To improve security, CISCO AnyConnect clients will be disabled from accessing the Office of Research VPN on November 29^th, and the Global Protect VPN client will be needed to access the OR servers. The Global Protect client was installed on OR issued equipment earlier this year.

 Non OR issued and personal equipment will still need to follow the instructions posted at https://orhelp.osu.edu/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/195/4/New-ORVPN-for-PC-or-MAC.

After install, you will be prompted for the server address to connect. The server address is or-gpg.rf.ohio-state.edu.  Next, you will be prompted for your name.# and current OSU password. Once entered, a DUO authentication push will be sent to your phone. Your BuckeyePass account will need to be set up for push notifications to connect. If not, please contact the OR helpdesk for further instructions. After successful authentication, you will have access to the OR network.

 If you need assistance connecting to Global Protect, comments, or concerns, please contact the OR Help Desk at 614.688.8288, https://orhelp.osu.edu/support/, or orhelpdesk@osu.edu

Thanks,

Aaron
