After a microsoft update a few months ago my smart card reader no longer recognize my CAC. When I would try to log onto military sites, it would say no certificates present. On activclient (middleware), it would say no card reader detected. I am using a SCR331 and a Stanley global as card readers. Welcome to the DoD ID Card Reference Center. Do you have questions about your Common Access Card (CAC) or your Uniformed Services ID Card? This site guides you through the process of obtaining, using, and maintaining both types of cards. Your CAC or VoLAC must expire within 30 days. For example, you can update a CAC that expires on 30 May 2020 no sooner than 1 May 2020. Your CAC or VoLAC must be unexpired when attempting to update the certificates. You must have an active Affiliation which extends beyond the ID card expiration date.
