Shawn,
Is there an explanation (and how to) of how to make coolkey & CACs work and
what it will work with?
Be informed that we (Navy) just got a tasking order (mandate) that PKI (read
CAC) has to be working next month (email, web access, system access,
etc...), and fully deployed by the end of the year.
Thanks,
Walter
