Download and configure the new UCSD Virtual Private Network (VPN) AnyConnect client on your Windows XP/ Vista/ Windows 7 machine for a conventional installation.

In the right place? If you only need to access common campus Web sites or remote desktop computing, use the VPN EasyConnect option. See instructions in Virtual Private Networks at UCSD.

Notes:

  • You must log into your computer with administrator rights.
  • You need your Active Directory (AD) username and password. If you don't remember your AD username or password, you can either reset it at https://adweb.ucsd.edu/adpass/ or contact your department's systems administrator.
  • ACT is testing the support of SBL (Start Before Login) on Windows-based machines.
