SSO Required for VPN
New Process Begins Sunday, May 5
ECU’s virtual private network (VPN) is an encrypted virtual tunnel between off-campus devices and on-campus information. Connecting to ECU through remoteaccess.ecu.edu prevents unauthorized persons from accessing data traveling between your computer and ECU’s network.
Enabling SSO for remoteaccess.ecu.edu only slightly changes the login process.
What does this new process look like?
Most of the login process remains the same. First, open the Cisco Secure Client app, check that the VPN URL is correct and click Connect.
The SSO Sign in page opens. Type in your ECU email address. Click Next.
Type in your ECU password. Click Sign in.
Verify through your account authentication process, then agree to the Acceptable Use Policy.

Note: Users can only connect to resources for which they already have access.
