via USB through the USB-c adapter on my Macbook Pro, and when I try to digitally sign a document, Adobe wants me to configure a digital ID. Adobe is not recognizing the CAC with USB-c connection. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

MacBook Air asking for CAC pin even when I don't have the CAC reader connected/CAC inserted Subject line sums it up well. I sometimes use a CAC reader with CAC on my MacBook Air (M1, 2020) to access my secure work website (military). But sometimes, even when my CAC reader isn't connected, and when I open up my Mac to login, it asks for my PIN (associated with my CAC reader/CAC card), and won't let me log on unless I plug in my CAC reader, insert my CAC card, and put in the pin. This is a pain for obvious reasons. Anyone else encounter this problem? Any fixes? I have no problem with the Mac asking for my pin when my CAC reader and CAC are actively connected, but it makes no sense for it to require my pin when I'm not even using the CAC reader. Thanks!

Digitally sign PDF with CAC reader I recently upgraded to OS Catalina from Mojave. Using Mojave, I went through the painstaking process outlined on militarycac.com to have my Mac fully functional with my CAC reader, to include digitally signing PDFs using my Common Access Card. After upgrading to Catalina, I have been able to successfully use my CAC to access all sites and services, etc. EXCEPT digitally signing PDFs using my CAC enabled digital signature. This must have something to do with the new CAC abilities in Catalina. Since the other functions work great, is there a plan to update Catalina to include this feature, or conversely, is there a work around I can use? Thanks! Apple Sailor

Military CAC somehow link to local Mac Admin account I recently had to start using my military CAC from home on my MacPro Late 2013 model running BigSur 11.1. Everything with the CAC is working fine, accessing web based resources, etc. My problem is somehow my military CAC has become linked to the local admin account of my Mac. For example if I restart the machine at log in it asks for my Pin not my Password. Any time admin access is required, it asks for my Pin not the Password. How do I de-link my CAC from my local admin account. I've seen some Apple Support articles on running sudo scripts, but wanted to see if there was an easier way and ideally less likely to screw something up way to make this happen. Appreciate any assistance the community can provide.
