How to Access Game Warden IL4 & IL5 Environments

Accessing Impact Level 4 (IL4) or Impact Level 5 (IL5) environments requires completing several prerequisites in order. Work through each step before moving to the next.

Important

Some applications may require Cloud Native Access Point (CNAP) whitelisting. Review CNAP Whitelist to understand the requirements and how to submit a CNAP whitelist request.

Requirements summary

The table below shows which of the three access requirements apply to IL4 and which apply to IL5. A ✓ means the requirement applies, a hyphen (-) means it does not, and "May apply" means it depends on your application.

Requirement	IL4	IL5
Government access card (CAC, ECA, or PIV) linked to P1 SSO account	✓	✓
Appgate SDP (if accessing from outside NIPRNet)	✓	✓
Compliance scripts (if accessing from outside NIPRNet)	-	May apply

Receive and link a government access card to your Platform One (P1) account

IL4 and IL5 environments require a CAC, ECA, or PIV card linked to a P1 SSO account for authentication. If you do not have a government access card, you must receive one before proceeding. The required card type depends on your affiliation and access requirements. After receiving the card, configure the equipment and link it to your P1 SSO account.

For guidance on how to receive an access card, see Government Access Cards Overview.
For guidance on how to receive and configure a DOW-approved External Certification Authority (ECA) hardware token to read the access card, see Install External Certification Authority Tokens.
For guidance on equipment setup and linking your card to a P1 SSO account, see Link Access Card with Platform One Account.

Install Appgate SDP

If you are accessing IL4 or IL5 environments from outside NIPRNet, you must install Appgate SDP. See Appgate SDP Setup for guidance.

Run compliance scripts

IL5 access from outside NIPRNet may require running compliance scripts.
