How do I connect to GlobalProtect via the client?

Overview

MSU Denver ITS provides GlobalProtect as a remote access solution in circumstances where a student or employee needs to access campus resources from an off-campus location. You can install the GlobalProtect client on managed MSU Denver computers from Software Center (Windows) or Self Service (Mac). Please see the Software Center/Self Service article for more information on installing software on a managed computer.

Before you will be able to connect to GlobalProtect, you will need access granted to you. You can request access to GlobalProtect here.
