UCCS Library VPN (Transporter) for Windows Vista
Last Update: 7/30/09
SUMMARY: This document will walk you through the necessary
steps to set up the UCCS Library VPN (Transporter) connection in Windows Vista. The Library
VPN (Transporter) connection is used to access the Kraemer Family Library journal database as
well as other additional resources. While connected to the Library VPN (Transporter), security restrictions will prevent you from
accessing many other resources on the internet - remember to log out of VPN
when you're finished.
Note: Although it's named Library
VPN (Transporter), this configuration is also used for other off-campus resources such as Human
Resources and Financial Systems.
