- Thread-topic: [Fed-Talk] CAC's Firefox and OS X 10.5.4+
I use the CoolKey package from the CoolKey site:
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/BuildCoolKey#Pre_Built_Binary
The following Terminal commands can be used to install it; I assume
you've already used cd to change to the directory that the CoolKey
package was downloaded to:
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/include
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
$ unzip mac-coolkey-1.1.0.zip
$ cd usr/local/CoolKey
$ sudo cp -r lib/* /usr/local/lib/
$ sudo cp -r include/* /usr/local/include/
$ sudo cp -r bin/* /usr/local/bin/
Once that is done, the path to Coolkey to use in Firefox and Adobe
Reader is:
/usr/local/lib/pkcs11/libcoolkeypk11.dylib

David,
Thanks.
I have done all that but Firefox still does not see my CAC or its certs?
What do I need to do to make that happen?
I can't seem to get to your email message in the Archives. Can you
resend?
Thanks,
Walter
