Setting up Safari for CAC login to DOD websites

Apple, DOD | 34 Comments »

 

Issue: Setting up CAC logon to DOD websites with OS X 10.5.x release.  

Solution: 

1) Quit Safari completely

 

 

 

 

 

2) Insert card and open Keychain Access.

3) Select the CAC keychain.

4) Select “My Certificates” from “Category” on the sidebar.

5) Right click on the certificate you need to authenticate with (usually the Identity or email signing cert) and select “New Identity Preference”.   You can use the triangle by the certificate to expand it and view its type.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6) Enter the URL for the site. (** make sure you add the “/” at the end of the URL)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTES :

The certificate, Identity or Email Signing, selected in step 5 above may be determined by the website.   If the first certificate selected does not work, please select the alternate and re-attempt to access the website.

The identity preference can be picky about the URL used. Here are a few examples below.  If a site is found that has an issue, please notify the AGM Help Desk agm.support@us.army.mil.  We will build a list of sites with known issues as they are reported.

Site  – AKO

Certificate – Identity

ID Pref URL - https://akocac.us.army.mil/

Site – JTF-GNO

Certificate – Email signing

ID Pref URL - https://www.jtfgno.mil
