Information Center under DISA contract as a means of communicating
official policy, procedures and other information of concern to
management personnel at DDN facilities. Back issues may be read
through the TACNEWS server ("@n" command at the TAC) or may be
obtained by FTP (or Kermit) from the NIC.DDN.MIL host [192.112.36.5]

REGISTRATION OF TAC USERS
On 25 October 91, the Defense Information Systems Agency
(DISA) published DDN Management Bulletin 85, which discussed a
problem with the timeliness of TAC users being re-registered
with the Network Information Center (NIC). This problem
surfaced as a result of MILNET hosts being deconfigured and
moved behind concentrators/gateways. In Management Bulletin
85, the 15th of December had been set as the date the NIC was
to terminate network access to all TAC users utilizing TAC
cards registered to deconfigured hosts that had previously
been direct-connected to the DDN.
The purpose of this bulletin is to advise all concerned that
the 15 December 91 termination date has been extended. The
reason for this decision is simple--there was not enough
time to clear the logjam of users requiring re-registration
processing both at the MILDEP level and at the NIC. The
process of re-registering TAC users who now fall behind
concentrators/gateways had become a difficult and convoluted
problem. However, DISA and the Military Departments have had
several meetings on this issue and have come to agreement on
how to solve the problem long-term. Therefore, once new
registration procedures are implemented and re-registration
is moving smoothly, a new termination date for TAC cards
issued under the "old" deconfigured hosts will be set.
This will probably occur within the next few months and will
be done in conjunction with the annual re-registration
process.
If there are any questions, please contact Major Boyd at
Comm (703) 692-7580 or DSN 222-7580, e-mail to SCC@nic.ddn.mil.
