by Sue Brownawell

To access any of the DSA GitLab servers you need to either be on the university network or connect via VPN. To download and install the university’s AnyConnect VPN client:

  1. Go to https://anyconnect.missouri.edu.
  2. Click on Login.
  3. Sign in with your username@umsystem.edu and password.
  4. If you see a popup asking to Please Disconnect click Continue.
  5. Click on the download button for Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.
  6. Once the download finishes, open the file and proceed through the installation process.
  7. When the installation is finished, open the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.
  8. In the address bar popup window (the one with the button that says “Connect”) type in vpn.missouri.edu.
  9. Click Connect.
  10. You should see another popup windows where you will sign in with your username@umsystem.eduand password.
  11. On the first connection, it may run an update. If the icon in your system tray shows the icon with a padlock on it, then you are connected to the VPN. (Click on the up arrow in the task bar if necessary to view the icon.)

Contact DOIT if you need support installing or running the VPN.
