\"AnyConnect\"<\/a>If you want to access the secure network while off campus, you can use Cisco AnyConnect. AnyConnect is a Virtual Private Network or VPN that allows you to remotely access the campus’s network. Since the campus’ network infrastructure is protected from internet viruses and worm attacks by a firewall, VPN solution is necessary to gain access to specific campus resources, such as network storage, while maintaining the security of the system for both users and the network. UW-Whitewater enables VPN access using the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Software. VPN securely encrypts data transmissions from your computer to the campus network. A valid campus net-id and password are required to gain access.<\/p>\n

If you use a University owned laptop, AnyConnect should already be installed.<\/p>\n

If you do not have AnyConnect installed follow the steps below:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Go to\u00a0vpn.uww.edu<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Login with your UW-Whitewater Net-ID and password.<\/li>\n
  3. Select the ‘AnyConnect’ item from the menu on the left.<\/li>\n
  4. Click the link to ‘Start AnyConnect’.<\/li>\n
  5. If you have not been through this process, or you do not have the correct version of the Java\u00a0Runtime Environment installed, a pop-up window will appear and direct you to download Java\u00a0Runtime Environment.<\/li>\n
  6. When prompted, install the AnyConnect software.<\/li>\n
  7. When the install is complete, the webpage will refresh to show that you are successfully\u00a0connected.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Accessing most campus enterprise technology services, such as Email, calendar, the UW-Whitewater web site, WINS, and other web-based services does not require the use of the VPN.<\/p>\n

    If you have questions or issues setting up the VPN, please contact the UW-W Helpdesk<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
