Software For Scr3310 Cac Card Reader
I realize this topic has been discussed at length, but I'm a new user and feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the threads, replies, technical speak, etc. Plus, I'm not sure my particular situation is exactly what others are experiencing. Based on what I've read in other threads, I'm going to explain what's going on as best as I can and give as much information as possible:

--I installed the latest driver for Mac, but this is the best version I can get. I know it was stated that I might have to flash the new version from a PC, but I don't know what this means and another user stated they were able to get the newest version on a Mac from SCM. I'm not sure if this is the source of my problems.
CAC: Oberthur ID One 128 v5.5
I had installed one or two other CAC reading programs that didn't work, but uninstalled them. I've also run the codes listed in previous threads to remove any unwanted programs. During the PKard Assistant, the reader is recognized, but the Continue button remains grayed out when I insert my CAC. My CAC shows up in the Keychain Assistant and I'm actually able to use CAC-required websites like AF Portal and DTS, however I can't get the PKard Assistant to finish and I'm worried the functionality of the software will be limited without it. When I use the 'top' command in terminal, it shows PKard starting when I put my CAC in, but then it disappears and PKCS11 shows up, which I think is not supposed to happen. I've tried going into Library>Security>tokend, but the only thing there is the one for PKard. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, etc. Nothing has worked. Should I send the log? Thanks!!!

Once you’ve received your CAC reader, the next step is to plug it in and verify your PC recognizes it. If you have selected any of the above readers, you should be good to go. Your computer may actually begin to install the appropriate drivers needed automatically. However if that doesn’t happen, follow these steps to get started:
For Windows 10 Users:
- Right Click the Windows Logo found in the lower left-hand corner of your screen.
- Click System, then Device Manager

For Windows 7/8 Users:
- Right Click My Computer and select Properties
- Next select Device Manager and scroll down to Smart Card Readers
- Select the little triangle next to it in order to get started.
After your drivers have been installed, it’s time to move on to the next step.
To access DOD websites from home, you first need to have DOD permissions certificates on your home computer. These are simple enough to acquire though.
Using InstallRoot will make this issue monumentally easy through their simple to follow wizard. You can download InstallRoot for Windows from the following link:
This is the latest version of InstallRoot. Be sure to update your version if having issues.
