Hello Colleagues,

We will not provide personal cell numbers for authentication, only office
numbers.  It will probably add to the time of processing, but so be it.

All,

We received the below notification regarding a new 2 factor authentication
for every log-in to the G5.  How are other institutions planning on handling
this?  All ideas are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

U.S. Department of Education to Implement Two Factor Authentication for G5
Access

The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has mandated that all federal
agencies implement increased cybersecurity capabilities to prevent
unauthorized access to government systems. In keeping with the OMB mandate,
the U.S. Department of Education will be implementing a more secure means
for users of the G5 GrantsAdministration System to gain access, referred to
as two factor authentication. Soon, all G5 external users will be required
to enter a second piece ofidentification in addition to their password when
logging into the system.

Two factor authentications (2FA) is a security process in which the user
provides two means of identification from separate categories of
credentials; one is typically something that you know, such as a password;
and the other is something that you have, such as a security code you
download from your mobile device.The combination of these two security
factors makes it more difficult for someone to access government systems.
Once both the first and second factors are validated,users are allowed into
the system.

G5 users are already required to enter a password when logging into the
system. The second factor will be provided by a free application called
Google Authenticator that G5 users download and register to their mobile
devices. The device will then generate a unique code each time the user logs
into G5. For users who do not own a mobile device, the code can be retrieved
via a text message or a phone call.

Two factor authentication will be rolled out to G5 users in groups, starting
in mid-April 2016 and ending in June 2016. Specific details on how to
download the Google application or use an alternative method of code
retrieval will be provided to each user in an email shortly before their
account is switched over to 2FA.

In preparation for the 2FA switch, all G5 users will be encouraged to enter
at least one phone number as well as provide two additional security answers
on their G5 profile, starting March 14. When logging into G5 for the first
time after this date, users can go to the 'My Profile' page where they can
enter the additional data.

For further information on the implementation of Two Factor Authentication
for G5, you may contact the G5 Hotline at (888) 336-8930.

I was required to use the 2 factor authentication on a different federal
website. I had them call my desk phone and give me a code. I entered the
code and then was able to log in (only to realize my password expired, so I
had to start over again.....) Lori

Subject: software as capital equipment?

Does anyone have strong opinions and/or policies about classifying software
 > $5K as capital equipment?  I know we used to do that if we bought an
instrument that included custom software, and we would sometimes add
software to the tagged piece of machinery and call it equipment (like
replacing a carburetor for performance compared to replacing worn-out
tires), but nowadays with stand-alone licenses costing more than the
hardware how do you classify the item?

(I've always said that the ADP line on the SF424 is where you put software.
And the Commandant of the Marine Corps called it ADPE back in 1987.)

In any case, our organization only charges indirects on direct labor so this
is more a question of category approval rather than cost or rate
negotiations.

Thanks! Doug
