Network/VPN/MFA

This page outlines the steps required to enable Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) for the Pulse Secure VPN.

Enabling MFA Authentication

1. Visit https://vpn.umiacs.umd.edu/mfa and login and complete the DUO setup for your account.
2. In your Pulse Secure Client create a new profile specifying https://vpn.umiacs.umd.edu/mfa as the URL.
3. Enter your UMIACS credentials for the first authentication box.
4. When the second authentication box comes up, type `push` into the password field and hit enter. You should then receive a push to complete authentication.

Pro-tip: Select ‘Save Settings’ on the secondary authentication prompt to have Duo automatically send you a push.
