The UMIACS VPN is accessible through the Ivanti Connect Secure Client. Alternatively, you can establish a connection through a web browser, but this may fail if you have an outdated version of Ivanti Secure already installed.

NOTE: If your computer has an ARM-based processor, you will need a different installer than the standard Windows one. Please refer to the instructions below.

    Upon starting the client for the first time it may ask to upgrade the client. This will pull an up to date version of the client with the most recent configuration.
  2. Start the client if it is not already running - it usually starts by default on bootup.
    [Windows] Start the client from the Start Menu.
  3. If the client is already running, double click its icon from the status bar.
    [Windows] Double click its status icon to open.
  4. and click 'Add' (+) under the connection section.
    [Windows] Click the 'Add' (+) button to create a new connection.

Pro-tip: Select ‘Save Settings’ on the secondary authentication prompt to have Duo automatically use your preferred method.

You should now be connected to the UMIACS VPN.

Please note, 32-bit clients are no longer supported by Ivanti!

Connecting through the Ivanti Secure client (ARM processors)

ARM processors cannot natively run x64 or x86 programs without special emulation. However, not all x86 programs run smoothly even with emulation. As such, the best course of action for these sorts of machines is using the version of Pulse Secure that is specifically made for ARM processors.

  1. Download the client:
    Windows 64 bit ARM Pulse Secure Client
    Upon starting the client for the first time it may ask to upgrade the client. This will pull an up to date version of the client with the most recent configuration.
  2. Follow all post-download steps in the above section.

Checking VPN Status

  1. In the bottom right hand corner, in your status bar, you should see an S icon. If there's a green arrow, that means you are connected! If there is nothing, that means you are not.
