Osu Cisco Anyconnect
If off campus or otherwise not connected to the OSU network connect through VPN. To use the VPN: Log into with your OKEY credentials. Install the Cisco AnyConnect client. Open AnyConnect client and connect to osuvpn.okstate.edu. Once logged into AnyConnect and VPN connection established access to the cloud available. Virtual Private Networking (VPN) gives the user a secure connection to the OSU network along with an on-campus IP address. Once the connection is established, the user will be connected to the OSU network through an encrypted tunnel. OSU provides the Cisco AnyConnect for Apple Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, and Linux operating systems from the website For mobile devices, download the Cisco AnyConnect app from your device’s app store. You must have active O-Key credentials and be an active OSU employee or current OSU student.
To improve security, CISCO AnyConnect clients will be disabled from accessing the Office of Research VPN on November 29th, and the Global Protect VPN client will be needed to access the OR servers. The Global Protect client was installed on OR issued equipment earlier this year.
Non OR issued and personal equipment will still need to follow the instructions posted at https://orhelp.osu.edu/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/195/4/New-ORVPN-for-PC-or-MAC.
After install, you will be prompted for the server address to connect. The server address is or-gpg.rf.ohio-state.edu. Next, you will be prompted for your name.# and current OSU password. Once entered, a DUO authentication push will be sent to your phone. Your BuckeyePass account will need to be set up for push notifications to connect. If not, please contact the OR helpdesk for further instructions. After successful authentication, you will have access to the OR network.
If you need assistance connecting to Global Protect, comments, or concerns, please contact the OR Help Desk at 614.688.8288, https://orhelp.osu.edu/support/, or orhelpdesk@osu.edu
