Library
VPN (Transporter) for Windows XP
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 XP (SP3). The
Library VPN (Transporter) connection is used to access the Kraemer Family Library journal database
as well as other additional resources. When connected to this VPN server, the security restricts you from many other
resources - 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.
