Connecting to GlobalProtect

Using openconnect

Open a terminal, and type:

sudo openconnect --protocol=gp gp.rose-hulman.edu

When the following appears:

RHIT EMAIL ADDRESS:

type in your Rose-Hulman email address and press ENTER.

Right after this, type in your network password, then press ENTER.

Now, try going to mirror.csse.rose-hulman.edu in a web browser. If you see something there, you are connected. If you get a server error or something similar, you are not.

Alternatively, if you prefer the command line, type ping mirror.csse.rose-hulman.edu and see if there is a response from the server - if you are connected, it should say PING from (ip address): 20ms or similar.

To disconnect, press the Control and C keys at the same time in the terminal. Wait until you see your normal shell prompt such as: username@hostname:directory$ (source: https://www.howtogeek.com/307701/how-to-customize-and-colorize-your-bash-prompt/).

Using the GlobalProtect GUI

In a web browser, go to https://rose-hulman.microsoftcrmportals.com/knowledgebase/article/KA-01278/en-us.

Press Ctrl+F and type in "Setting up the client on Linux".

Read and follow the instructions below "Setting up the client on Linux". You will need to download the Word document which opens fine in LibreOffice Writer or the OnlyOffice Desktop Editors.
