Logging On With Username and Password

Your Site Security Manager (SSM) provides your username and password. Some sites require you to log on with a smartcard, such as a Common Access Card (CAC) or a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card. To learn whether your site requires a smartcard, please contact your SSM.

Type or copy your Web application's URL into your Web browser and press Enter.
On the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent page, read the notices and click OK.
On the Registered User Logon page, select the Username/Password option.
Type your username and password in their respective fields.
Click Continue to Logon.

Note: If your logon information does not match the records stored in the database, a message describes the error. Re-type your logon information and again click Continue to Logon.

After three unsuccessful logon attempts, your account will be suspended. Contact the DMDC Support Center (DSC) for assistance.

Depending on your authorization, you may see the Site Selection or Role Selection page. If so, complete this step.

If you are authorized for more than one site, the Site Selection page displays a list of sites you can access.
If you are assigned a role at more than one site, or if you are assigned more than one role at the same site (such as Site Security Manager and User), the Role Selection page displays a list of sites and roles you can select.
CAC-enforced site names are disabled and include the CAC Logon Required message. To log onto a site that requires a CAC, insert your CAC into the card reader and click Log On with your CAC.

Make a selection and click Continue.

When the authentication process is successful, the application's Home page displays and you can begin using it. From this point on you can use the application's built-in help system to view more information.

For security, the system automatically logs you off after a period of inactivity.
