CACKey Install for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS by Tim Friend

To get your Firefox back up:

1. Go to the software manager

2. Search for Firefox and remove it

3. After this process is finished go to your home folder

4. Do a ctrl +H here for hidden files

5. Navigate to the .mozilla folder and delete it (WARNING: this will delete your profile but it is

the only way to get Firefox back up and running)

*NOTE: These instructions are for a corrupt Firefox load....meaning you cannot open FF and you keep

getting errors that will not let you load the browser.

First make sure you have a clean install (these commands will get rid of the old configuration files):

1. Open a terminal and do:

1. sudo apt-get remove coolkey

2. sudo apt-get remove cackey (do this if you installed the i386.deb and it did not work; the

amd64.deb should work on all computers)

CACKey Installation Steps

1. Open a terminal and type the following: sudo apt-get install libpcsclite-dev pcscd pcsc-tools

libccid build-essential autoconf

2. Restart your computer

3. Open a terminal and type: pcsc_scan [check to make sure you have an output and it does not get

stuck on Scanning present readers....]

4. Download the latest version of “cackey” not “coolkey” [See Ref #2 Below]

1. Before install open a terminal and do the following:

1. cd /usr

2. sudo mkdir lib64 [put your password and do an ls to make sure the dir was created]

2. Once you download the “cackey” install it [download the .deb file; to install a .deb file go to

the dir you downloaded it to and double click it and mash the install button in the software

manager once it opens] cackey_0.6.5-1_amd64.deb or cackey_0.6.5-1_i386.deb [depends

on your computer; if you do not get a green check-mark with an install than it will be the

other one]

5. Download the DoD Configuration Extension for Firefox @ http://www.forge.mil/Resources-

Firefox.html (Let it install the plugin and restart; don't worry about all of the errors just click

through them and restart your browser).

1. Go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Encryption > Check “Use SSL 3.0 & Use TLS 1.0”

Certificates should be “Ask me every time” > Security Devices > Load > Name the Module

Name DoD Certificates > Click “Browse” go to File System > usr > lib64 > libcackey.so >

OK > OK > Close

6. Now open https://us.army.mil and log in!

7. ENJOY!!
