  CAC (Common Access Card) help for your personal computer

 

 

WELCOME TO THE MILITARYCAC.COM HOME PAGE

 

If you want to utilize your CAC to only logon to AKO or other CAC enabled sites (and not sign forms or use DTS), consider using LPS (Lightweight Portable Security)

 

I have come across a very serious problem:  ID card offices are now issuing out new PIV II CAC's.  You can tell if yours is one of these by looking for either of these on the back at the top.  "Gemalto TOP DL GX4 144K" or "Oberthur ID One 128 v5.5 Dual." 

Three possible fixes are known right now for this problem.  First is to install the newest DoD certificates, second is to run this fix for your version of Windows (either 32 or 64 bit), and the third is to install ActivClient 6.2.

If you have a few moments, consider taking a Quick Survey

  I created this website because I was unable to find information showing me how to utilize my Common Access Card (CAC) on my personal computers.  MilitaryCAC.com has been online since 9 November 2007, has assisted many people [look at the counter on the bottom of this page to see how many people have visited this site], and has been indexed by most search engines.
 
AKO's CAC Resource Center has been redesigned and renamed the CAC Reference Center(I am the content provider for the new site).  I am not employed by AKO, I assist them by answering emails addressed to ako.cac.
 
This website is designed to primarily assist Army users using Microsoft Windows Operating systems.
