I am in the military and use my CAC to log into military sites and digitally sign documents. I read somewhere that all the architecture for a CAC reader is already embedded on a Mac but I can't seem to make it work.

I'm interested in picking one up for my personal laptop but I don't know which one to get. Are there any brands in particular that are worth the investment? I've seen some completely malfunction after a few uses and others not work at all. Thanks in advance.

Many comments are inaccurate. It is not the responsibility of supply (me) to provide ANYONE, regardless of rank, with items for personal usage. PFC Mullins stated as much in his initial posting that it's for his personal laptop. It is incumbent on each individual to purchase personal items themselves. I agree with coming onto a site like this for information on making a purchase but we should not be suggesting an illegal activity, even though it may have been an inadvertent suggestion.

Like MAJ Weiss suggested, the SCMs are great CAC Readers. If you would like a very nice portable one, check out the one below. It folds up nice and neatly into about the size of a thumb drive. I have one and carry it with me. These cost $17.99 but well worth it.

SSG Burns are you referring to the pens made by the blind? If so, you can keep them. You'll not hear me looking for them.

SSG(Join to see)There are some really good points on both sides (albeit some are rude). I believe this is an issue in the eye of the beholder.
I am a Supply Sergeant as well first off. I would not/will not provide cac readers to soldiers for home use strictly because of availability in my unit. I have to file a CAPR which is a huge waste of time and money to get with GPC. And they are $70 with an NSN. So I keep to Minimum.
But on the same issue, I provide (some) paper to squad leaders for home use. I know that some may get used to print a private invoice but that happens in offices too. I write a large portion of my ncoers, counselings, and other leaders book fillers at home. So do my squad leaders. Not going to buy their ink but the paper is for the good of the corps. It is proper oversight and vigilance that prevents abuse.
I am not afraid of being called a stingy supply sergeant, but there are way too many out there that are plain dictators over supply and refuse all most all request.

Well stated, battle! I too dislike the bad labels placed on supply. It's ridiculous and unprofessional for any one of us to act in such manner. We are not only accountants (that's what we do with the CDR's property) but also stewards of the taxpayers money. I have no problem issuing out supplies as requested but I will always ask for what purpose, and make a decision based on the answer. If there are further questions, then I will seek the guidance of the BN or CO CDR, or the respective XOs.

CSMMike MaynardSSG Redondo - if the only thing that a CAC Reader allows me to do is to access government websites - OWA, AKO, MilSuite, HRC, etc, how would that be classified as 'personal' use.
I'm not aware of any 'personal' uses for the CAC readers - only work/job related and professional development related?

Your site is a lifesaver! I have been referring my Soldiers and peers there for a few years now. My only request is that you somehow procure a zip file of Lotusforms 3.5 since it's nearly impossible to get now, and version 4.0 is nearly impossible to get working. I just hope the Army switches to PDFs with a quickness.

Cac Card Reader For Mac

CW3Michael Danberry
Thanks for your reply SFC Watkins, glad to know you've been referring people my way. Are you having problems with the current download of Lotus Forms? I do recommend people use the AKO download link instead of the one for CHESS for both Lotus Forms and eSign. I haven't heard anything more on digitally signing PDFs either. I wonder if it will have something to do with the new OERs due to come out in April? We have a class the last week of this month on them. I'll to remember to bring that up. Thanks again for responding

Use Cac Reader On Mac

I've never seen a unit supply issue CAC readers for personal use. If it's for your job 'at work use' then maybe, if they are available. It sounds like you few are taking home government property. I would suggest spending the few bucks you have to on the iogear reader.

Actually, my battery issued them out to all of us. We signed hand receipts and everything.

Well, now that just makes..SENSE! Too easy. If we are required to have a CAC reader to do business- at home or the office, a CAC reader should be issued.

  1. Ensure your CAC reader works with Mac
  2. Check to ensure your Mac accepts the reader
  3. Check your Mac OS version
  4. Check your CAC’s version
  5. Update your DOD certificates
  6. Guidance for Firefox Users
  7. Look at graphs to see which CAC enabler to use

Cac Reader For Mac El Capitan

Step 1: Purchase a Mac Friendly CAC Reader

Purchase a CAC reader that works for your Mac. There are only a couple that you can choose from and I’ve listed them below.

Usb Sim Card Reader Mac Osx. Download32 is source for usb sim card reader mac osx shareware, freeware download - Mobile SIM Card Reader Tool, USB Sim Card Reader, Recover Sim Card Data, SIM Card Data Restoration Software, Recover Deleted Message, etc. Usb sim card reader for mac. Geekgo SD & Micro SD Card Reader for Apple iPhone iPad/Android Phone/MacBook / Computer, Memory Card Adapter with Lightning, USB C, Micro USB, USB. Usb sim card reader free download - SIM Express, Apple USB Adapter Card Support, SIM Express (OS X), and many more programs.

If you already have a CAC reader and it isn’t Mac friendly, you could update the firmware, however, for the non-tech savvy people out there, it’s probably better to just purchase a new one and save the headache – they’re only ~$11-13 dollars.

Step 2: Plug in and Ensure It’s Accepted

Once you have your CAC reader, plug it into your Mac and ensure your computer recognizes it. If you have one of the CAC readers we suggested above, then you should be good to go.

If you are testing a different version, then verify that your Mac accepts your CAC reader by following these steps.

If for some reason your CAC reader isn’t working, then try the following steps.

Step 3: Update Your DOD Certificates

Now that you have your CAC reader connected and accepted on your Mac computer, it’s time to ensure you have the right certificates in order to access DOD CAC required web pages.

If you are using Chrome or Safari, then follow step 3a below. If you are using Firefox, you’ll need to do some extra steps:

Cac Reader

  1. Type ⇧⌘U (Shift + Command + U) to access your Utilities
  2. Find and Double click “Keychain Access”
  3. Select “Login” and “All Items”
  4. Download the following four files and double click each once downloaded so as to install in your Keychain Access.
  5. When you double-click the Mac Root Cert 3 and 4, you’ll need to tell your browser to always trust them. Click the button like you see below:

Additional Steps for Firefox

  1. Download All Certs zip and double click to unzip all 39 files
  2. While in Firefox, click “Firefox” on the top left, then “Preferences”
  3. Then Click “Advanced” > “Certificates” > “View Certificates”
  4. Then Click “Authorities” and then “Import”
  5. Import each file individually from the “AllCerts” folder. When you do this, the below box will popup. Check all three boxes and click “OK”

Step 4: Download and install CAC Enabler

  1. Download zip
  2. Double click the .zip file
  3. Because this is from an unidentified developer, you’ll need to hold down “Control” and click the program. Now select open and continue with install procedure.
  4. After installing, restart your computer

CAC Access at Home Success

Now that you have a CAC reader, certificates, and a CAC Enabler, you should now be able to access any CAC-enabled website and log on using your CAC password and data.

Common Reasons Why Your CAC Card Won’t Work On Your Mac

Ensure Your CAC Card Meets the Standards: In order for your CAC card to work, it must meet the minimal requirements. Currently, there are only four types of CAC cards that can be used. The ensure you have the right CAC card for online access, flip your CAC card to the back and if you have one of the below numbers written on the top left, then you are good to go:

  • G&D FIPS 201 SCE 3.2
  • Oberthur ID one 128 v5.5 Dual
  • GEMALTO DLGX4-A 144
  • GEMALTO TOP DL GX4 144

If you do not have any of the above written on the back, then proceed to your nearest PSD to get a new CAC card issued.
