Access Instructions to Remote.alliant.edu


​ATTENTION REMOTE-ACCESS USERS:
Remote Access Has Changed! Please Read for More Instructions!
 
Access to remote login has changed and now requires going to a web URL to access from outside the Alliant network. https://connect.alliant.edu:8443/

Please note:

1. Remote can only be accessed from an external network (i.e. home or somewhere other than Alliant). Remote cannot be accessed while your computer is connected to the Alliant network or Alliant Wi-Fi.
2. This solution should only be used with a non-Alliant computer. In other words, if you have an Alliant-issued laptop computer, use the Alliant VPN when outside of Alliant.  

To use this new remote access solution:
1. Go to https://connect.alliant.edu:8443/
Use your Alliant credentials to login.
UPDATE:  Username here is without @alliant.edu

​Please note: This web-based RDP does not support printer redirection. In other words, it will not allow printing pages to your off-site printer. However, CX printing will still function same way.
