VPN Usage Instructions

Visit the IIa VPN Site

Enter http://secure.infointl.com into your browser's address bar to begin access to the IIa VPN.
After entering in the URL and upon initial access to the page, a file will be loaded onto the computer that will check to see whether it is an IIa issued computer, or a Non-IIa computer. 


This will determine whether you have access to the Network Connect application for creating VPN tunnels.
If it is successful in determining this, then you will see the Realm drop down box where you can choose between Users, which gives you the Network Connect option, or Non-IIa Computer realm which emulates the access you have on a home computer. 



Upon coming to this page, you will need to put in your IIa username as well as your IIa password. This is just your username and has no need for @infointl.com or @iiaweb.com.
