USE YOUR CAC ON A CHROME Operating System computer
|
|||||||
Utilizing your CAC with Chrome OS "may" work if you follow these instructions You should be able to access most CAC enabled websites. However, I am unable to find Adobe Reader to be able to digitally sign PDF forms NOTE: This was last tested / validated on 03 April 2022 with Chrome OS version 100.0.4896.64 using an SCR-3310 v2.0 CAC reader with the GEMALTO DLGX4 128Kv2 CAC utilizing the CSSI Smart Card Connector (available below) Step 1: Download these 4 DoD certificate files to your computer RootCert4.p7b and
Step 2: To install the certificates in Chrome, select the 3 dots (top right of web browser), select Settings
. . Step 3: Select Security and Privacy (on left side of screen), then select Security
Step 4: Scroll down and click on Manage certificates under Advanced
. Step 5: Click the Authorities (tab)
.
Step 6: Click IMPORT
Step 7: Navigate to the folder you downloaded the above files to, then change the drop down to: All files (found in lower left corner of page)
Step 8: Select RootCert5.p7b, then click OPEN NOTE: Install the files in this order: RootCert5.p7b, RootCert4.p7b, RootCert3.p7b, and finally AllCerts.p7b by selecting each and clicking OPEN NOTE: RootCert2.p7b is no longer used
Step 9: Check all three boxes under Trust settings, click OK
Step 10: Install the other files you downloaded by going back to IMPORT
Step 11: Repeat steps 7, 8, & 9 for each of the downloads Reminder to OPEN in this order: RootCert4.p7b, RootCert3.p7b, and finally AllCerts.p7b by selecting each and clicking OPEN NOTE: RootCert2.p7b is no longer used
Step 12: To verify all certificates installed... Stay in the AUTHORITIES (tab), scroll down to org-U.S. Government, the certificates listed below should be there: DOD DERILITY CA-1 DOD EMAIL CA-49 through DOD EMAIL CA-52, DOD EMAIL CA-59, DOD EMAIL CA-62 through DOD EMAIL CA-65 DOD ID CA-49 through DOD ID CA-52, DOD ID CA-59, DOD ID CA-62 through DOD ID CA-65 DoD Root CA 3 through DoD Root CA 5, DOD SW CA-53 through DOD SW CA-58, DOD SW CA-60 through DOD SW CA-61, and DOD SW CA-66 through DOD SW 69
Step 13: All of the DoD certificates are now installed, the next step is to install CSSI Smart Card Middleware. CSSI requires two separate apps be installed. NOTE: CSSI Smart Card Middleware has worked more consistently (in my tests)
Download CSSI Smart Card Middleware from the Google webstore: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cssi-smart-card-middlewar/haeblkpifdemlfnkogkipmghfcbonief?hl=en
Download Smart Card Connector from the Google webstore:
Select + ADD TO CHROME on each app
Click the Add app (button)
When going to CAC enabled sites, it is a little slow I used an SCR-3310 v2.0 CAC reader You may have to Allow the app
If you'd like to let me know of your success, fill out this form.
Alternate Step 13: NOTE: CACKey is another program you can use. DO NOT install both CSSI and CACKey. NOTE: I have found CSSI to work more consistently than CACKey. CACKey is available by going to this webstore link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cackey/lpimdiknnpijeigckalekdccibdmeojg Select the + ADD TO CHROME (button)
Click the Add app (button)
When you want to use it, select LAUNCH APP
NOTE: If you are unable to access your DoD websites... I have been informed by some personnel that they had to use Incognito mode to access some DoD websites. If you want to try this: Option 1: Click <shift> <ctrl> <n> Option 2: "Double finger tap" on the Chrome browser icon in the taskbar
NOTICE: Many Navy, Marine, and Air Force Mac users are having issues accessing their email via OWA and a few other CAC specific websites once getting a new CAC (or when migrated to O365). I have not found a fix for Chrome OS users.
PLEASE COMPLETE THIS FORM FOR Chrome SUPPORT ONLY AFTER following the steps above. Many people are going straight to this form and not following instructions above Windows Users go here Mac Users go here Linux Users go here
