Network/VPN/macOS

Please note that this tutorial assumes you already have a network connection established. Authentication is handled via the Windows domain. If you have an account in the PC Active Directory you already have access.

The UMIACS VPN is accessible through the Junos Pulse Client. Alternatively, you can establish a connection through a web browser.
