Faculty and Staff may request a VPN account through their supervisor. VPN only allows the Faculty/Staff to Remote Desktop into their office PC on Faculty/Staff VLAN only. By using RDP only, we can limit the spread of malicious code. In addition, the end users have the same experience they would, if they were sitting at their office. We limit the concurrent VPN sessions to avoid and/or detect account sharing as well as set a mandatory connection timeout. IT staff rules are a bit more lax and allow ssh into network equipment as well as other types of access for troubleshooting issues that could arise when individual office machines are down. We also offer SSL VPN. For Faculty/Staff we provide a portal with a Java RDP client. IT Staff can take advantage of the SSL client which provides wider connectivity options. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Todd Bossaller Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 7:59 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Remote Access Policies Does anyone have any policies or rules they would be willing to share for remote access (VPN) to their instituion?
