Install and trust DoD CA certificates on Mac OS X. Tested on Catalina and Mojave. *NOTE*: This should also enable CAC if you didn't override the system drivers.

I've used this a few times, and greatly appreciate it!

Recently, the script will prompt me to enter my login for each certificate. Do you know if there is any way to remediate this?

Thank you!

Unfortunately I think this is a measurement Apple put in place when modifying the trust store. The best I can offer is using TouchID many, many times if your system supports it.

They updated the cert URL to 'https://dl.dod.cyber.mil/wp-content/uploads/pki-pke/zip/unclass-certificates_pkcs7_DoD.zip' and the extension is changed to just .p7b so you need to update line 1 and line 11 to make this work again.

Needs to be updated. This is working. Wasn't sure if there was a way to submit a PR against a GIST

export CERT_URL='https://dl.dod.cyber.mil/wp-content/uploads/pki-pke/zip/unclass-certificates_pkcs7_DoD.zip'

# Download & Extract DoD root certificates
cd ~/Downloads/
/usr/bin/curl -LOJ ${CERT_URL}

/usr/bin/unzip -o $(basename ${CERT_URL})

cd $(/usr/bin/zipinfo -1 $(basename ${CERT_URL}) | /usr/bin/awk -F/ '{ print $1 }' | head -1)

# Convert .p7b certs to straight pem and import
for item in *.p7b; do
  TOPDIR=$(pwd)
  TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d /tmp/$(basename ${item} .p7b).XXXXXX) || exit 1

Added your updates @dinosaurhead and some linter goodness to make shellcheck happy. Thanks for the input.
