Using Pulse Secure on Mac
This guide is intended for staff who wish to access the Press network from home or any other location outside of the Press offices. These instructions will help you to connect from a Mac whether it is a personal computer or one issued by the Press. If you prefer video instructions, please click here.
Who is this document for?
If you remote into a computer in the Press building, this document is for you. If you access anything on the Press network from your home computer or a Press-issued laptop, including a shared drive or an application such as AllBooks or BookMaster, this document is for you.
How is this different from the way in which I previously connected?
Previously, you accessed the Press network using tools from Citrix. These have been replaced by two new tools:
- Pulse Secure to connect to the Press network, and
- Remote Desktop to remote into a workstation in the office.
Please note before Continuing:
- You must have Pulse Secure installed on the computer in front of you (not a workstation in the Press office). Please follow these instructions if you have not already installed Pulse Secure.
- If you are connected to any other VPN or Citrix remote desktop session, you must disconnect before continuing.
Step 1: Open the Pulse Secure Application and click vpn.jh.edu then Connect. If you don't see the Pulse Secure icon here, you can find it in your Applications Folder:
Step 2: Click the Proceed button.
Step 3: If prompted, enter your JHEDID and password, then click the Sign In button
Step 4: If prompted for Multi Factor Authentication, use your mobile phone to click Approve in the Authenticator app.
The green arrow indicates that you are now connected to the Press network via Pulse Secure:
If you do not remote into a workstation in the Press office, you can stop here and begin working as you did previously. If you need to remote into a workstation in the office, let’s continue.
