Introduction 

DLA Enterprise External Business Portal (Portal) provides users outside of the DLA network with a 

single point of access to DLA business applications. This highly secure, web-enabled interface will 

provide single sign‐on capabilities once customers and business partners (external users) are 

authenticated via a username and password or a DoD issued Common Access Card (CAC). The Portal 

eliminates the need for multiple login sessions, accounts for accessing DLA applications, and provides 

DLA external business partners with the following: 

a. A web-enabled access point to DLA business applications

b. An improved user experience through single sign-on to multiple DLA applications

c. A simplified account set-up and maintenance process 

The Purpose of this job aid is to provide DLA external business partners with information on how to: 

a. Access DLA applications through the Portal

b. Login to DLA applications through the Portal

c. Create new user accounts for DLA applications that are located within the Portal

d. Get user support for the Portal

The Audience for this job aid includes: 

a. Demand Planning (DDE/Collab), DLA Disposition Services, Installation Support (Real 

Property), Engineering Support Activities (PDMI/ESA), Energy Commodity Support

external users

b. DLA personnel who work with these external users (i.e.: Product Data Specialists, Product 

Specialists, Demand Planners, and EBS Business Process Analysts)

Some sections within this job aid are broken down by the following user types: 

 CAC Users – Federal Agency Users/Contractors using a DoD issued Common Access Card 

(CAC)

 Non-CAC Users – Public or Federal Agency Users/Contractors without a DoD issued Common 

Access Card (CAC)

 Real Property SCP Users – Installation Support (Real Property) Service Control Point (SCP) 

users 

 Real Property Non-SCP CAC Users – Installation Support (Real Property) Federal Agency 

Users/Contractors that are NOT Service Control Points (SCPs) using a DoD issued Common 

Access Card (CAC)

Internet Explorer 11 Compatibility Settings

Accessing IE11 Compatibility View

The DLA EEBP does not support Internet Explorer Version 11 (IE11) in “native mode” (the default 

view). To use EEBP with IE11, “Compatibility View (Enterprise Mode)” must be used. By enabling 

Compatibility View, IE11 is able to mimic IE8 that is currently supported.

Below are:

 Instructions on how to turn on IE11 Compatibility View

 Explanation of look and feel changes in the EEBP when using IE11 via Compatibility 

View

I. Instructions on how to turn on IE11 Compatibility View

a. Open the Internet Explorer 11 web browser

b. Click on the gear icon in the top right corner and select “Compatibility View 

settings”
