How to Access Files Within MOVE
Cloud services
You can access the Internet within MOVE, just as you can from any other computer, which means you can access files stored in any online storage service (Box, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.).
- Use a browser to download your files from the cloud.
- Edit the file.
- Upload your changes back to the cloud.
(ODU employees should be mindful of restrictions on the types of University data that can be stored in the cloud. See https://itsapps.odu.edu/storage_options/ for more information.)
ODU's H: drive (your home directory)
You can access your personal H: drive from MOVE.
- You'll find your H: drive on the left side of the File Explorer window.
ODU's J: and K: drives (academic and administrative shared directories)
For security reasons, J: and K: drives are not available through MOVE. We have a separate Employee Virtual Environment (EVE) for faculty and staff who need to access these drives from a virtual computer.
- Connect to the campus VPN.
- Go to eve.odu.edu (instead of move.odu.edu).
- Log in with your MIDAS ID and password to access a general lab computer.
If you do not already have a campus VPN account, find more information about requesting VPN access here.
USB drive
If you've downloaded the VMware Horizon client, you can access files from a connected USB drive. If you don't see the drive right away, you may need to check the USB Device menu from the VMware option bar at the top of the View client window.
Local drive
When you first connect to the VMware Horizon client, you have the option to share your local files. If you see a propt asking if you want to 'share removable storage and local files while using remote desktops and applications,' click Allow.

- Ensure your CAC reader works with Mac
- Check to ensure your Mac accepts the reader
- Check your Mac OS version
- Check your CAC’s version
- Update your DOD certificates
- Guidance for Firefox Users
- Look at graphs to see which CAC enabler to use
Step 1: Purchase a Mac Friendly CAC Reader
Purchase a CAC reader that works for your Mac. There are only a couple that you can choose from and I’ve listed them below.
If you already have a CAC reader and it isn’t Mac friendly, you could update the firmware, however, for the non-tech savvy people out there, it’s probably better to just purchase a new one and save the headache – they’re only ~$11-13 dollars.

Step 2: Plug in and Ensure It’s Accepted
Once you have your CAC reader, plug it into your Mac and ensure your computer recognizes it. If you have one of the CAC readers we suggested above, then you should be good to go.
If you are testing a different version, then verify that your Mac accepts your CAC reader by following these steps.
If for some reason your CAC reader isn’t working, then try the following steps.
Step 3: Update Your DOD Certificates
Now that you have your CAC reader connected and accepted on your Mac computer, it’s time to ensure you have the right certificates in order to access DOD CAC required web pages.
If you are using Chrome or Safari, then follow step 3a below. If you are using Firefox, you’ll need to do some extra steps:
![Fastx Mac Cac Card Fastx Mac Cac Card](http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_toolkit/bc54_nuc.png)
- Type ⇧⌘U (Shift + Command + U) to access your Utilities
- Find and Double click “Keychain Access”
- Select “Login” and “All Items”
- Download the following four files and double click each once downloaded so as to install in your Keychain Access.
- When you double-click the Mac Root Cert 3 and 4, you’ll need to tell your browser to always trust them. Click the button like you see below:
Additional Steps for Firefox
- Download All Certs zip and double click to unzip all 39 files
- While in Firefox, click “Firefox” on the top left, then “Preferences”
- Then Click “Advanced” > “Certificates” > “View Certificates”
- Then Click “Authorities” and then “Import”
- Import each file individually from the “AllCerts” folder. When you do this, the below box will popup. Check all three boxes and click “OK”
Step 4: Download and install CAC Enabler
- Download zip
- Double click the .zip file
- Because this is from an unidentified developer, you’ll need to hold down “Control” and click the program. Now select open and continue with install procedure.
- After installing, restart your computer
CAC Access at Home Success
Now that you have a CAC reader, certificates, and a CAC Enabler, you should now be able to access any CAC-enabled website and log on using your CAC password and data.
Common Reasons Why Your CAC Card Won’t Work On Your Mac
Ensure Your CAC Card Meets the Standards: In order for your CAC card to work, it must meet the minimal requirements. Currently, there are only four types of CAC cards that can be used. The ensure you have the right CAC card for online access, flip your CAC card to the back and if you have one of the below numbers written on the top left, then you are good to go:
- G&D FIPS 201 SCE 3.2
- Oberthur ID one 128 v5.5 Dual
- GEMALTO DLGX4-A 144
- GEMALTO TOP DL GX4 144
If you do not have any of the above written on the back, then proceed to your nearest PSD to get a new CAC card issued.
