Windows 10 Smart Card Reader and Military Common Access Card (CAC) Certificate Issues I'm military and so the use of my smart card reader is a necessity. Likely, those reading this who have a solution probably understand or have a similar issue.
There is an opensource software called 'Smart Card Manager' which is referenced on militarycac.com as an alternative to using ActivClient 6.2 (AKA for those of us that can't access a CAC secured site to download a program designed to enable the use of a CAC card needed for said site).
I'm not totally sure what the program actually did, however, it seems to have re-established the link between my card reader and my internet browser/certificate management software. Below is the link to the program:
And below is the link to the page on militarycac.com (Also a wonderful resource for anyone military for finding the latest drivers and certificate packs for your computer and card reader)
Finally, make sure (if you're military) that you have all of the appropriate DoD PKI Root Certificates installed and have uninstalled old/conflicting certificates. Instructions for this can be found by clicking the Navy Knowledge Online (NKO) website ( https://wwwa.nko.navy.mil/ ) and clicking the CAC Login Help link below the login button in the center of the page. The link will pop up a window with instructions for things to do on the DISA website. Make sure you complete the following:

- Follow the instructions to run the Cross-Certificate remover (instructions are found in the popup on NKO.
- INSTALL 'Installroot 4' on your machine. To do this choose the 'Trust Store' tab instead of the 'Certificate Validation' tab on the Tools page of the DISA site. 'Installroot 4: NIPR Windows Installer' is the DoD PKI certificate installer that you then need to download and install.
Following all of that, you should be up and running. It's taken me a lot of digging to find this solution and I've done a lot of the working with solutions from militarycac.com in the past and it seems every time windows changes, something about smartcard login on government sites breaks. Hopefully this will save some of the rest of you that headache that we all hate.

You guys are my last hope. I installed Ubuntu on my computer and have been trying to get my CAC reader to work for about three weeks. MilitaryCAC.com has good info, unfortunately nothing that helped me. I got three months of travel claims backed up and no way to submit them. Any guidance or an expert would be awesome. I have been in this sub-reddit for about a year and have seen some interesting posts, so I figured, might as well.
EDIT 2: In case anyone happens across this post, I have the answer. A VPN. As soon as I got a VPN running everything worked perfectly, I did not need to do any of that crazy stuff.
EDIT:Thanks for the advice so far. Currently, I am using the twice stated advice of 'http://www.spi.dod.mil/lipose.htm'. I had no idea that there was something like this program or OS. I am running into a slight problem in creating a bootable flash disk, but I believe it can be solved within the hour.
My current setup : ASUS laptop, IOGEAR GSR 203 card reader, firefox and Ubuntu 14.04.
