I also want to add it is really awesome that you dedicate your time to help others.  I think we have lost some of that dedication within our ranks.  So it is nice to see it is still alive.

                   I cannot say enough how much you have helped me. As I said last night I spent a whole year trying to correct this problem. I have been to all my Navy websites with no problems.  I will be sending you a coin and I will be getting the word out about your website and your personal help. Thanks again and if I have any more issues you will be the first I call thanks again.

Today I almost pulled my hair out (I am bald), I was trying to log on to AKO with my CAC and resorted to Google a method of curing this dreaded disease.

 

I came up on your slide show and it worked like a charm.  Listen: thank you a million. Your slides were easy to follow and the print screen embedded pictures is a winner in my book.

 

Take care and keep coming up with those quick fixes, because it helps the computer helpless like "me" a lot. Please feel free to send any other computer solutions you might have conjured up. I will like to share this with my unit; in fact, I will be using your slides to give a class on fixing this particular problem. Take care.

I don't know if you get many kudos for the CAC Resource page on AKO, but you deserve them.  I've installed CAC readers and associated software on many computers, both at work and at home, and your page is always one I look to for the latest information and help when I hit a snag.  I think you have done a great job with it and I hope you can keep it up.  Thanks again for all your assistance with CACS!

I have an above average computer knowledge, and I had a really hard time installing a new CAC reader on my home PC.  After watching one of your videos, I was able to fix it in a few seconds. 

People like you are the ones who make a difference in our Army, Selfless service and dedication of personal time to improve other Soldiers' performance and efficiency without regard to compensation  or official recognition.  If there is only a handful like you in each unit, the Army will be a much more efficient organization.

THANK YOU for putting this website together.  I was having issues with my MacBook and it not being able to login to CAC enabled sites.  I was given your website by our HQ helpdesk to download some root certificates, but the instructions were for Windows.  I sifted through your site and actually found instructions for MAC users.  Not only were your instructions easy to follow, but it was absolutely informative!  Thank you so much because I thought for sure it was a lost cause due to the fact that I'm not a Windows user at home.

Your site overall is so helpful for both Windows and Mac users...and just in general, really.  It is more helpful than actually going to/asking our COMM folks - go figure (I was actually told at one time that I am not able to use a CAC at all for a MAC computer).

 

Thanks so much again.

Chief Geek...  I like that.  You are the man.  I pulled the reader out of my PCMCIA port and went back to the old school USB.  Ran your firmware update and it's working like a champ.  Three of us have been beating our heads against the wall for days over this.  Everyone could use their CACs on my PC, but me (since I had one of the new 144 CACs).  Problem solved and thank you for your help.

Hi Chief Danberry, I just wanted to thank you so much for your website and all the information you have placed on it.  It was a tremendous help to me.  My son is in the National Guard and was trying to file for federal tuition assistance and couldn't do it without the card reader and we could not figure out to even begin to get it to work.  After lost of searching on the internet, we finally came upon your site.  Today, we successfully got his application filed - 3 days before deadline.  Thanks again for your help.

I just want to pass on my sincere appreciation for the time and effort put into this. This is definitely a much needed resource, and after trying through several military IT helpdesks from several Air Force Bases and CoComs, they all turned me away. Chief Danberry returned my call within several hours and had my CAC up and running within minutes. Thank you for your service to our country, and to us fellow military for helping us get access to our required sites!!!

 

Mr. AS

Just wanted to drop you a line and personally thank you for the information which you have provided at your militarycac.com website!

 I just got a new CAC card a few days ago, and spent a good 3 hours trying to get it to work on my home computer before I found your site.  I was only a few mouse clicks away from buying a new CAC reader....

After reading your detailed instructions, I was up in running in about 15 minutes.  (and I am also sending this e-mail via Citrix as well...)

 One would think that where I work (the Pentagon), someone at the CAC office would have provided this information to me. 

 Again, thank you for all of your efforts.  You are a credit to your branch!

This Officer is the real deal who KNOWs how to fix these CAC problems.  I hope the US Army can keep him on after his tour of duty!!  What an asset he is to the US Army Soldiers!

I have tried Microsoft support people.  The first tried his best and the second told me to reload Windows 7.  He referred me to the AKO help desk.  Same story. I then called and emailed CW3 Danberry.  Within a few hours/days he had emailed and called me back, diagnosed the problem, and had the solution.  I am now up and running.  I can not say enough positive things about how helpful the Chief was.  I hope that everyone finds their experience on this website as beneficial as I did.  I will blast this out repeatedly throughout my Chain Of command as this page and the 1 CW3, singlehandedly can Get Er dun~

After 4 hours of fighting with this %&#** confounded CAC reader driver/firmware/Air Force-tweaked ActivClient, I finally searched on 'can't get my cac reader to work' and found this incredibly long string of other equally confounded technophiles. I read down and almost got excited when I saw that SuperD had achieved success in his first post, but then he didn't provide enough detail. When I got to Chief Danberry's 2nd post of 29 Nov, I tried that, although I had been there 2-1/2 hours ago with no success. Followed your detail concerning updating the firmware and followed it to the 'T' and voila, bully, I say, damn well good, success, Eureka! Now I can spend the rest of the night doing my on-line testing to get my voucher for commercial certification in Security+, so I can maintain my Information Assurance Officer shred for a network at work I don't even have admin rights on - go figure. I think I'm gonna have a cold beer, then one for Sgt. Bill, then one for you, Chief. Then another one for me, then... THANKS!

Great instructions. Walked me through the steps so that my attempt at installing my CAC reader on a new laptop worked the FIRST time. Also greatly appreciated the notes of how it worked when you tried something and also the test page for digitally signing.

Thank you Chief! Your help was invaluable. My Reserve Unit recently received a tasker requiring all of us to be able to use DTS from our home or office computers.  I was having a great deal of difficulty getting access due to browser issues, pop-ups, etc. First I called my Unit's UAT.  He was very helpful, but despite his best efforts, I still could not get access.

 Then I called our Higher Headquarters and spoke with the full time DTS coordinator. Again, no luck. I then spoke with her two (2)(!!) full time technical support people. The first tried his best and the second told me that they do not provide support for home computer users.  He referred me to USAR tech support, which also would not provide support to me because I was using my home computer.  He referred me to the AKO help desk. Same story.  I then called and emailed CW3 Danberry. Within a few hours he had called me back, diagnosed the problem, and had the solution. I am now up and running. I can not say enough positive things about how helpful the Chief was.  I hope that everyone finds their experience on this website as beneficial as I did.

My signing ability has been restored thanks to CW3 Danberry.  By the way -  hold on to his E-mail address in case anyone else has similar problems.  He is excellent!

Thank you so much Mr. Danberry for the information found at your web site regarding Windows 7 Security and AKO POP-UP windows that says connection lost.
 
After trying several things on my own, nothing worked.  Every time I clicked on my cert.  the pop-up window would say "lost connection".  The same issue occurred at other "cac" web sites as well.
 
By selecting ONLY TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 under IE advanced tab, all of my problems went away, and I am now able to use my CAC at home on a laptop, with wireless, hooked up to router using the default Windows 7 drivers for my brand New Stanley Global SGT 114 CAC card reader.
 
By the way, for anyone looking to buy a CAC card reader, I would look into the SGT114, as it not only is a CAC reader, but also reads SIM cards and 39 flash memory types!

Thank you. My local admins could not help me and active identity website was not helpful (as far as I could tell) and many forums were bad as well for my issue, but this site fixed it right away. THANK YOU!  (settings for LOCAL_SERVICES to allow the smart card reader service to run).

Installing my hardware and software for my new CAC card reader was fairly simple. I had been told it was a hard and time- consuming task, so I was hesitant to install it. It turned out that the step by step instructions made it very simple and it took no time. Since I have Vista on my computer, the instructions on what to do before getting started and along the way if you had Vista, Windows 7 etc. made it so easy and trouble free. I will recommend this site to my fellow soldiers and tell them is not as painful as some one lead me to believe.

I want to relay my extreme gratitude to CW3 Danberry for what he did on Friday afternoon.  Around 1620 on Friday, I called CW3 Danberry to say my CAC Card had suddenly died, and I needed a new CAC Card to be able to work on an urgent project over the weekend.  Though I told him I was at the Washington Navy Yard in South East DC, and that I would not get to him till at least 1730, he said he would stay late and wait for me to drive down.  True to his word, when I got there at 1735, he took care of me and I was out the door in ten minutes.  I was able to work over the weekend, allowing me to get the project completed.  That saved me more heart ache than you could ever know as without CW3 Danberry, my only other option was to wait till Monday.

 CW3 Danberry is an asset to your Command and a fine US Soldier.

Excellent suggestion CW3 Danberry. I created a new profile, everything was already loaded, and it worked perfectly. Thank you very much for your time. Windows is not Linux and sometimes I just do not understand its quirks.

You're the BEST.  Thanks for the super-rapid response.  Also, I think you just made it possible for me to check Navy webmail for the first time *ever* -- I'm guessing those settings were what was keeping it from working all along?!  A silly thing to be happy about, I suppose, but a major relief for me!

[Setting up my MAC] worked like a charm!!!  Good instructions, clear and concise!  Only issue I had was I was using Camino to access AKO, did not work.  Reread the instructions found the Safari phrase, tried it an viola!  It works!  Now I can login using my CAC!  Thanks!

Will look at using Parallels plus XP to access the other programs I need (DTS & PureEdge).

Thanks for the help!

Your site was so very helpful!  I have tried several times to get NMCI webmail to work on my Mac, and I have now succeeded after stumbling onto your site!  Thanks for posting this, and for keeping it current and correct.  I wish there was a way to get it MORE out in the open.  I will spread the word to all my Mac coworkers.

Chief, you THE MAN.  I followed the instructions for modifying the ApproveIt Digital Signature install and then tried it again, and that seemed to work.  It would seem the default configuration after installing ApproveIt was not sufficient.

Let me say first of all how much I appreciate the unbelievable amount of work you have put in to the militarycac.com website.  It truly seems like a labor of love.  I work at a Help Desk for the Texas Army National Guard, and your website is an invaluable resource for us trying to troubleshoot the myriad number of problems with PureEdge, ApproveIt, and general CAC issues.
