USE YOUR CAC ON A CHROMEBOOK
|
|||||||
|
Utilizing your CAC with Chrome OS "may" work if you follow these instructions (it has worked on multiple computers running Chrome OS) You should be able to access most CAC enabled websites. However, I am unable to find Adobe Reader to be able to digitally sign forms NOTE: This was last tested / validated on 19 November 2020 with Chrome OS version 87.0.4280.109 using an SCR-3310 v2 CAC reader with both the G+D FIPS 201 SCE 3.2 & 7.0 CACs utilizing the CSSI Smart Card Connector (available below) If you'd like to let me know of your success, fill out this form. Download these 5 DoD certificate files to your computer RootCert4.p7b and To install the certificates in Chrome, select the 3 dots (top right of web browser), select Settings
. . Scroll down to Privacy and security, then select Security
Scroll down and click on Manage certificates under Advanced
. Click the AUTHORITIES (tab)
.
Click IMPORT
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)
Select RootCert5.p7b, then click OPEN NOTE: Install the files in this order: RootCert5.p7b, RootCert4.p7b, RootCert3.p7b, RootCert2.p7b, and finally AllCerts.p7b by selecting each and clicking OPEN
Check all three boxes under Trust settings, click OK
Install the other files you downloaded by going back to IMPORT
Navigate to the folder you downloaded the files to and change the drop down to: All files (found in lower left corner of page)
Select the next file, then OPEN Reminder to OPEN in this order: RootCert5.p7b, RootCert4.p7b, RootCert3.p7b, RootCert2.p7b, and finally AllCerts.p7b by selecting each and clicking OPEN
Check all three boxes under Trust settings, click OK
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 EMAIL CA-33 through DOD EMAIL CA-34, DOD EMAIL CA-39 through DOD EMAIL CA-44, DOD EMAIL CA-49 through DOD EMAIL CA-52, DOD EMAIL CA-59 DOD ID CA-33 through DOD ID CA-34, DOD ID CA-39 through DOD ID CA-44, DOD ID CA-49 through DOD ID CA-52, DOD ID CA-59 DOD ID SW CA-35 through DOD ID SW CA-38, DOD ID SW CA-45 through DOD ID SW CA-48, DoD Root CA 2 through DoD Root CA 5, DOD ID SW CA-53 through DOD ID SW CA-58, and DOD SW CA-60 through DOD SW CA-61
All of the DoD certificates are now installed, the next step is to install CSSI Smart Card Middleware or CACKey (NOT both). CSSI requires two separate apps be installed. NOTE: CSSI Smart Card Middleware has worked more consistently (in my tests) than CACKey Smart Card Connector & CSSI Smart Card Middleware Download from the Google webstore: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/smart%20card%20connector Select the Apps radio button on the left side of screen 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 CAC reader You may have to Allow the app
NOTE: CACKey is another program you can use. DO NOT install both CSSI and CACkey CACKey is also 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
