email messages using S/MIME with certificates stored on your Common Access Card.

To download Mozilla for Mac OS X, visit the Mozilla website at www.mozilla.org and
download version 1.2.1 or later.

m Add your smart card reader to Mozilla.
m Set up Mozilla to use your Common Access Card to sign or encrypt messages.
m Install root certificates on your computer.
Adding Your Smart Card Reader to Mozilla
You use Mozilla’s Privacy & Security preferences to identify the smart card reader by
specifying the location of a file installed by FSCP. The file is named “pkcs11.shlb” and it’s
located in the Library folder on your Mac OS X startup disk.
To add your smart card reader to Mozilla:
1 Be sure the reader is connected to your computer and insert the Common Access Card.
2 Open Mozilla and choose Preferences from the Mozilla menu.
3 Click the triangle next to Privacy & Security, then select Certificates.
4 Click Manage Security Devices, then click Load.
5 Enter a name in the Module Name box (for example, “CAC SmartCard”), then type the
location of the file in the Module Filename box:
my_startup_disk:Library:Application Support:Mozilla:pkcs11.shlb
“My_startup_disk” should be the name of the Mac OS X startup disk for your computer.
6 Click OK to close the dialog.
A message appears when Mozilla recognizes the card.
7 Click OK to close the Device Manager dialog and the Preferences dialog.
Important Do not click the Enable FIPS button.
Important Do not click the Unload button to unload the “pkcs11.shlb” module.
