I spent the better half of yesterday reading the archives trying to
figure out how to use my Intel based Mac to access the Air Force
Material Command (AFMC) OWA web site. These are the things that I
have completed so far.
I acquired an SCM SCR331 and flashed the firmware to 5.22 (the latest
version).
After that it seemed like I didn't really need to do anything except
insert my card into the CAC reader and try to login.. but that didn't
work out.
I tried using the Pref Pane that hides the identity certificate so
that the authentication attempt should use the email certificate, but
that didn't work either.
I tried Firefox 2.0.0.1 and that didn't work.
Sometimes Safari will ask me for my PIN for the CAC and I enter it,
but then I get the HTML error page from the AFMC webmail site stating
that I didn't authenticate properly.
What I did notice is that the AFMC certificate has "CA 14" in it, and
the certs that are supplied in OS X only go up to CA 10? Is this a
problem? How can I get the CA 14 cert onto my OS X machine? I have
boot camp installed so If I need to go to XP to get it done I can do
that.
I also understand the basic concepts of the Keychain and the CAC card
but do I need to copy my certs from the CAC card to the keychain?
All I want to do is authenticate to the webmail site. I do NOT need
the CAC card for anything else on the machine.
Thanks for any help or pointers to information..
Respectfully
