Accessing WFDSS using e-Authenticate

The WFDSS application is intended for use by the US federal government for managing wildland fires. Only authorized users are allowed to access this application. Authorized users include users with a user email for their federal PIV cards (Lincpass) that match the address in their WFDSS profile.

Starting November 29th, 2023 access to WFDSS is managed through FamAuth; users no longer enter a WFDSS user name and password. Authentication will be completed using either eAuthenticate (for federal users with PIV cards) or Login.gov (any user, federal or non-federal). WFDSS does not use iNAP for access or role management.

Users with PIV cards are prompted to authenticate via Login.gov or eAuthenticate. Whichever option is selected the email associated with the user's WFDSS Profile MUST match the email used by the authenticating system.

Before accessing the application, you need to have a valid WFDSS user profile. Use the Request Access link from either Training or Production access pages to request a new profile.

Existing users can access either WFDSS Training or Production using the following urls.

After authenticating, users are directed to the Wildland Fire Application Portal. The WFDSS Production and WFDSS Training Tiles/Logos are listed along with many other applications. Users can "favorite" the WFDSS application Tiles/Logos by selecting the "plus" symbol, this will move them under the heading "My Applications" and keep them at the top of the Wildland Fire Application Portal screen.

  1. To begin authentication, access either WFDSS Training or Production using the following urls.
  2. After authenticating completes, displays the Wildland Fire Application Portal. The WFDSS Production and WFDSS Training Tiles/Logos are listed along with many other applications.

  3. Select the WFDSS Production or WFDSS Training Tile/Logo to access the appropriate system.

NOTE: New WFDSS Users are informed that a profile does not exist that matches their email and must create a profile by following the steps on the screen to create one.
