The Fordham Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a tool that allows users to access specific network resources while off campus or on the public wireless network (FORDHAMRH & FORDHAMLC). The VPN provides a secure connection to Fordham’s network. Once the connection is established, your computer is considered a member of the Fordham campus network. You can then run your applications as you normally would, as securely as if you were on campus.
|
|
Applications currently available via the VPN are email using the Lotus Notes Desktop Client, Library resources requiring Fordham affiliation and certain Administrative Systems - SIS, HRS, FRS.
|
| For VPN service, you will be required to authenticate yourself by using your (web) e-mail user name and password to sign in. The VPN is designed for use with a high speed (broadband) Internet connection. |
|
Please note that any required maintenance of the VPN application and servers will be performed on Tuesdays between the hours of 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. If service is required there may be intermittent outages during these times. This day and these times were selected to minimize the impact on service availability.
