DS Logon

DS Logon (DoD Self-service Logon or DSL) is a secure, self-service logon ID created by the Defense Manpower Data Center as an enterprise identity credential that allows individuals affiliated with the Department of Defense (DoD) or the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) access to several websites using a single username and password. A DS Logon supports the Personnel Identity Protection (PIP) Directive and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) e-Authentication guidance providing a high level of authentication assurance in situations where Common Access Card (CAC) authentication is not available.

History

As part of the eAuthentication initiative in 2006, DMDC created Family Account to be the main authentication method for Beneficiary self-service applications such as Beneficiary Web Enrollment (BWE).

Objectives
  1. Authenticating individuals
  2. Providing unique authorization attributes
  3. Providing a portable identification credential

These objectives are explained further below.

Authenticating individuals

DS Logon ensures that DoD identification credentials are provided only to personnel with a current and appropriate affiliation with the DoD or VA. DS Logon serves as an identity credential within the DoD and VA for individuals unable to obtain a CAC (DoD) or PIV (VA) credential.

Provide unique authorization attributes

DS Logon can be customized to provide unique authorization attributes for each website accepting the credential. Attributes include, but are not limited to:

  • Credential Level
  • DoD Entitlements
  • PII data

Providing a portable identification credential

DS Logon provides a robust, portable credential to individuals requiring access to DoD or VA systems for the purpose of self-service.

gollark: I manage my servers over SSH, it's very convenient.
gollark: For example, mouse input (this is available but not very well supported), image display, more styling, sort of thing.
gollark: What would be neat is terminal-type applications with better interactivity.
gollark: GUIs can be more intuitive for some tasks, though.
gollark: How long did the testing take? If it was a long one, then I'd expect the desktop CPU to do better because of thermal throttling.
