How to set dod root certificates for Mac osx?

Greetings,

 

The DoD root and intermediate certificates are installed on a Mac computer by default. If you are visiting a website, and you get a prompt "site is not trusted", this means, either your DoD website stopped working

 

or you received a new CAC.

 

In any case, updating your DoD is called for. On a Mac computer, DoD root certificates go up to CA 26 only. If you have CA between 27 and 32, you have to install CAs 27-32 and CA emails 27-32. Download the file here.

 

After extracting the zip file, go to the extracted folder, double click each certificate to install them on your system.
