If you need to move files back and forth between your computer and the DM server, than this guide is for you!
NOTE: If you are accessing the Server in ACW102, skip Steps 1 – 4.
NOTE: If you are not on York University Campus, you must first install Pulse VPN on your computer and the Duo App on your mobile device. Once installed you must connect to Pulse VPN, authenticate your session using the Duo App, and then connect to the server.
Step 1: Install Pulse VPN
Windows: Instructions for downloading and installing on Windows: http://staff.computing.yorku.ca/internet-access/secure-remote-access/setup-instructions-for-windows-32-and-64-bit/
Mac: Instructions for downloading and installing on Mac: http://staff.computing.yorku.ca/internet-access/secure-remote-access/junos-pulse-setup-instructions-for-mac-osx/
Step 2: Connect to Pulse VPN
When Pulse VPN asks for username and password, enter your Passport York username and password. Select Save Settings button. Click on the Connect button
Step 3: 2Factor Authentication
Pulse VPN requires two-factor authentication, Duo 2FA. Download the Duo App and setup on your mobile device. Instructions found here: https://infosec.yorku.ca/services/two-factor-authentication/#squelch-taas-tab-content-0-1
Open the Duo App on your mobile device to authenticate Pulse Secure VPN session. Click on the Green banner, shown below.
Step 4: Pulse VPN Connection
If you’ve successfully connected to an SSLVPN session, your window should look like the image below, showing a green checkmark.
* IMPORTANT: Pulse Secure will not prompt you to authenticate your session on the Duo App (show in Step 3). You must manually authenticate your session in the Duo App (Step 3), and then Pulse Secure will create a secure connection.
