Christopher,
The Citrix portal servers seem to do user agent sniffing; if they don't
detect IE, they don't even attempt to perform CAC authentication and direct
you to the username/password login page. I'm not sure why, since with this
workaround CAC login works just fine using both Safari and Firefox on a Mac
as well as Firefox on Linux.
So I'd say go ahead and try setting the user agent to IE and see what
happens.
