How to Access an Application using PIV Derived Credentials

  1. When logged into AMS on a mobile device with your AMS or NIH credentials, you have the ability to step-up to a more secure method using PIV Derived credentials. Applications allowing PIV Derived credentials will have a MFA icon to the right of the application link.

    Note: In order for you to use PIV Derived credentials, you must install the certificate on your mobile device.

  2. From your homepage, you can access any applications with the MFA icon listed under “Open Access, Internet” using this authentication method.

    Note: Applications with lock icons are PIV exclusive and requires HSPD-12 access card authentication only.
