Has anyone had any success using Adobe Reader V8 to digitally sign a document using the certificate from a CAC on a Mac? This is what I find happening:
I have got an SCR331 reader working fine, I can digitally encrypt and sign using Mail, I can use Citrix and the CAC to access Citrix enabled sites. All seems to work.
Keychain shows the CAC when it is inserted and I can open it with the Pin, all works fine.
Adobe 8 has a Security Settings window under <Document><Security Setting...>. It wants me to "Add an ID" so it knows about certificates I may have.
If I click "Add ID" I get a window asking me to locate the certificate. I have four options: Browse for a file Configure a roaming ID Create a self-signed digital ID Look for newly inserted hardware tokens.
I would have thought this latter would access my CAC but instead I get a message telling me that "Acrobat could not find any new Digital IDs..."
So I though to use the first. On the Mac this is a .p12 file.
In KeyChain I go to my CAC keychain and select all the keys, then I go to <File><Export...> I am asked where to save the file and I respond, then KeyChain asks for an export password. In this box it requires a password and then a verify-password entry, so I am assuming it is password protecting the file it is exporting. Either way, I have tried all sorts of passwords! I have entered new, complex, DoD compliant, passwords. I have tried the pin and other passwords on the machine.
The result is the same each time. KeyChain crashes and brings down just about every application running. The screen is covered in Application Failed boxes. It's quite a site I can tell you!
Any suggestions? I cannot find any where else to go.
