It's turning out to be a bigger effort to understand the problem and CAC
related issues. There has been some good information coming through this
list, but I haven't had time to assimilate it all, Shawn Geddis sent out a
great one the other day.
The short story is, I had both Safari and FireFox working fine, until I
received a new CAC card. The certificates on the card changed from CA-6 to
CA-12. If I have the card in the reader, FireFox doesn't launch, and Safari
worked fine after I added the CA-12 certificate to the X509Certs. I have
been unsuccessful on configuring any other Mac with CAC cards that have the
CA-12 certificates.
So far, my machine is the only Mac working with CAC, using Safari. I don't
know why, it's a puzzler.
I'm on a PowerPC G5 OSX 10.4.8, there are two identical machines, and a new
Mac Pro.
