1 An example of a dual persona person is one who has a CAC issued as a contractor and a CAC issued as a member of the Army Reserves. This individual has two CACs, but until the PIV Auth Cert is activated on their CAC cards, they only have one digital identity. The PIV Auth Cert has a field that is unique for each persona. This is a 16 digit numeric field that starts with a 10 digit Electronic Data Interchange Person Identifier (EDIPI) and adds to it a 6 digit Federal Agency Smart Credential Number Role specific attribute.

2 Given the sensitivity of information processed by PIEE, DoD Instruction 8520.03 required Credential Strength is “D”. This Credential Strength is equivalent to the OMB / NIST defined Identity Assurance Level 4.

Certificate Troubleshooting

Descriptions and solutions for common certificate issues.

When attempting to register, login, or authenticate a token with a CAC users may receive the following error:

Unauthorized 403 Error

Note: For Registration, Login, and Token Authentication, only the X509 Authentication Certificates from your Personal Certificate Store that have Key Usage of Digital Signature and Enhanced Key Usage of Client Authentication should be used if present. If the Authentication Certificate is not present on the CAC, then the ID certificate must be used. Key usage of 'Digital Signature' must be present on the ID Certificate.

Possible Causes:

  • No valid X509 certificates installed or available to the browser.
  • User may have clicked the cancel button when prompted to select a certificate.
  • A certificate that is not valid for authentication was selected.
  • The PIEE URL may not be in the trusted sites list.
  • The browser may not be configured for client certificate selection, or may be configured incorrectly
  • The browser cache and/or browser session may need to be cleared or refreshed
  • Network interruption or configuration may be disrupting the authentication process

It is recommended users engage with local IT support to assist them with the troubleshooting steps below as some users may not have adequate permission to perform the steps needed.

Possible Solutions:

  • Close all browser windows and Clear Browser Cache

    Clearing the browser Temporary Internet File Cache can resolve many common browser and performance issues. Some users may not have access to delete their own temporary internet files; in that case refer the user to a system administrator.

    Starting a new browser session can also refresh the browser cache, depending on the browser and user settings.

When attempting to login or register with a CAC users may receive errors related to the OCSP.

Most OCSP errors during CAC login are caused by network outages, OCSP server misconfiguration or downtime, and/or Certificate Revocation Lists are not updated.

The Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL) are cached for the PIEE server certificate and applet code signing certificate as this is handled on the Operating System / Browser level.

Verification

  • Has the certificate login ever worked with this certificate?
  • Are other users receiving the same error?
  • Is OCSP available?

Possible Solutions:

If CAC login has worked in the past and there are no known or reported issues connecting to the OCSP

    This may require local administrative rights

    • From an open Internet Explorer window click Tools and select Internet Options or from the Control Panel click on Internet Options
    • Click the Content Tab
      • Click Certificates
      • Under the Personal Tab, select the NON-Email Certificate
      • Click View
        • Under the Certification Path
          • Check the certification path is valid
            • The Certification Path typically three levels deep
            • The path should look like this:
              • DoD Root CA 3
              • DOD CA -XX [where XX = the CA issuing number]
              • Lastname.first.I.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ....
          • If the Certification Path is invalid:
            • Make note of each certificate listed above DoD Root CA-3
              • E.G. DoD Interoperability
            • Click OK on the Certificate window
        • On the Certificates window
          • Click on the Intermediate Certification Authorities Tab
            • Remove all the certificates that were listed above DoD Root CA-3
              • E.G. DoD Interoperability

    Removing and republishing user certificates can correct issues with certificates not being available, readable, or verifiable.

    Before proceeding notify the user that some of the following steps may require a local system administrator. These steps cannot be completed without ActivClient and access to the ActivClient User Console. If that is not available do not proceed.

        • Click Tools
        • Select Advanced
          • Click "Forget state for all cards" – or – Reset Optimization Cache (this removes and republishes in one step)
            • After confirmation, return to the Tools > Advanced menu
          • Click "Make Certificates Available to Windows"
        • Reboot the computer
          • The CAC certificates should now be republished and available to use.
