1. A
CAC reader is not
required to log into AKO (at least right now), only when it is time to change your
password and make changes to accounts you sponsor. You DON'T
have to buy a CAC reader IF you have access to a reader at
another location, (like your unit). However, unless your unit
has 2 CAC readers hooked up to one of their computers, this
option might not exist.
* Please consider these
reasons why you might want to have your
own CAC reader at home.
2.
Accessing the below software links will
require your AKO (Army Knowledge
Online) or DKO (Defense Knowledge Online) login and password.
I have found out that the links will
work easier and faster, IF you log into AKO / DKO first,
minimize that page and then use the links on the other pages
within this website.
3.
If you want the install to work correctly the first time, I
recommend you install the software in the order it is listed on
my "one stop shop" page. This will
involve installing the Driver
for CAC Reader, downloading and installing the
DoD Certificates,
downloading and installing ActivClient
software, If you plan on working on military forms, you will
need to download and install the
Lotus Forms and
Approve It software.
4.
Some of the links will open up a new page. I do
this, so you won't lose where you are on the current page. You
may need to allow "pop ups" on this website.
5.
This website is designed to primarily assist
US Army
personnel.
