Q&A

Eauthentication

EAuthentication
What is it?
What is needed for FFAVORS?
How do I obtain my ID?
What can go wrong?
Where can I get help?

EAuthentication
What is it?
Eauthentication is the single sign-on solution used by USDA for all websites that involve transactions. One login ID and password can be used for multiple USDA web sights. If you also access the Web Based Supply Chain Management System (WBSCM), you can use the same eAuth ID now for FFAVORS.

EAuthentication
What is needed for FFAVORS?
For non DLA staff, a level 1 eAuth ID is all that is needed. This will allow you to access the site and perform the tasks needed.
EAuthentication
How do I obtain my ID?
When DLA adds new users to FFAVORS, an automated e-mail will be sent to the user. The email will step the user through the registration process.

Current users can obtain their ID and password at this link
identitymanager.eems.usda.gov/registration/selfRegistrationForm.aspx?level=1

This is a four step process.

EAuthentication
Step 1: Level 1 Access Account Registration
Complete the information on the registration page

It is very important that the Last Name and the email address used here are exactly the same in FFAVORS.

User ID needs to be: 6 -20 Characters

Password is a challenge. It is required to be:
12 -24 characters
At least 1 upper case letter
At least 1 lower case letter
At least 1 number
At least 1 special character of
!#-$%*=+:;?~
No spaces
No Dictionary words
EAuthentication
Step 2: Level 1 Access Account Verification

Verify the information was entered correctly.

Use [Edit] to make changes

[Submit] will move to step 3
Eauthentication
Step 3: Print Confirmation email

You will receive an email from either eems.support@ocio.usda.gov or eAuthHelpDesk@ftc.usda.gov to print for your records and will outline the final step

If not received within a few hours:

Check other folders such as SPAM, JUNK

If not found: CALL 1-800-457-3642

Eauthentication
Activate Your USDA Account with Level 1 Access

Within the email, step 2 will allow you to Activate the ID through the link
òACTIVATE MY ACCOUNT’

Eauthentication
Step 4: Account Activation

Your ID is ready to be used!!!!
EAuthentication
What can go wrong?
Browser issues
User will see either the error message òServer Error in ò/Login’ Application’ or the login page will remain after clicking [Login]

FFAVORS requires Internet Explorer 7 or later.
If using Version 8 or 9, you need to run them in Compatibility mode

EAuthentication
Login Failed
Most likely one of two problems
Step 1: ID and password not correct
Use the òForgot your User ID’ to verify
Use òForgot your Password?’ to reset
If still issue, try step 2
Step 2: eAuth account issue
From Login page, click the òUpdate your Account;’ link
Try ID and password
If successful, need to contact eAuth Help desk and request they migrate your ID to the ID Minder system
If not, let your DLA account rep know so we can trouble shoot
Eauthentication
Login Failure òNo match of eAuth last name and email address was found in FFAVORS’

Verify what was used to create the eAuth ID and then Contact your FFAVORS account rep to verify or email paamagic@dla.mil?subject=FFAVORS Web the issue. Once both systems are brought in alignment, user will gain access.
EAuthentication
Where can I get help?

Enterprise Identity Management -Leveraging Participation Management (PM) to Provide Single Sign-On for COD
Bridget-Anne Hampden | Nov. 2012
U.S. Department of Education
2012 Fall Conference

Current State
Objectives of the Enterprise Identity Management Service (EIMS) Project -Phases 1 and 2
Approach
EIMS Target State

Next Steps
Questions
Current State: User Feedback
We Heard You Loud and Clear:
Multiple log-ins for COD are frustrating and inefficient.

EIMS is a solution which allows a single user sign-on for COD and other FSA systems.

Current State
Objectives of EIMS Project Phases 1 and 2
Objective: To make registration and sign-on for users a more efficient process while still maintaining security for FSA systems by:
Simplifying access to FSA systems with single (reduced) sign-on
Creating a standardized solution supporting the entire user community and all business systems
Removing Personally Identifiable Information (PII), such as the current use of Social Security Numbers (SSN) and Date of Birth from log-in
Maintaining a consistent data security posture across all FSA systems

Approach
Step1: Placing all FSA systems behind a single authentication application (AIMS) e.g. National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), eCampus-Based System (ECB), Central Processing System (CPS)
Step 2: Leverage PM system for COD enrollments to provide privileged users a single FSA ID for COD
Step 3: Create non-identifiable standard user IDs and passwords for students and borrowers to access FSA systems
Step 4: Move from physical (hard) tokens to the use of soft tokens
EIMS Target State
EIMS Target State
Changes: COD online access
Changes: PM
Changes: The Transition Period
During the transition period from the first week of March 2013 to the first week of May 2013:
Primary DPAs will need to enroll current COD online users in PM
Users will need to register in PM, if they do not have an FSA ID (john.doe.fsa)
During this period, new COD online users will need to be enrolled in both systems
After 1st week of May, Primary DPAs will only be able to use PM to enroll COD online users

Changes: Summary of Required Actions
Changes: Privacy and Security Improvements
FSA requires that all users accept their responsibilities regarding the use of FSA systems and information as is written in the Privacy Statement and the Rules of Behavior
In addition, FISMA requires that FSA track this information and provide audit information as requested
On a daily basis, users will be asked to accept both these statements when they first log-in to COD

Changes: Annual Security Training Notification
Users are required to complete an Annual Security Training
Provides an understanding of the security responsibilities associated with accessing FSA systems
Reminds users of their responsibilities to protect the information in FSA systems especially the PII data of the students, borrowers, and users
Specifies certain activities as not allowed, such as the sharing of FSA IDs
For the ten (10) days prior to expiration, users will be notified of the expiration of their security training when they log-in to COD
If the Annual Security Training is not complete, user will not be able to access COD

Changes: COD Enrollments and Log-in
Important Dates
February 2013
Initial information available on IFAP website
March 2013 -May 2013
Detailed instructions available on IFAP website
Primary Destination Point Administrators (DPA) enroll COD users in PM
COD users register and create a profile in PM to get a new FSA ID and Password
First Week of May 2013
Single (reduced) sign-on for COD goes live!
Next Steps for EIMS
Complete enhancements to PM
Send out communications through IFAP (Feb/March/May)
Implement new COD single (reduced) sign-on -COD Release 12.1, first week of May 2013
Begin work on removing PII for non-privileged users -Late Fall 2014
Perform feasibility testing with InCommon Federation
Provide ongoing progress information through IFAP
