Reserve Access Portal (RAP): is it a functional workaround for access issues? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/reserve-access-portal-rap-is-it-a-functional-workaround-for-access-issues <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Reserve Access Portal (RAP) is a VPN session using Citrix Client to let an Army Reserve member access the ARNet from a personal, CAC-enabled computer. I accidentally found out about it a few years back while browsing the MilitaryCAC website, and was surprised how I had never heard of it before. I haven&#39;t been able to find anything publicly advertised on Army Reserve sites, HRC, or AKO. Everyone I ask about it seems to have never heard of it. There are some dependencies to access the session: 1. must have CAC-enabled on computer, 2. must have an ARNet account, 3. seems to only work reliably on Internet Explorer 11 or earlier. Number 2 above is problematic because the hoops one has to jump through just to get an ARNet account, and you have to already be on an existing ARNet connection to submit a request through the ARAMP application. However, once that is done, I&#39;ve found it to be pretty useful being geographically distant from my unit. All those .mil websites you couldn&#39;t access from home anymore (ATRRS, MEDPROS, etc) are now accessible. Also it helps to keep my ARNet account active when I log in from home, making sure that I don&#39;t have to call HelpDesk every BTA to have my account reactivated.<br /><br />What is your experience if you have used it? If you haven&#39;t heard of it, how do you think this could help you better prepare for duty?
