VPN Connection
PC's
In order to be able to use a VPN connection, you must have the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client downloaded on your UCM-owned machine. If you do not already have this software on your computer, you will need to request this software through our Service Catalog or by calling or email the Technology Support Center at 660.543.4357/tsc@ucmo.edu. A work order will be created for the software to be added to your device.
After the Cisco Mobility Client is installed on your computer, you can navigate to the application by selecting it from your tray on the taskbar or searching for it in your applications or on the search bar. (For Mac users, it is available in self service.) At the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client dialog box you will need to type in vpn.ucmo.edu for the connection. At the prompt, enter your Network ID and password (the same ones used to login into campus computers).
Personally Owned PC’s
Faculty or Staff members can navigate to vpn.ucmo.edu to download and install this client (note: this link will fail if you are on campus). On this page, login with your Network ID and password (the same ones used to login into campus computers). Options for downloading the VPN client will appear. At the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client dialog box you will need to type in vpn.ucmo.edu for the connection.
NOTE: The VPN connection is behind Single Sign-on and also requires Multi-factor authentication (MFA) through DUO. In order to use VPN, you will need to be a member of the VPN users group and use the DUO MFA verification process when signing in.
NOTE: You will only have to download the client once. After you have downloaded the Cisco AnyConnect Client, it will be available on your machine for future sessions.
NOTE: To map a network drive using a non-UCM owned machine while connected via VPN follow the steps above for "mapping network drive". After choosing "finish" you will be prompted to enter your network credentials. You MUST use this format in the Network ID field: UCMO\jdoe and your network password.
Remote Desktop Connection
RDP as a way to remotely control and use an in-office computer from a distance. A Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) session establishes a connection allowing an external computer to control a UCM computer. The work done during an RDP session is actually occurring on the in-office computer.
Requests for RDP permissions are evaluated by the Information Security Team on a case-by-case basis.
