Using VPN Enables Same Experience as Working at Your Desk
With so many of us teleworking, it’s a good time to talk about using a virtual private network (VPN) which re-creates the same experience as if you were at your desk or other City site. It’s sometimes referred to as a “tunnel,” which is a good way to think about accessing the City network safely and securely. All computers deployed by our IT department have Cisco AnyConnect VPN installed in them. You’ll need VPN for viewing Corecon, which has crucial information to employees, and other remote work.
How Do I Find and Launch VPN?
To find the VPN client, use the search box in the lower left corner of your screen and type “AnyConnect.” The results display the VPN icon and “Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.” Click to open the VPN client and then click “Connect.” After the log in screen pops up, enter your COR user name and password (make sure the “Group” field shows “Any-web”). Agree to the acceptable use policy and you are on the City network.
Mobile Devices
If your mobile device is enrolled in Mobile Device Management (MDM) you can access our secure network through the MDM “web” icon, which delivers you to Corecon and then access to PeopleSoft. If you have a City-issued phone or receive a stipend, your phone should be enrolled in MDM. Look for the “Web” app icon on your phone to access Corecon from your enrolled mobile device.
