Requirements to print on campus from a managed Mac - Jamf Connect

When on campus and connected to AirOrangeX, OpenVPN Connect must be running with a "Connected" status.

You must be authenticated to Jamf Connect.

If the computer is plugged into the network via an Ethernet cable, OpenVPN Connect icon will have an amber dot indicating you are hard wired to the network and not using AirOrangeX at that time.

Both OpenVPN Connect and Jamf Connect are preinstalled. 

 

  1. Determine if your computer is connected to the campus network with an Ethernet cable or if it's only connected to AirOrangeX wifi.

2. If connected to AirOrangeX, continue to step 3. If connected via Ethernet, move on to step 4.

3. Connect or verify OpenVPN is connected.

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