You should now be able to visit CAC Card enabled sites on FIREFOX browser only at this point. Now name your Module DODCAC or something like that and set the path to /usr/lib/pkcs11 and select coolkeypk11.so and then hit okay. Click the “Load” button in the pic below.

Once all the Certs are imported (I know you hated that part) now click on the box in the pic above that says “Security Devices”. I’m not sure you have to click both boxes for all of them but it is the safe play. Click both “Trust” boxes before you import for each one.

Now open Firefox and go to “Preferences > Privacy And Security” and Click “View Certificates” Click the “Import” button and individually import each of those Certs you downloaded at the beginning of this. It will tell you to add the two dependencies listed below it. Just for fun I put a check in pcsc tools as well. In the search field type “pcsc” Everything that installs with it should have a check mark in it or green if it is already installed. Now open it as super user once it is installed. The easiest way to do this and grab dependencies is with Synaptic. Now we need to install some programs called pcscd and coolkey. They also come from the page I have linked above (Militar圜AC.com). I seek to clarify those here.įirst lets download the Certs for your browser. While almost perfect there are a few minor issues that could foul a fella up. Also I’m using Ubuntu 18.04įirst of all the information is taken from this excellent website. I’m doing this with an IOGEAR GSR202 and it will work with a lot of other CAC Card readers as well. A must do project for the Linux geek in you.

It is possible to use your smart card to access DOD CAC Card enabled sites. So, you are a government employee AND a Linux geek.
