Navy specific issues:
Problem 2: There are several sites that don't want to work with your Mac any longer. I have found a way to make many of them work. Go to: https://militarycac.com/trustedcerts/ Download any of the sites you are having problems accessing. Go into your Keychain access and manually trust each of these. Now use Safari as your web browser.
Problem 3:
INFORMATION FOR APPLE MAC USERS ONLY
NOTE: For whatever reason, in order to access some of the Navy CAC-enabled sites, you must CANCEL when it first asks for your PIN. After canceling, you can then choose your certificate, and it will give you a second opportunity to enter your PIN. At this point, the PIN must be entered.
Information for NAVY personnel using Apple Computers: NROWS will not continue to the login page if it identifies your browser as non-compatible. This is easily fixed by having Safari report it "is" IE. Go to Safari->Preferences ->Advanced and ensure the "Show develop menu" check box is ticked. Now when you open NROWS and it gives the browser error, go to the Develop menu in the menu bar and select User Agent->Internet Explorer (any version 6.0 or greater) The "Unsupported" page will refresh, just hit the back button and voila, you're at the login screen. This works from the Navy Reserve Web site, or directly to the URL: https://nrows.sscno.nmci.navy.mil/nrows/
