Key Benefits

  • Access to On-Campus Resources: Securely access unrestricted and restricted resources through a virtual private network (VPN).
  • Access to University Network Security: Encrypts all network traffic and makes it look as if the user is on the University's network, regardless of geographic location.
  • Privacy Protection: Use for added safety and confidentiality for public and private network connections.

Pulse Secure Roles

Pulse Secure Roles are essential when connecting to University resources while on or off campus. Before using PittNet VPN, you must first request a Pulse Secure role through one of these methods:

  1. For unrestricted, on-campus resources, request access to the Default Network Connect Role, contact the Pitt IT Help Desk and then the case will be routed to Pitt IT Security to be processed.
  2. For departmentally restricted, on-campus resources, request access by contacting that department’s Responsibility Center Account Administrators. Responsibility Center Account Administrators work with Pitt IT Security to set up Pulse Secure Roles for their departments.

Note: If you are unsure about which Responsibility Center Account Administrators to contact, contact the Pitt IT Help Desk.

Access Library Resources Via EZProxy

The University of Pittsburgh Library System and the University of Pittsburgh Health Sciences Library System resources are unrestricted, on-campus resources. Unrestricted, off-campus access to these resources is available via EZProxy to any current Pitt students, faculty, and staff. See either www.library.pitt.edu and www.hsls.pitt.edu for more information about this method of access. Any Pulse Secure role may be used to access these library resources, but its use is not necessary.

Requirements

Connections through Pulse Secure Require:

  1. A University of Pittsburgh student, faculty, staff, or sponsored account is required for Pulse Secure connections.
    Note: You must have registered a device for multifactor authentication before you can establish a secure connection. To request a sponsored account, follow these guidelines.
  2. Pulse Secure Roles are required for Pulse Secure Connections.
  3. The Pulse client is required. It can be obtained via the Software Download Service. An app is available from software.pitt.edu, the Apple App Store (iOS), the Google Play store (Android), and the Chrome Webstore.
  4. Pulse Secure establishes a connection from devices to the University's network by first verifying the device as a trusted device. Through such a Health Check, Pulse Secure reviews configuration settings on devices each time it connects. If the requirements are not met, the device's connection through Pulse Secure is denied. To pass the Health Check, devices must meet the following criteria:
  • A supported, up-to-date operating system:
    • Macintosh, Linux, Android, iOS, and Windows Phone automatically pass the Health Check.
    • Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 with Microsoft Automatic Software Update turned on, so you can receive the latest security patches.
  • A supported, up-to-date Anti-Virus Application is required.
    Note: Connections through Pulse Secure cannot be guaranteed if the Operating System is either no longer supported or lacks a supported, up to date Anti-Virus Application.
