Remote Access to Internet Native Banner (INB)

Because of the sensitive nature of data residing in our systems, Banner may only be reached from off-campus by connecting through multiple "firewalls." That's a technical way of saying that, if you are off-campus, you need a special way to get onto the private part of our network. There are two ways to gain access to Banner from off-campus; through Citrix or by establishing a secure connection to the campus network using Cisco System's VPN Client. The preferred way to access Banner from off-campus is through Citrix.
