OIT to Require DUO for VPN Access

OIT to Require DUO for VPN Access

Beginning Monday, Aug. 21, the Office of Information Technology will require DUO two-factor authentication to connect to UA’s virtual private network. This includes UA students, faculty and staff — anyone using VPN.

Users can activate their DUO account by visiting duo.ua.edu. When a user activates DUO, it will be applied to all DUO-enabled systems. This means DUO will be activated not only for VPN access, but also for the user’s myBama access.

By requiring DUO for VPN access, OIT can better secure individual myBama user accounts as well as the entire UA network. Review OIT’s website to see DUO tutorials and answers to frequently asked questions.
