Authority To Operate on a Government System needed

Asked by Paul

Hi,

To run software on a Gov system, it has to have an approved Authority to Operate (it's an Info Assurance process...)

For example, Microsoft Office has a DoD ATO that the Army recognizes; versus VLC (VideoLAN player) which is not authorized (and does not have an ATO.)

I can't find the Army IA approval part for your software and would like to use it on a GOV system.

Please advise.

Thank You!
Paul Schwarz

I live in Germany and do not have any idea, what you are talking about.

If it is at all possible for me (with some acceptable effort at no costs), I am willing to try to get this approval.
But you have to give me some pointers.

This is the best info I have found so far:

http://www.prweb.com/releases/usarmy/ato/prweb10394710.htm

I also do not know where or how to get it, I am still researching. I just
know I need it to use SikUli on a Government system.

Ok, after having looked at the post:
I guess you can forget about that.

SikuliX comes with the MIT License, which denies any resposibilities for anything when using it.
... and there are not any SLA's available.

Why do you even need to use sikuli on a military installation? you can just as well test apps on a local PC with the same OS and then deploy on a real system. that's what I am doing

@RaiMan,

Do you know of any third party evaluations? If so, can we have a copy of one in a .pdf format or web link?

@danielh
thanks for the pointers (did not really remember them indeed ;-).

BTW: Eggplant has developed since then and is now TestPlant (http://www.testplant.com)

Can you help with this problem?
