The IT department requires all users to review and agree to our VPN Agreement before they gain access. If you have not already, start the access request process by reviewing the VPN Agreement and Access article.



If you need the Global Protect Client installed on a Sage issued laptop, please contact the Service Center.

Here's how it's done

The following setup instructions must be completed when you are off-campus. It will not work on-campus.

Once installed, a new application called GlobalProtect will appear on your device. Additionally, the following icon will appear on your task/status bar located on the bottom right of your screen. The greyed out globe indicates that you are not yet connected to the VPN service.

 

Launch the GlobalProtect VPN Client

Double-click the application to start it. You will be prompted to enter some additional information in order to connect to the VPN service.

Click “Get Started” in the VPN client window.

 

  • Enter in vpn-t.sage.edu as the portal address.

  • Enter in your Sage username (without the @sage.edu) and password

  • Hit Connect.

The client will attempt to connect to the VPN service using the credentials you entered in. If the client fails to connect, please check that your credentials are accurate and that your account has been approved for VPN access. If successful, the GlobalProtect icon will display a shield in place of the red X.
