VPN (Virtual Private Network) is used to access WUSTL resources when off campus. WUSTL Key password changes, some WUSTL websites, and server access are some of these resources.

  1. To connect to VPN open the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client application in your Dock or access it from Applications -> Cisco -> Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.
  1. The server should be
    for MarComm: danforthvpn.wustl.edu
    for MPA: msvpn.wusm.wustl.edu

    If it is not correct you need to type-in the correct server.
    Click the Connect button.
  1. Enter the following:
    Username: Your WUSTL Key username
    Password: Your WUSTL Key password
    Dou 2FA Method: As stated in the text in the window, type in one of the following:
    push (only works if you have the Duo Mobile application installed on your cell phone)
    phone (this option calls you for authentication)
    sms
  1. If you have successfully connected the icons will change to show a lock symbol (the left icon is in the dock, the right icon is in the menu bar upper right of the screen).

  1. To disconnect from VPN, right click on either icon (dock or menu) and select disconnect. After disconnecting the lock icon will disappear. You can then quit the application.
