Cisco Clean
Access (CCA)Network Authentication & Validation
A
network authentication and validation security system is in place
to prevent “infected” computer systems such as laptops or desktops
from gaining access to the network and infecting other systems. This
will ensure a safe, secure and reliable network for all.
Anyone using a wired connection or any Campus Wireless connection,
will need to authenticate to the network. Authentication is the
process of verifying your
access to the network by confirming your username and password and associating
it with your computer.
Authentication
to the Network
Enter
your username and password to logon to the network. Faculty
and staff users will be given automatic access. Students will
then need to validate their personal computers before being gives
access.
If
you do not have your username and password, please contact the Help
Desk at 995-2697.
Click
here to see what students can do to prepare their computer
before arriving on campus.
Download the Clean Access
Agent (only for the
first time)
Once
your username and password have been authenticated, you will be
prompted to download and install the Clean Access Agent.
After
the installation is completed, a Clean Access Agent icon will appear
in your system tray. If the Clean Access Agent fails to install,
please see the Troubleshooting section or contact your Help
Desk at 995-2697.
* Note: Older Windows systems (2000,
NT, ME, 98, 95 & 3.1)
will not be able to access the network or the internet. |
Updating
To
logon (or logoff) to the network, right click on the Clean
Access Agent icon.
The Clean Access Agent will automatically validate your system configurations
to ensure that you have current operating system patches and other
security updates.
If the validation is successful, you will be logged
onto the network.
If
the validation is not successful, you will be directed to a
remediation site such as Windows Updates. You need to update your
system or security
files at that time. Depending on the security updates,
you may need
to reboot your computer several times.
