Re: VPN deployment breadth (Quick Poll)

Andrew,
 
At SCCC we automatically grant VPN access to all employees.  They get
access to their 'My Documents' folder and any server folders they have
rights to.  Smaller populations within IT have secure access to systems
they administrate.  For instance, those who operate our Tandberg video
conferencing system can remotely access the TAM units from their VPN
connection.
 
As employee status changes (e.g., transfer or separation from SCCC) the
access rights are changed.  We get this information from HR as we do for
all other on campus system access changes.
 
Regards,
 
Doug

Greetings,
 
I am curious about how other institutions are utilizing VPN. 
 
Specifically:
 
1)      Who (faculty, staff, students) can use VPN for remote access to
campus resources?
2)      What percentage of the institutions population have an approved
active VPN account?
3)      How does the institution approve who has VPN access?
a.       If applicable briefly describe your institutions process for
approving remote access for users.  
 
Thanks in advance for your response.
 
Regards,
Andrew Calo
