Cac Reader For A Mac
Cac Certificates For Mac
Certificates For Cac Reader Chrome Os

I am having trouble installing drivers for a Smartcard and Reader drivers on my late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro with 16 GB RAM and 1 TB Flash Drive. Are there any firewall or other settings I must set or reset to accomplish this?

I have tried turning off the Firewall and security setting to allow installation of software from any source. I have not succeeded yet.

Then I plugged it into my mac, put my CAC card in and was on DoD website once I added the certificates. It is working good, though I wish Safari was better! Note: I am using OSX 10.5.2 and a USB ActivCard reader.
When connected to your computer, the CAC Reader will have a Red or Amber LED illuminated indicating a proper connection. If the LED comes on the Drivers installed and the CAC reader is working. If the LED comes on the Drivers installed and the CAC reader is working.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Cac Reader For A Mac

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), 16 GB RAM, 1 TB Flash Drive

The card reader should come with installation instructions, support information, and necessary drivers. Q: Now that the Air Force Portal is PKI/CAC restricted, where can I get a copy of the CAC.

Updating a CAC Driver

Plug in your CAC reader NOW

NOTE: Please check and make sure your CAC reader installed BEFORE you attempt to follow the driver installation instructions below. Most of the time, the New hardware wizard will install the CAC reader automatically, negating the need for you to install the driver manually.

To Verify whether your driver did or did not install, follow these instructions:

Plug your CAC reader into your computer before proceeding

Vista, 7, & 8: Right click Computer, select Properties, Device Manager link (upper left corner of the screen), scroll down to Smart card readers, select the little triangle next to it to open it up. If your smart card reader is listed, go to the next step of installing the DoD certificates. NOTE: If you can't don't see it, click Start, In the Start Search line type in: devmgmt.msc. (For Windows 8.1 users, you'll right click Start.

XP: Right click My Computer, select Properties, Hardware tab, Device Manager button, scroll down to Smart card readers, select the + next to it to open it up. If your smart card reader is already listed, you can go to the next step of installing the DoD certificates.

If it did not install correctly.. Try this first: Go to Device Manager (Instructions are above), scroll down to Smart Card readers, right click the CAC reader that shows up below Smart Card Readers. It could also be under unknown devices. Select Uninstall. It will give you a message. Once it is uninstalled, unplug the reader from your computer. Wait a few moments, then plug it back in. It 'should start to install itself. If that doesn't work, keep reading for other ideas below.

IF you do not see Smart card readers when checking, THEN follow along with the steps below.

To install a driver onto your computer for a CAC reader, you need to first download the correct driver for the hardware you purchased, I have drivers for the most common USB Readers, Keyboard, laptop, & desktop card readers

PROCEED TO STEP 3 ONCE YOU'VE COMPLETED YOUR VERIFICATION OR INSTALLATION

Unzipping - the driver

Windows 7, Vista, or XP- Save the zip file to a location of your choosing. Once you have the zip file downloaded, open the zip file (Windows built in zipping program). Copy the folder inside to a new folder. It will unzip the contents, (This is the folder you will need when you are doing the steps below). You can also use the Extract All Files button (on the left under Folder Tasks, under File, Extract All). It will then ask where you want to save the file too. I recommend just putting a backslash ( ) at the end of the location already on the screen.

WinZip- Use the Extract button. It will ask you where you want to save the extracted files to, I recommend your desktop. Click the desktop icon on the left. Push the little yellow folder in the upper right corner of this active window. It will prompt you for a name for the folder (type in CAC Driver). Hit OK, then select Extract (lower right corner of this window). You should now see your new folder on your desktop to open up. Keep this for a later step.

Updating the Driver - Example is for an SCR-331

Windows 7, 8, & Vista - Right Click Computer, Select Properties

Click the Device Manager link (on the left side of your screen)

Select the triangle next to Smart Card Readers

Right click the SCRx31 USB Reader, select Update Driver software

Browse my computer.. Acrobat reader for i mac. Select Browse, then desktop (or wherever you made the folder)

NOTE: One person had to select 'Search automatically for updated driver software' (This is very rare)

Select the folder (if using the firmware update driver below, stop at the driver folder, do not 'dig' down to AND or Intel folders) and then OK. Next

Your driver will be installed.

Windows XP - Right Click on My Computer, Select Properties,
