Remote Access to Administrative Systems

Remote Access Using the KSU Cisco VPN (Virtual Private Networks)

To help prevent unauthorized access of sensitive employee and student data, connections to several University administrative systems (see list below) are only permitted from on-campus (by default). However, any employee with a business need may request authorization for off-campus or remote access.

The following services require authorization and the KSU Cisco VPN for off-campus access:

Internet Native Banner (INB)
Cognos Reporting
WebFTP (ICSS)
Document Imaging

Note: Only an approved computer (such as a university-owned laptop) may be used to access these administrative systems from off-campus.

Instructions for requesting authorization: 
The employee and his or her departmental security administrator must complete a Request for Remote Access to Administrative Systems form and submit it TeamDynamix Ticket: 

https://kent.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/2005/Portal/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=51151

Once access has been granted, an e-mail notification will be sent to the departmental security administrator and employee.

KSU Cisco VPN: 
Having been granted authorization, off-campus access is available through use of the KSU Cisco VPN (Virtual Private Network).
