Wow... I made my previous post after hours of pain struggling to fix the problem. Once I'd vented a little I found a solution that worked for me:


https://www.thursby.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=318


The key for me was not searching for the "Apple ID...." cert, but looking for the website I was trying to access itself. Deleting that entry allowed Safari to start looking to the CAC card for certs.


Just so this may potentially help other reservists out there, the specific website was AROWS. If, after authenticating with your proper cert, you get an error saying Safari cannot display the page, STOP! Go to Develop -> User Agent -> Internet Explorer XX (whatever version you want, I use 10). The page will reload automatically and you should be into the site.

I have this question on 10.12.5.


I think I found the cause. Every time when I launch Safari I was leaded to 'Favorite' page and get the popup. There are hundreds of bookmark page there. I guess the Safari may pre-read the bookmark each time I got into this page and some of my bookmarks require to sign. I am not sure which ones require it.


My solution is. Change the option 'New windows open with:' and 'New tabs open with:' in Safari preference to 'Empty Page'


I hope it helped.
