Installing the Cisco VPN Client on a Windows System

To connect to the CSIT VMWare cluster and other CSIT resources, you will need to install a VPN client.   If your computer is a Windows computer, the following steps can be used to install the software. 

The VPN server does have a login page that is supposed to automatically detect your operating system and install the correct software, but it requires both ActiveX and Java to work.  Instead, we are recommending installing the software “manually” using the steps below.

Download the installer for Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client:   https://71.255.157.186/CACHE/stc/1/binaries/anyconnect-win-3.1.13015-web-deploy-k9.exe   or  https://vpn.doublemega.com/CACHE/stc/1/binaries/anyconnect-win-3.1.13015-web-deploy-k9.exe

(Both of them go to the same location).  You will get a warning about an invalid (security) certificate.   Allow you browser to download the file anyways.

Once downloaded, launch (double-click on) the executable.   You should get a screen that reads “Welcome to Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Setup Wizard

  1. Click “Next” to continue.
  2. Read and accept the EULA, and then click “Next” to continue.

Installing the Cisco VPN Client on a Windows System

  1. Press “Install” to continue.   You may need to Windows that it is ok for the program to be ran with administrative access.
  2. Complete the install by pressing “Finish”

You are now set, and you should not need to re-install the software.

  1. Follow the instructions on “Using the CSIT VPN connection” to connect to campus.
