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.

Connecting through the Junos Pulse client

  1. Download the client:
    Windows 64 bit Junos Pulse Client
    Windows 32 bit Junos Pulse Client
    Upon starting the client for the first time it will 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
