In the authentication prompt, type in your UCLA Logon ID and password in the appropriate fields, then click “OK” and accept the MFA request on your device. Please note that Cisco currently only supports the use of up to a 127 character password. If you have a 128 character password you will need to change your password to meet that requirement before you can login. Your password can be updated via our Accounts Management website.
Approve your login attempt using Duo MFA. Note that there will not be any on screen prompt indicating that the VPN is waiting for you to respond to a push notification, phone call, or input a passcode. For more information on how Duo MFA works with the VPN please see: Authenticating Using Multi-Factor Authentication on the Campus VPN
