| | [1] | As per the Initial Product Review the following constraints must be applied:
Java Quick Network (jNQ) - Java Server Message Block (SMB) Client can be installed on non-Windows operating system, Microsoft Windows 8 or later desktops/laptops. Currently, Windows 7 is the Microsoft baseline operating system at VA. jNQ - Java SMB Client must not be installed on any VA desktops/laptops that use the Windows 7 operating system.
It is advised that a custom usage policy be created at the jNQ - Java SMB Client entry point and users required to accept it before they are allowed to access the site. It must be stated explicitly that discussing and posting of VA sensitive information is prohibited. | | [2] | Veterans Affairs (VA) users must ensure VA sensitive data is properly protected in compliance with all VA regulations. All instances of deployment using this technology should be reviewed by the local ISO (Information Security Officer) to ensure compliance with VA Handbook 6500. | | [3] | Users should check with their supervisor, Information Security Office (ISO) or local OIT representative for permission to download and use this software. Downloaded software must always be scanned for viruses prior to installation to prevent adware or malware. Freeware may only be downloaded directly from the primary site that the creator of the software has advertised for public download and user or development community engagement. Users should note, any attempt by the installation process to install any additional, unrelated software is not approved and the user should take the proper steps to decline those installations. | | [4] | Due to potential information security risks, cloud based technologies may not be used without the approval of the Enterprise Cloud Solution Office (ECSO). This body is in part responsible for ensuring organizational information, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), and VA sensitive data are not compromised. (Ref: VA Directive 6004, VA Directive 6517, VA Directive 6513 and VA Directive 6102). | | [5] | This technology must use the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) - Oracle.
Per the Initial Product Review, users must abide by the following constraints:
- VA requires FIPS 140-2 compliant cryptographic modules for encryption of data at rest and in transit. Ensure underlying infrastructure and application access are configured to provide FIPS 140-2 encryption for web access supporting jNQ - Java SMB Client.
- Java SMB Client can be installed on non-Windows operating system, Microsoft Windows 8 or later desktops/laptops. Currently, Windows 7 is the Microsoft baseline operating system at VA. jNQ - Java SMB Client must not be installed on any VA desktops/laptops that use the Windows 7 operating system.
- It is advised that a custom usage policy be created at the jNQ - Java SMB Client entry point and users required to accept it before they are allowed to access the site. It must be stated explicitly that discussing and posting of VA sensitive information is prohibited.
| | [6] | Due to potential information security risks for cloud-based technologies, users should coordinate closely with their facility ISSO for guidance and assistance on cloud products. If further guidance is needed contact the Enterprise Cloud Solution Office (ECSO), which is the body responsible for new software development in and migration of existing systems to the VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC) and ensuring organizational information, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), and VA sensitive data are not compromised within the VAEC. For information about Software as a Service (SaaS) products or to submit a SaaS product request with the Project Special Forces (SPF) team, please use their online form.

Per the Initial Product Review, users must abide by the following constraints:
- jNQ – Java SMB Client will require a 3rd party FIPS 140-2 certified solution for any data containing PHI/PII or VA sensitive information.
- Due to potential information security risks, SaaS/PaaS solutions must complete the Veterans-Focused Integration Process Request (VIPR) process where a collaborative effort between Demand Management (DM), Enterprise Program
Management Office Information Assurance (EPMO IA), Project Special Forces (PSF), Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office (ECSO), Chief Technology Officer (CTO), and stakeholders determines the SaaS/PaaS category during the Discovery Phase. All SaaS and Non-AWS/Azure (VAEC) PaaS assets are routed to EPMO IA for Analysis and Approval to Operate (ATO) with technical oversight, acquisition, production, and sustainment provided by PSF.
