Responding to a 128K PIV Card "Expired Certificate" Message
Since the 128k PIV cards can contain prior (expired) encryption certificates, the ActivClient middleware may prompt the card holder with a message that these certificates are near or past their expiration date.
Note: ActivClient middleware automatically checks for expiring certificates after the smart card has been in the card reader for at least 20 seconds.
If the message refers only to Key Management History certificates, (i.e., your old encryption certificates), select the 'Do not remind me' radio button to disable future warnings about those certificates.
However, if the message refers to 3 different types of certificates that have the same expiration date, it is time to renew the smart card certificates
For more information, please refer to the NIH Knowledge Base article at: http://go.usa.gov/4D5z.

Keep Your Password Current to Avoid Account Deactivation
Everyone transitioning away from username & password to HHS ID Badge/PIV Card & PIN login will still need to update their password when they receive an e-mail notice that their password is about to expire. Otherwise, they will be locked out of their computer until they have updated their password, even though they may not be using their password for login.
Sign up for the NIH Password Self Service program, iForgotMyPassword, so you can always manage your password and unlock your account at:https://iforgotmypassword.nih.gov/.

 How Not To Forget Your PIV Card
In your Outlook calendar, schedule a recurring 'meeting' toward the end of your workday that reminds you to take your PIV card with you.
Hopefully this reminder will save you a trip to the NIH Gateway Center.
Also, keep your password up to date since some applications will still require a Username and Password for login. |
Helpful TipsRenew your PIV Card's digital certificates before they expire -- the Department will notify you by e-mail 42 days before your certificates expire reminding you that you must renew your certificates. In the notification you will be advised to contact a Lifecycle Work Station operator in your IC. You will need up-to-date certificates in order to log in to your Windows computer and/or to use certain computer applications. Note: 'cert' renewals cannot be performed prior to the 42-day window. Instructions for purchasing a Lifecycle Work Station -- are now posted on the ID Badge website ( http://www.idbadge.nih.gov) under the 'What's New' section of the main page.
ICs that want to add LWS operators to the approved roster -- send a written request to Richie Taffet at [email protected]. Your request should include the new operator's name, their IC, their NED #, as well as the operator's e-mail address, building/room and phone number.
Once Mr. Taffet has approved the request, he will forward the name(s) to [email protected] to complete the approval process, add the name to the LWS operator roster, and inform the IC that the individual is now approved to operate the LWS.
Need to make changes to the LWS Operator directories? -- drop an e-mail to Lanny Newman, [email protected], and let him know what needs changing (e.g., adding new operators or LWS locations, removing operators, etc.). Remember, before a new operator can be added to the LWS directory, s/he must first be approved by Richie Taffet (see preceding Helpful Tip).
If an LWS is not available in your IC or your immediate area, and you work in the greater Bethesda or Rockville area -- please call 301-451-4766 or 301-402-9755 to schedule an appointment with the Division of Personnel Security and Access Control located in Building 31, Room B1A26 or in Building 10, South Lobby, Room 1C52. Both locations are on the NIH main campus. If you work outside the Bethesda/Rockville area, contact your local badge issuance office.

News Briefs
ORS Upgrades Access Control System at Bayview Research Center in Baltimore
ORS successfully upgraded the access control system at the Bayview Research Center (BRC) in Baltimore, MD on January 12, 2013, as part of ORS's continuing efforts to align NIH's access control systems with the new standards mandated by HSPD-12.
According to ORS's Information Technology Branch, this upgrade ties the BRC Physical Access Control System (PACS) back to the NIH Bethesda main campus, providing additional around the clock monitoring, more redundancy and system backup capabilities and faster response time for any system issues that might arise.
With the work completed, BRC will be able to upgrade its PACS in the event HSPD-12-compliant enhancements are required in the future. The ITB reports that the upgrade was successful and BRC tenants using the building that day saw minimal interruption to their access.
