INFORMATION FOR APPLE MAC USERS ONLY

NOTE: For whatever reason, in order to access some of the Navy CAC-enabled sites, you must CANCEL when it first asks for your PIN. After canceling, you can then choose your certificate, and it will give you a second opportunity to enter your PIN. At this point, the PIN must be entered.

Information for NAVY personnel using Apple Computers: NROWS will not continue to the login page if it identifies your browser as non-compatible. This is easily fixed by having Safari report it 'is' IE. Go to Safari->Preferences ->Advanced and ensure the 'Show develop menu' check box is ticked. Now when you open NROWS and it gives the browser error, go to the Develop menu in the menu bar and select User Agent->Internet Explorer (any version 6.0 or greater) The 'Unsupported' page will refresh, just hit the back button and voila, you're at the login screen. This works from the Navy Reserve Web site, or directly to the URL: https://nrows.sscno.nmci.navy.mil/nrows/

You can try this as well for NROWS, but, you'll need Google Chrome:

NROWS sets some narrow parameters when it comes to User Agent identification. Thursby software has figured this out. You'll need to build an AppleScript and use Google Chrome as your browser:
The first step is to build the AppleScript.

Open Utilities > AppleScript Editor.
Paste the code from below.
Choose File > Save As…
Select File Format: Application.
Give the item a name and save.
Then run the app.

Code:

set myURL to 'https://nrows.sscno.nmci.navy.mil/nrows/'
tell application 'System Events'
set processList to name of every process
end tell
if processList contains 'Google Chrome' then
beep

 set theReturnedItems to (display dialog 'Google Chrome is already running.' & return & 'Would you like to quit and relaunch it?' default button 'Cancel')

set theButtonName to the button returned of theReturnedItems
-- If user clicks 'Cancel', this part of the script is never executed.
end if
-- This gets the path to Google Chrome. Unfortunately, it also launches the app.
set myGoogleChromePath to POSIX path of (path to application 'Google Chrome')
tell application 'Google Chrome' to quit
delay 1
set myCommand to 'open ' & quoted form of (myGoogleChromePath)
set myAgent to '--args -user-agent='Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; pl-PL; rv:2.0) Gecko/20110307 Firefox/4.0'
set myscript to myCommand & ' ' & myAgent & ' ' & myURL
do shell script myscript
