3. Ensure only the top Install DoD NIPRNET Certificates box is checked.
4. Click the Install button and wait for the installation to complete. Please wait until you see a confirmation dialog indicating the tool is finished.

Using Common Access Card (CAC) certificates in Firefox

These instructions will enable ActivIdentity’s ActivClient software to work within Firefox. Before proceeding, try to ensure the latest version of ActivClient is installed by going to the ActivClient website to check the latest version. Before installing the latest version, please uninstall any previous versions of ActivClient.

As of version 6.2, ActivClient by default configures Firefox to accept the CAC certificates without any additional configuration. You may use the following instructions to verify that it has been installed properly. If using an older version of ActivClient, these instructions will assist with proper configuration.

1. Open Firefox
2. Click on Tools > Options in the menu bar.
3. In the Options window, go to Advanced > Encryption > Security Devices.
4. In the new window, click on Load.
5. Enter “ActivClient(CAC)” for the Module Name.

   Click Browse to the right of the Module Filename field. Browse to the location of the ActivClient PKCS11 library, acpkcs211.dll. This is typically located at C:Program Files (x86)ActivIdentityActivClientacpkcs211.dll in ActivClient 6.2, and C:Windowssystem32acpkcs201-ns.dll in ActivClient 6.1 and earlier.

   Click OK, and then OK again in the confirmation window.

6. The confirmation message will show that the security device (CAC) was loaded. CAC certificates can now be used with the browser. Click OK to close the window.

Ensure the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) is Performing Revocation Checking

With any versions of ActivClient later than 6.2, these settings will be automatically configured. However, these instructions can be used to confirm proper configuration for older versions of ActivClient.

1. Open Firefox
2. Click on Tools > Options in the menu bar.
3. In the Options window, go to Advanced > Encryption > Validation.
4. Ensure the option Use the OCSP to confirm the current validity of certificates is checked. Also ensure When an OCSP server connection fails, treat the certificate as invalid is checked.

Safari

To get started you will need:

• CAC (see note below)
• Card reader

You can get started using your CAC on your Mac OS X system by following these basic steps:

1. Get a card reader
   Typically Macs do not come with card readers and therefore an external card reader is necessary. At this time, the best advice for obtaining a card reader is through working with your home component. In addition, please review the DoD CAC Reader Specifications for more information regarding card reader requirements.
2. Download and install the OS X Smartcard Services package
   The OS X Smartcard Services Package allows a Mac to read and communicate with a smart card. In order for your machine to recognize your CAC certificates and DoD websites as trusted, the installer will load the DoD CA certificates on OS X. Please refer to this page for specific installation instructions.
3. Address the cross-certificate chaining Issue
   These instructions walk through adjusting the trust settings on the Interoperability Root CA (IRCA) > DoD Root CA 2 and the US DoD CCEB IRCA 1 > DoD Root CA 2 certificates to prevent cross-certificate chaining issues. This can make it appear that your certificates are issued by roots other than the DoD Root CA 2 and can prevent access to DoD websites.
4. Configure Chrome and Safari, if necessary
   Safari and Google Chrome rely on Keychain Access properly recognizing your CAC certificates.
   1. In Finder, navigate to Go > Utilities and launch KeychainAccess.app
   2. Verify that your CAC certificates are recognized and displayed in Keychain Access

Note: CACs are currently made of different kinds of card stock. To determine what card stock you have, look at the back of your CAC above the magnetic strip. Most CACs are supported by the Smartcard Services package, however Oberthur ID One 128 v5.5 CACs are not. Third party middleware is available that will support these CACS; two such options are Thursby Software’s PKard and Centrify’s Express for Smart Card.

Select the branch of the military you are affiliated with to find specific download locations and installation instructions.

TC2000 now works on Mac thanks to the free Parallels Client tool which connects to a TC2000 remotely so that you can use it as a Mac desktop application. This also works for iPad, iPhone and other mobile devices. Alternatively, you can also use TC2000 in any web browser on a Mac. Parallels will then download a free ISO image of Windows 10. The ISO image is a fully functional free “unactivated” version of Windows 10. The only benefit that activation offers is the ability to customize Windows 10 with wallpapers, themes, lock screens etc and it also removes a small watermark on the lower right hand corner of Windows so.

If you are not part of a particular branch of the military, look at these other options for you.

Alternate links that won't require you to be logged in with a CAC to download
