Re: [Fed-Talk] CAC Reader Problems



The blinking seems to be normal, at least on my MacBook Pro with a flashed SCR331. The fastest way to see if the CAC reader is working is to open up "KeyChain Access.app" and look for and entry "Smart Card #1". If you see this, then try to "unlock" the keychain at which point a dialog should open up and ask for your PIN. If you get this far then the CAC reader is working.

If you are trying to access CAC enabled web mail then you will have to use Safari, get the DOD certificates and install the certs into the Keychain.

Note when accessing the webmail system with a CAC that the initial logon can take a few minutes. Just be patient.

Here is what I follow:
After you confirm that your CAC reader is working and can read the CAC card itself then launch Safari.
Under the "Safari" menu, select "Delete Cache"
Quit Safari
Unlock the Smart card keychain.
Launch Safari and go to your webmail site.
wait.....wait.....wait....
OWA should appear in Safari.
"log out" of OWA when finished. This seems to make the next connection faster.

Have been trying to get SCR331 USB CAC Card Reader to work with Intel Mac
10.4.8. I have flashed the reader to the latest firmware which is 5.22. I
can access the certificates but when I insert my CAC card the reader is
constantly blinking. Is anyone else having this problem?
