Remote Access to the UCI Libraries Online Resources

VPN software download and configuration

 

To access UCI Libraries online resources from home or outside of UCI, you must first download the VPN software and configure it.  Here are a few tips that you must know when logging in to the VPN.

  1. UCI has several VPN addresses. vpn.uci.edu is the Connection address that will enable you to have full access to all the UCI Libraries’ restricted online resources remotely.
  2. After you enter your username, you will be prompted for DUO Authentication.
  3. Before entering your UCInetID login, you must first select UCIFULL from the “Group menu”, which may be hidden behind the DUO window.
  4. Move the DUO window out of the way or shrink it down until you can see the Group menu and select UCIFULL in the pull-down (see image below). 
  5. After the selection is made, return to the DUO window.
  6. Enter your UCInetID and password and click Login. 
  7. Approved the DUO authentication on your phone.  After you authorize the login, go back to the VPN and click on Connect and Accept.
