Connecting to G Drive From SU Managed Mac via Jamf Connect

OpenVPN Connect is required for laptops both on and off campus to access the G drive. OpenVPN Connect is preinstalled on SU managed Macs.

If you’re on campus working on a Mac desktop computer - OpenVPN Connect will not be installed and is not needed. Please move to Step 2 below.

 

 

  1. Connect or verify OpenVPN is connected.

    1. The icon on the menu bar should have a green dot informing you it's connected.

    2. If you don't have the icon in the menu bar, find OpenVPN Connect alias in your Macintosh HD/Applications folder and click it to open.
