Summary
CACI APPLICATION PORTAL
What is it? The Application Portal is a web front page to specific
CACI information resources and tools available via the Internet. The Portal
is accessed through a web browser at http://apps.caci.com, and requires no client software
installation.
What can I access with it? Electronic Timekeeping (WebET), CACI
Webmail, the CACI Intranet Portal, Enterprise Software Downloads, Sametime Webconnect, Policy and
Guidelines, the Forms and Resources Library, CACI Virtual University (CVU),
and the external CACI website.
What do I need in order to use it? A computer with an Internet connection,
and a current web browser. Specific applications that are accessible from the
Application Portal have their own relevant access requirements.
From where can I access this? Any Internet connected computer.
CACI WEBMAIL
What is it? Microsoft Outlook is the enterprise messaging and calendaring
application used by CACI. You can
access Outlook Web Access (OWA) from a PC outside of CACI’s private network
at https://owa.caci.com. Enter your
network User name and Password to access your mailbox (User name in the
format caci\username).
What can I access with it? Your email, calendar and contacts. Email archives are not available in
OWA.
What do I need in order to use it? A computer with an Internet connection.
From where can I access this? Any Internet connected computer.
CACI INTRANET PORTAL
What is it? The Intranet Portal allows you to securely access
a group of resources inside the CACI network through a web browser at https://portal.caci.com,
and requires no client software installation.
What can I access with it? CACI’s intranet website (CACINet),
the Business Information Gateway (BIG), websites or web-based applications on
CACI’s private network, and files on Windows network shares. Some
applications such as Lotus Notes can be accessed provided the client software
is installed and configured for use through the portal.
What do I need in order to use it? You’ll need 1) a CACI network account and 2) a SecurID token (Form240).
From where can I access this? Any computer on an Internet connected network that allows
SSL. If you can access WebET from your location,
Intranet Portal access should be fine.
CACI Virtual Private
Networking (CACI VPN)
What is it? VPN allows you
to securely access any resource inside the CACI network from a remote
computer that has the VPN client software installed on it. VPN is a good
option if you’re working over a high-speed Internet connection and need
access to a wide range of resources.
What can I access with it? Everything you have access to at your CACI office is available
remotely when you are working through a VPN connection, providing the correct
client software is installed on the remote computer.
What do I need in order to use it? You’ll need 1) a CACI network account, 2) a SecurID token (Form240), and 3) the VPN client software.
If you plan on using client/server applications, such as Lotus Notes, you’ll
also need the client software for those applications installed.
From where can I access this? Any computer on an Internet connected network that will
support VPN traffic.
iPass
What is it? iPass is an easy to use Internet dial application
supplied by CACI that you can use to connect to the Internet simply and
securely from almost anywhere in the world. Usage charges for iPass are directed back to your CACI department.
What can I access with it? The iPass software provides Internet
connectivity. You must still use Webmail; the Intranet Portal, or VPN to
access resources inside CACI’s private network.
What do I need in order to use it? You’ll need 1) a CACI network account and 2) the iPass client software installed on your computer.
From where can I access this? Any of these three possibilities:
Anywhere you can get a phone line. Any hotel room listed in the iPass phonebook under wired broadband. Any Wireless LAN
(Wi-Fi) hotspot listed in the iPass phonebook under
wireless broadband, provided you have a working
Wireless LAN network card. The iPass phonebook is
located at http://www.ipass.com
and also in the iPass software client itself.
