As part of our continuing improvements to cybersecurity, we are adding multi-factor authentication to the VPN connections used for remote work (SonicWall Global VPN Client and SonicWall NetExtender).
There are 2 changes to how we will connect now no matter which method you use.
- Enter your email address instead of just your username in the Username field.
- An additional window will pop up to enter the authentication code. This will code will be sent by Microsoft in the same way you access M365 services when off-campus.
Attached are the updated instructions for both GVC and NetExtender.
SonicWall Global VPN Instructions

Enable the connection to start the VPN connection process and wait for the window to Enter Username / Password
