6 'high level' steps needed, follow down the page to make this a painless systematic process
Step 1: Your CAC reader must be Mac friendly
Visit the USB Readers page to verify the CAC reader you have is Mac friendly
- Uninstall CAC enabling programs: ActivClient for Mac, CSSi, Centrify Express, PKard, CACKey, and / or OpenSC. Use DTS on your Mac. Watch Mac Videos (Including setting up CACKey with Firefox) Update the firmware on an SCR331 using TENS.
- What is the best CAC reader to buy? SPC (Join to see) 20.4K. 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. Has anyone been able to set up a CAC card reader on a MAC laptop?
- In this video, I walk you through enabling CAC on your Mac via CACKey and MilitaryCAC.com.
- CAC Reader driver Step 3: DoD Certificates Step 4. MilitaryCAC's Mac OS X Installation Steps Page. An Air Force person emailed this fix to me: He would load his OWA, and the window would only stay open for about seconds before OWA tried to open a calendar popup reminder. This popup would crash his Safari window, leading him to a frustrating.
I recently bought a CAC reader so I could log into AKO and I have no idea how to use it. I use a MacBook pro so I'm not sure if I need software or what but i'm doing something wrong. The IOGEAR GSR202 is a TAA compliant USB Common Access Card Reader for military, government and even private sector workers who need everyday access to secure systems. Common Access Card (CAC) or Smart Card readers are used as a communications medium between the Smart Card and a host (e.g.
'Some, not all' CAC readers may need to have a small program installed to make it work.

NOTE: Readers such as: SCR-331, GSR-202, GSR-202V, & GSR-203 could need firmware updates (NO OTHER Readers need firmware updates).
Information about these readers are in Step 2
Step 2: The Mac must be able to 'see' the reader
Plug the CAC reader into an available USB port before proceeding, give it a few moments to install
Step 2a: Click the Apple Icon in the upper left corner of the desktop, select 'About This Mac'
Step 2b: Click the 'More Info' (button)
Step 2c: Click 'System Report..' (button) (Only available in 10.7.x and above; 10.6.x and earlier will not see this window) Kindle reader 10 inch.
Step 2d: Make sure the CAC reader shows in Hardware, USB, under USB Device Tree (See image below). Different readers will show differently, most readers have no problem in this step. See Step 2d1 for specific reader issues.
Step 2d1: Verify firmware version on your SCR-331 or GSR-202, 202V, or 203 CAC reader. If you have a reader other than these 4, GO TO STEP 3
Step 2d1a-SCR-331 reader
If your reader does not look this this, go to the next step.
Below 'Hardware' click 'USB.' On the right side of the screen under 'USB Device Tree' the window will display all hardware plugged into the USB ports on your Mac. Look for “SCRx31 USB Smart Card Reader.” If the Smart Card reader is present, look at 'Version' in the lower right corner of this box: If you have a number below 5.18, you need to update your firmware to 5.25. If you are already at 5.18 or 5.25, your reader is installed on your system, and no further hardware changes are required. You can now Quit System Profiler and continue to Step 3.
Step 2d1b-IOGear GSR-202, 202V, and 203 readers
If your reader does not look like these, go toStep 3.
Below 'Hardware' click 'USB.' On the right side of the screen under 'USB Device Tree' the window will display all hardware plugged into the USB ports on your Mac. You should see “EMV Smartcard Reader.” If the Smart Card Reader is present look for 'Product ID' in the lower right corner of this box: If you see: 0x9540, you need to downgrade the firmware to 0x9520. If you see 0x9520, your reader is installed on your system, and no further hardware changes are required. You can now Quit System Profiler and continue to Step 3.
Step 3: Verify which version of OS X is installed on your computer
(You need to know this information for step 6)
Step 3a: Click the Apple Icon in the upper left corner of your desktop and select 'About This Mac'
Step 3b: Look below Mac OS X for: Version 10.X.X.
Step 4: Verify which exact CAC (ID Card) you have
(You need to know this information for step 6)
Look at the back of your ID card (above the black strip) for these card types. If you have any other version than the four shown below, you need to visit an ID card office and have it replaced. All CACs [other than these four] were supposed to be replaced prior to 1 October 2012.

Step 5: Decide which CAC enabler you can / want to use
Cac Reader For Mac El Capitan
After installing the CAC enabler, restart the computer and go to a CAC enabled website
Optional Step 6: Update your DoD certificates:
Step 6a. Load the DoD Intermediate certificates into your keychain
then..
Step 6b. If your CAC has a CA between 27 and 32 [and they didn't show up after 5a above] you'll need toinstall all of the CA 27 to 32 and CA Email 27 to 32 certificates manually. You can download the AllCerts.zip (http://militarycac.com/files/maccerts/AllCerts.zip) file, then double click each certificate individually to have them install into the login section of keychain. If you want to verify they are there, follow guidance on the Keychain page. Idea # 2 only.
