IMPORTANT:  Staff/Faculty need their Manager's approval and business reason to have access to use Forticlient VPN.   Once we get the emailed approval, IT adds them to the group membership "USJ - 2FA SSL VPN"

Follow these steps to configure FortiClient to connect to USJ's VPN:

1. Launch FortiClient.

3. Click "Configure VPN"

5. Uncheck Save Password.

 

The configuration of FortiClient is now complete. To use the client, connect to an off campus WiFi network and click the Connect button.  You will be guided through the Microsoft login & MFA steps by the application. To close your VPN connection, click Disconnect.
