Connectivity to Iscte VPN
For access off campus to any of the online resources mentioned you have to install our VPN (Virtual Private Network). This installation has 2 steps:
- Step 1: First of all, you must do a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) which is a method by which a user confirms the identity through two or more pieces of evidence successfully presented. In the case of Iscte, we consider the username and password to be the first authentication factor. The choice of the second factor will be up to the user. We recommend OKTA Verify App.
Visit https://identity.iscte-iul.pt/, confirm your identity at Identity, follow the steps https://siic.iscte-iul.pt/en/mfa-2/ and proceed with the setting up the Okta Verify app on your mobile phone.
- Step 2: Then go to the VPN installation homepage:
