Information
for “Common Access Card” (CAC) Card Holders
All SCB Solutions' smart card readers have
been fully tested and are 100% compatible with the CAC card.
How do I install my new smart card reader?
It is very simple, just follow the following
steps:
-
Plug the reader to your computer.
-
Follow the Windows wizard.
-
You are done. The driver is automatically
installed. With USB readers, a "green light" on the reader
confirms that the driver is installed and running.
Note that the driver will not display any smart card icon in
the system tray. This is a feature of the "CAC card
middleware"; see section bellow.
Please; note that in some rare cases your
operating system may not recognize the reader. If that
happens you may need to download the driver from our website at:

How do I use my CAC card?
Your CAC card has been specifically designed
to identify and authenticate you. To use this card on your
PC you will need to get from your computer support department a
specific piece of software called the "CAC card middleware." This software enables DoD
personnel to use their Common Access Card for a variety of
applications right from their PC. This software interfaces with
the PKI credentials and other login credentials residing on the
Common Access Card, and acts as a conduit between the card's
cryptographic functionality and the networked applications.
Only the local command can make the decision to provide CAC Middleware to individuals for use on home (non-governmental) computers. If the local command approves the use of the CAC Middleware on home computers, it is then the installation DOIM's responsibility to provide the software. Each Army installation has been
provided a specific number of middleware licenses. For
information pertaining to your installation's licenses contact your local Director of Information Management
(DOIM) or IT support.
