Addendum

Access to the CIIF Web Site

Sensitive unclassified information relating to the Office of Naval Research (ONR)

Communications and Interoperability for Integrated Fires (CIIF) Future Naval Capability (FNC)

Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) can be obtained via accessing the CIIF web site at https://ciif.nrl.navy.mil. Receiving access to this web site is a multiple step process.

Step 1

The first step is to obtain a valid Pubic Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificate. This may be in the form of a U.S. government issued Common Access Card (CAC), an External Certification

Authority (ECA) certificate, or a company issued Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card.

If you do not have a CAC but do have a company issued PIV card, please provide the web site administrator with this information to see if your PIV card can be accommodated. Send emails to ciifadmin@nrl.navy.mil and websupport@ccs.nrl.navy.mil, with "CIIF site PKI access" in the subject heading.

If you do not have a CAC or company issued PIV card, there are three companies that can provide ECA certificates. Users may go through any of the three companies listed below:

– Operational Research Consultants, Inc.

More information about the ECA program can be obtained from http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca.

Step 2

The next step for gaining access to the CIIF web site is to send your security clearance information to the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) via the Joint Personnel Adjudication

System (JPAS). This is required to authenticate you before you will be given access to the web site. It is also required if you wish to attend the CIIF FNC industry day to be held at NRL. You can request that your visitor request be “perm cert,” which will be good for one year. A minimum SECRET clearance will be required.

Visitor JPAS information:

SMO Code 001735

Subject: CIIF FNC

Technical POC: John Schlorff, john.schlorff@nrl.navy.mil, 202-404-8390

Please call NRL security, Jaime Hall at 202-767-2996 or 202-767-2393 to verify that your clearance has been received in order to avoid potential delays.

Step 3

Once you have obtained a valid PKI certificate and have sent your security clearance to NRL, you must to go to the CIIF FNC web site (https://ciif.nrl.navy.mil) and request an account as follows:

– Click the “Request an account” link.

– With your CAC or PIV card in the reader, click the "Extract data from your PKI card" link.

– In the Username field, enter your requested user name (e.g., FirstName.LastName).

– In the “E-mail address” field, enter your email address.

– Click the “Create new account” button.

Once your identity and credentials have been fully verified, you will be given access to the CIIF web site.
