I know I could have contacted CW3 Michael Danberry privately via inbox but I hope an open forum would resolve this issue not only for me but for whoever else that may have or will experience this.

I have had this issue on my home computer (laptop) now for three days. I can log into AKO with the regular certificate (not the EMAIL one) but when I want to check my email on Enterprise (of course I select the EMAIL certificate), I get the “Please insert a smart card.” Window with the “OK” greyed out.

That leaves me with two button choices; the “Cancel” or “Details >>” button. When I click on the “Details >>” button I get this Smart card status: “A smart card was detected but is not the one required for the current operation. The smart card you are using may be missing required driver software or a required certificate.”

Here are some of the things I have tried already:

- Restart
- Uninstall ActivClient then Reinstall again (restarting at each)
- Install the driver from IOGear then restarting my computer
- Change the CAC reader

My computer is a MS Windows 7 Home Premium; x64-based PC

I can’t get to my emails!! I need to get on it for some very important work! Please Help!

I have the EXACT opposite issue. Every CAC site works including email EXCEPT AKO. Still can't figure out why

I have tried this on multiple computers and I continue to get an error the kicks me out to the F5 page. Will not let me log into the computer. I have tried five computers, two CAC readers, and my own and someone's else's CAC.
