Configure Virtual Private Network (VPN)

This article is intended for use by students who need to setup their Macs with VPN.

Requirement:

Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a service that allows you to connect to the Columbia network via an encrypted tunnel. VPN essentially simulates you being on campus without physically being here.

Duo Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Authentication is the process of proving your identity during the login process. Two-factor authentication adds an additional proof of identification. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) layers multiple methods of identification for greater security.

Duo is a tech company that provides identity and access management solutions. Duo's Multifactor authentication (MFA) system is what is currently being used at Columbia University.

Duo MFA can use three methods of identification to validate your UNI identity. Those methods are:

  • Push notifications sent through the Duo mobile device app

  • An automated phone call.

  • One-time use passcodes.

Install the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client

We will use the Push notification method to download and install the Cisco Anyconnect app. Please follow the steps to install the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client on your Mac:

  1. Visit the Columbia VPN portal.
    https://vpn.cc.columbia.edu/
