Access PIV certificate on DoD Common Access Card

Does anyone know how to gain access to the PIV certificate in MacOS Big Sur. I am now getting several DOD websites that request this certificate and it seems there is no way to access it. I can see it in system profiler but, it does not come up when prompted for certificates in Safari. Thank you for your help.

apply a .cer certificate Ventura 13.2.1 I need to apply a .cer certificate so that I can access a remote system. This is an easy task on a Windows PC, but this is the first time I have had to do it on my MBP (M2 chip). Looking on the web it looked like all I had to do was drag the .cer file into the Keychain Access app. I tried that, but it didn't work. I also tried using the Import option from the menu. That didn't work either. At the moment the file is in Downloads. Do I need to store it somewhere else? How can I do this? TIA

DOD CAC cross certificate error for mac while using chrome Hi! I have a new DOD CAC with a PIV certificate. My CAC and reader work fine, I can log into other DOD CAC websites. My issue is with chrome and logging into web outlook. When I log into web outlook, I select my ID certificate, and I'm prompted to enter my pin. But I get an "ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR." My PIV certificate is aligned with my work email. But web outlook seems to be treating my new certificate only as a digital signature cert and not as the auth certificate. Under "use" in the certificate, the description is "digital signature" and nothing else. I recently updated to Big Sur 11.1. I deleted and updated all of my DOD Root certificates, and I troubleshot with the NMCI help desk to no avail. The tech thought I might have a cross-certificate issue, but he didn't know how to fix it on a mac. Thank you!

macOS Catalina disabled CAC reader capabilities Hello, I updated to 10.15.14 last weekend and now cannot access sites requiring military CAC credentials. The smart card reader is working since the green light turns on when I plug in my CAC but I get "No DoD certificate was presented" when accessing a military site. Any troubleshooting steps? Thank you!
