I am in the military and use my CAC to log into military sites and digitally sign documents. I read somewhere that all the architecture for a CAC reader is already embedded on a Mac but I can't seem to make it work. I love my Mac and would really like to be able to do EVERYTHING on it instead of having to revert to Windows for certain things. I have seen Macs being used in the workplace in the Army while using a CAC reader and card, but no one has been able to tell me how it was done. If anyone has any advice or can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

I have a Mac and use my cac card reader when need be. Militarycac as someone mentioned earlier can tell you what you need to do to make it work. Also chrome is one of the only browsers that works for me. This subreddit is geared toward the United States Army, but all are welcome to join regardless of military service. Weekly Question Thread (N00b thread) For all of your joining and reclassing needs.
