To use your CAC with your computer, you’ll still need to download the appropriate drivers (in some cases) as well as the necessary DOD certificates.

Ensure your CAC is properly inserted in the reader. Access the secure websites listed on the Certificate Usage Worksheet. Select the DOD Class 3 CAC CA certificate if prompted and click OK. Ensure your CAC is inserted in the reader and double click on the message to be read. With the CAC installed, this function is transparent to.

Preface

US Department of Defense (DoD) now limits access to many of its websites to be via a smart Common Access Card (CAC) authenticated with a Personal Identification Number (PIN). The following is a guide to assist in setting up openSUSE to access CAC-enabled DoD websites.

SLES 12

SLES 12 specific instructions can be found here:

Install the Middleware

The Linux CAC Reader stack is based on a set of middleware called PCSC (Personal Computer Smart Card), written by the MUSCLE (Movement for the Use of Smart Cards in a Linux Environment) project.

Packages available through openSUSE

In order to use the DoD CAC you must install the the following packages:

• pcsc-lite - PCSC Smart Cards Library
• pcsc-ccid - generic USB CCID (Chip/Smart Card Interface Devices) driver
• perl-pcsc - Abstraction layer to smart card readers
• pcsc-tools - Optional but highly recommended, these tools are used to test a PCSC driver, card and reader
  • http://software.opensuse.org/package/pcsc-tools
    • Note: Be sure to select the package that corresponds with your distribution version.

Alternatively, install the packages Through Terminal:

PKCS #11 module

There are three working modules to access the PKCS #11 keys on your CAC. Each have their strengths and limitations. You will need to choose which version works best for you. In most situations, CoolKey is preferred.

OpenSC

OpenSC provides a set of utilities to access smart cards. It facilitates their use in security applications such as mail encryption, authentication, and digital signature. This module has a broader feature set than CoolKey or CACkey and you are able to access your PIV certificate for those individuals that are Dual Persona. This module is speedy like CoolKey and doesn't lag like CACkey. This may be the best option if you are dual persona and do not wish to use CACkey from DISA.

Alternatively, install OpenSC Through Terminal:

CoolKey

Coolkey is available through the openSUSE software repository. This is arguably the most stable method for accessing your CAC. The downside is, Dual Persona individuals that have the activated PIV certificate will not be able to access it rendering you not able to access the DoD Enterprise Email certificates. If you are not Dual Persona this is by far the best module to use as it is stable, accesses certificates quickly and does not cause the pcsc daemon to hang. Direct link to the software package:

Alternatively, install CoolKey Through Terminal:

CACkey

CACkey is available from DISA's on the Forge.mil Linux development site. This works but is very slow to access the CAC certificates. The system will hang long enough that the sites may time out. It does work and sometimes requires an untimely page refresh. A machine with working CAC authentication is required for the DISA download. Once obtained, the RPM will install without issue.

Forge.mil hosts the CACkey package, but it requires CAC authentication to download the packages. Easiest may be to download all on a CAC enabled machine and then transfer to the Linux machine. From forge.mil download:

• the latest version of CACkey
• the DoD Configuration extension for Firefox has been deprecated and has been replaced with these Instructions from DISA.

Recommend these be stored on AKO Cloud, Dropbox, portable media, or other location to ensure continued access.

This seems to be the most reliable option if you are a dual persona. The CACkey was recently updated which addressed performance issues.

CACkey Alternate download

This location is not CAC Protected and has the source available for download as well

Smart Card Reader Driver

Without installing any additional drivers the following card readers are tested and work without issue:

• You may have to install additional drivers for your hardware. Check your hardware and search using the key word pcsc.

Start Up the Daemon

This should happen automatically, but if it does not start up on your system, here is how you can activate/enable the SmartCard daemon:

Graphical Method

• From YaST:
  • Open YaST
  • System Services (Runlevel)
  • Select the Expert Mode Radio button
  • Search for pcscd, select from the drop down Start/Stop/Refresh select Start
  • Select 'OK' to close the window

Terminal Method

Testing your Smart Card Driver

Open a terminal (ie konsole, x-term or other) and type/enter. You might have to insert a smart card in order for the message to pop-up.

Similar to the following means the card reader is working properly:

Similar to this indicates a need to check for additional driver requirements for your hardware:

How To Install Cac Reader On Chromebook

Then check again to see if the PCSC Daemon (pcscd) is running.

Verify SmartCard Deamon is Active and Reading Your CAC

At anytime if you don't seem to get response from the SmartCard, check and see if the daemon is active by executing this in terminal:

If you remove and insert your card with no response during the scan, the daemon has crashed.

If you find that the pcsc daemon has crashed you can run this in terminal to restart the daemon:

Authority Certificates

Download extract and install the DoD Certificates.

The certificates can be obtained from this link:

Make note of the location you stored these certificates

Configure Firefox

Firefox requires manual selection of the PKCS #11 module.

How To Install Cac Reader Dod

The aforementioned DoD Configuration extension has been deprecated and will no longer install into Firefox.

Import Certificates

The current method of installing the certificates is one-by-one. This can be done through Firefox import mechanism.

Firefox 57 and later

• Preferences > Privacy & Security
  • Scroll Down to Security Section
  • Select View Certificates

Continue for All versions of Firefox

• Select the Import.. button at the bottom of the dialog.

The certificates that require installation are the following

• DOD CA-27 through DOD CA-32,
• DOD EMAIL CA-27 through DOD EMAIL CA-34,
• DOD EMAIL CA-39 through DOD EMAIL CA-44,
• DOD ID CA-33 through DOD ID CA-34,
• DOD ID CA-39 through DOD ID CA-44,
• DOD ID SW CA-35 through DOD ID SW CA-38,
• DOD ID SW CA-45 through DOD ID SW CA-48, and
• DoD Root CA 2 through DoD Root CA 4

Set Firefox to Require Selection of Certificate

When accessing multiple CAC protected pages, some pages will require different certificates from the card. Some require the non-email certificate while Enterprise Email will require the email certificate.Firefox 56 and earlier

• Preferences > Advanced > Encryption
  • Select the radio button in front of 'Ask me every time.'

Firefox 57 and later

• Preferences > Privacy & Security
  • Scroll Down to Security Section
  • Below the Certificates heading, select the radio button in front of 'Ask me every time.'

Set CAC Module

Firefox 57 and later

• Open Preferences > Privacy & Security
  • Scroll Down to Security Section
  • Select Security Devices

Continue for All versions of Firefox

• Check the left column. It should show an entry similar to 'CAC Module' along with certificate(s) as a sub-item. If it doesn't work then the entries are wrong.
  • Select the entry and select Unload to remove the security device
• To install/reinstall the CAC driver in Firefox using the above listed Security Devices
  • Select Load on the dialog box
  • Module name should be something like: DoD CAC
  • Module filename: either type in or browse to the location of the libcoolkeypk11.so, libcackey.so or opensc-pkcs11.so drivers
  • The files will be located under either:

or

Configure Chrome / Chromium

Unfortunately, Chrome (Chromium) doesn't automatically recognize the CAC once you've completed all the previous steps but it doesn't take much more work to get Chrome to work with the CAC.

Banda Bindas song from the album Aks is released on Jul 2001. The duration of song is 03:36. This song is sung by K.K. Banda Yeh Bindas Hai Aks. Side By Side Mixed Mode Vertically. Lyrics: Translation: Banda yeh bindas hai: This guy is bold: Banda yeh bindas hai: This guy is bold. Banda yeh bindas hai: This guy is bold: Ras peene ki pyaas hai: He's thirsty for a drink: 0: Watch Video. Aaja Gufaon Mein Aa. Banda yeh bindaas hai aks. Banda Yeh Bindas Hai Lyrics from Aks (Banda yeh bindas hai, banda yeh bindas hai -3 Ras pine kee pyas hai, banda yeh bindas hai -2) - (2) Naa naa naa naa naa. Banda hai yeh bindas hai yeh - (2) Bhawra hai, bhawra hai yeh lo bhi hai hushiyar hai Do do makote isake do bhari talwar hai Banda yeh bindas hai, banda yeh bindas hai - (2) Bhawra.

In order to utilize the CAC within Chrome it is necessary to install mozilla-nss-tools. You can do so through the openSUSE software installation site or through terminal:

While in a terminal in your home directory run one of the two following commands as your user:

• For 32-bit systems:

• For 64-bit systems:

Make sure that the utility is properly installed

If it is properly installed there will be an entry with 'CAC Module' and details of the library, slot and status. If you were not in your home directory when configuring modutil you will receive an error like 'modutil: function failed: SEC_ERROR_BAD_DATABASE: security library: bad database.'

Chrome should now be able to utilize the CAC without any issues

Removing CAC Module

If you have previously installed libcackey.so and you wish to utilize CoolKey instead, you will have to unload the 'CAC Module':

Test out your browser

Go to a CAC-enabled web site (www.us.army.mil) and test the CAC login.

Be patient as there may be a delay while authenticating with the CAC.

The PIN and certificate selection authentication process is in the reverse of what you may be used to when using non-Linux machines. Expect to be prompted first for PIN and then certificateselection.

Troubleshooting

It is possible that the PCSC Daemon can hang, to restart the service in terminal

Additional Notes

The Defense Travel System no longer requires Oracle Java in order to function correctly.

If you have trouble with IcedTea See the instructions on SDB:Installing_Java to install.

If you have previously used the CACkey module for accessing the Defense Travel System and now use Coolkey, you will have to edit the configuration file:

Alter the line that contains the following information (/usr/lib64/ for 64bit and /usr/lib/ for 32bit):

It should reflect the coolkey module:
