- Thread-topic: [Fed-Talk] CAC's Firefox and OS X 10.5.4+
Neill,
I tried this on 10.5.6 and Firefox recognized the new module but it (Firefox) became unstable after that. Firefoz started to lock up and require a Force Quit to allow its use. I ended up removing the module from the Firefox interface as a result.
I hope that there is something else missing that was not part of the instructions...

Maybe this will finally fix my CAC / Firefox issues! To be honest, it has become a gamble every morning when I show up to work on whether or not I am going to be able to use it, or if Firefox will even start at all.

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
