Just got a CAC card for accessing some DoD sites as an Air Force
contractor.
I had to get a new Smart card reader (OmniKey) when the one I had was
having problems with Leopard. Thanks to some of the posts to Fed-Talk
for helping me.
So now I can see the certs and keys on the card with Keychain access.
But I am told for each cert that "This certificate was signed by an
unknown authority".
I suspect that I need to install some DoD root certs to allow the
trust chain to be verified.
I do not know where to go to get these. I did some searching and did
not discover a site where they might be obtained or how to obtain them.
I did some references to a Firefox plugin but I am somewhat unclear if
that is the proper way to go or not.
I would like to read my webmail for my .mil address and use the CAC to
access web sites like I can when running on a PC. I use both Safari
and Firefox.
Any suggestions or pointers appreciated
Jim
