Army enterprise portals, Web sites and email

The transition to enterprise services will reduce the number of servers, the cost of hardware and software, and will improve the user experience. This section addresses how technology can be used to: support standardized, collaborative tool sets; share information to the maximum extent possible; and, provide portals with single sign-on capability. a. Enterprise portal. The Army enterprise portal improves information sharing and saves resources currently expended on traditional means of Web and email communication. The Enterprise Collaboration Services Program will replace the current Enterprise Email for collaboration and coordination of Army’s nonpublic information.

(1)    Enterprise Web portals. AKO (at https://www.us.army.mil), and Army Knowledge Online SIPRNET (AKO-S) are the current enterprise Web portals supporting unclassified and classified Army Web sites that activities will use to develop knowledge networks and portals.

(2)    Identity and access management. All Army email and Web servers that host sensitive information will be configured to use certificate-based client authentication using only DOD public key infrastructure (PKI)-approved certificates. The Enterprise Identity Management Service will populate the Global Address List, and will provision and maintain user account data and access management to enterprise applications. Issuance of the common access card (CAC) will serve as the authoritative source for account provisioning. Once a CAC is provisioned from the Defense Manpower Data Center, the user will have access to Army and DOD enterprise services from any Army system.

(3)    Logon. In accordance with AR 530–1, all account users are responsible for the security of their credentials and the content they create on the enterprise portal. Users who fail to properly secure their credentials and content via any Army IT resource may be subject to punitive and/or adverse administrative action.

(4)    Posting. Users will conform to posting procedures and policy on the use of official and authorized telecommuni-cations. See AR 25–13 for the unified capabilities (UC) policy.

(5)    Enterprise portal records. Email and other files on the enterprise portal that are determined to be records will be managed in accordance with AR 25–400–2.

b. Web sites and services.

(1)    Management of Web domains. NETCOM will manage the “army.mil” Web site assignment of subdomains and the Web domain registration process. The Web domain registry will include all of the Web domain information for “army.mil” Web sites at the third-level domain, as well as any commercial Web sites being used.
