United States Department of Agriculture Office of the Chief Financial Officer NATIONAL FINANCE CENTER NFC SFTP Work Group Meeting Process Flow The Agency Network POC will work with NFC network personnel to: a) Determine whether your server supports SFTP. b) Determine whether your server has Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) key capability. c) Configure servers & set up firewall rules. d) Establish connections between the NFC server and the Agency server. e) Exchange IP addresses. f) Test network traffic between end points. g) Provide server file names. The Agency Security POC will work with NFC security personnel to: a) Download recommended free security software. b) Exchange PGP keys with NFC. The Agency Testing POC will work with NFC network and development personnel to: a) Troubleshoot and test connectivity. b) Troubleshoot and test file contents. The Agency Interconnection Security Agreement (ISA) POC will work with NFC ISA personnel to: Review the existing ISA to identify changes needed to network architecture or establish a new ISA, if none exists. Note: If connectivity to the vendor is required, the ISA must be completed by the vendor. 1. 2. 3. 4. 3 Bulletin HRPAY 19-13, Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) Process
United States Department of Agriculture Office of the Chief Financial Officer NATIONAL FINANCE CENTER NFC SFTP Work Group Meeting Process Flow To Establish Project: 1. Agency submits the completed Form AD-3003 and Form AD-3113 to NFC.GESDREQUEST@usda.gov. 2. NFC requirements analyst contacts Agency within 15 days to acknowledge receipt of the request. 3. NFC requirements branch assigns a due date for Functional Requirements Document (FRD) based on project complexity and/or Agency priority (e.g., 30 days for a small project, 60 days for a medium project, and 90-120 days for a large project). 4. If file changes are required (i.e., files added/deleted or file formats modified): a) NFC requirements branch requests an Interim Interagency Agreement (IIA) to fund requirements. b) NFC sends the IIA to Agency. c) Agency returns the signed IIA within 14 days. 4 Bulletin HRPAY 19-13, Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) Process

NFC requirements analyst conducts meetings with the project team to further define and clarify requirements. 2. NFC requirements analyst completes the FRD and submits to Agency. 3. Agency returns the signed FRD within 14 days. 4. Agency reviews, updates, and returns the signed ISA to NFC. Note: No updates to the ISA are required unless more than 3 years have passed since it was last updated, or the project requires changes in network architecture (e.g., IP Address). 5. If file changes are required: a) NFC prepares cost estimate. b) NFC submits the final Interagency Agreement (IA) package, including the signed FRD and cost estimate, to the Agency. c) Agency returns the signed IA package within 14 days. 5 Bulletin HRPAY 19-13, Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) Process

United States Department of Agriculture Office of the Chief Financial Officer NATIONAL FINANCE CENTER NFC SFTP Work Group Meeting Data Center Relocation Impacts: 1. TN3270/Rumba/Telnet/SSH - Any connectivity specifying IP addresses must be updated to utilize the DNS name or be prepared for changing on the date of the cutover. 2. FTP/SFTP - Agencies utilizing IP addresses in job commands must modify the IP addresses or change to DNS names. 3. Connect Direct - Agencies utilizing Connect Direct must confirm they are using a host name for NFC s Connect Direct Node or must establish a new node for testing and be prepared to modify the existing node at cut over. 4. WEB Applications such as: Reporting Center 5. VPNs - Existing VPNs to NFC Denver must establish new VPNs to the National Information Technology Center (NITC) in Kansas City, MO. 6. Firewall Rules / White Lists - Agencies with firewall rules that allow traffic to or from NFC for file transfers, remote printing, or system access must update those rules to allow access between the new addresses. 7. Interconnection Security Agreements (ISA)s ISAs will be updated to include the new IP information and the new physical location of the NFC systems. WEBTA EPP CLER 18
