How to Access PDMP via the ADPH Security Portal The purpose of this documentation is to assist users with accessing and utilizing the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) Controlled Substance Database via the ADPH Security Portal. This user guide is specifically written for the following PDMP users: Board Members and State Employees. The ADPH Security Portal can be accessed directly by entering the following URL into the web address bar: https://dph.state.al.us/adphsec/login.aspx Before: https://dph.state.al.us/adphsec/login.aspx The page will redirect to the ADPH Security Portal, and in the process it will generate encryption within the URL. Please note that if you are going to bookmark the ADPH Security Portal or add it to your Favorites, you must first take out the encrypted portion of the URL. To do so, place your cursor in the web address bar just to the left of the L in Login. Now, backspace until you have removed the letter and number combination (encrypted portion of the URL). You can stop backspacing when you reach adphsec/. After: Only the following part of the URL should remain in your web address bar when you add the Security Portal to your Internet Explorer Favorites : https://dph.state.al.us/adphsec/login.aspx Page 3 of 38
How Board Members Create an Account If you do not have an existing account, click the Create an Account link on the ADPH Security Portal Login page, located within the I want to section. You will be directed to the New User Request page. Page 4 of 38
This first page contains six different sections. These are: Select Applications to Request Access, Name, Employment, Supervisor, State Employees, and Username/Password. All of the fields that are highlighted in yellow are the standard required fields. These are the fields that must be completed before the page can be submitted. Page 5 of 38
Begin by placing a checkmark to the left of PDMP Controlled Substance Database within the Select Applications To Request Access section. Once you click the PDMP Controlled Substance Database checkbox, a series of application types will appear. You will need to Choose a PDMP application type that corresponds with your discipline. The Board Member application type will be described in this portion of the document. When you Choose a PDMP application type, a PDMP Privacy Agreement will appear on the Step 1 of the Create An Account page. In order to proceed to Step 2, you must place a check in the box indicating that you have read and agree to the PDMP Privacy & Identity Agreement. Page 6 of 38
Next, all PDMP users must complete the fields located within the Name section. Begin by entering your Professional Title, followed by your First Name and your Last Name. Then, complete the Employment section fields. First, enter your e-mail Address. (It is highly recommended that you add an e-mail address that is not shared, because the System only accepts unique email addresses.) Now, enter your Address, City, State, Zip, Phone Number, and Fax Number. The fields located within the Supervisor section are not required unless they are highlighted. Page 7 of 38
Indicate whether or not you are a State employee in either ADPH or Medicaid. The default value is No. The final section in Step 1 of creating a new Security Portal account is the Username/Password section. First, create a unique username. Your username must be at least 3 and may be no more than 20 characters in length. The system will not accept a duplicate username. If your username is accepted, you will see the following message appear: This username is available! Second, enter a password. The minimum password requirements are listed to the right of the username and password fields. After you have entered your password a word/phrase will appear indicating the strength of the password that you have chosen. Create a password with strength of Strong or Excellent. Next, confirm your password by entering it into the field beneath password. Click the Proceed to Step 2 button at the bottom of the page. Page 8 of 38
Self Service Feature for Board Members The top screen capture in the right column provides an example of a fully completed Self Service section.

A four digit pin number will be sent within 2 minutes to your mobile device. (See the screen capture to the far right center as an example of a PIN Request text message.) Upon receiving that pin number via text, you should enter the pin to validate your mobile number. Then, click the Proceed to Step 3 button. The bottom screen capture in the right column shows an example of only the three Security Questions in the Self Service section as being completed. Here the user has opted out of the Self Service personal e-mail and Text SMS feature. If you choose to opt out of Self Service, please select the check box (in the gray box beneath the Security Questions.) If you choose to opt out, you will be required to call ADPH in the event you cannot access your account. Page 9 of 38
