Uiowa Cisco Anyconnect
When you are connected to the Cisco AnyConnect VPN, your computer becomes part of the UIHC network and will have access to resources similar to when the computer is on campus. As such, computer usage during VPN connections is governed by UIHC computer usage policies. Please continue to be careful about what web pages. May 08, 2020 The AnyConnect UI only displays up to 200 per IP protocol of the secured or non-secured routes enforced by AnyConnect VPN. In excess of 200 routes, truncation occurs, and you can run either route print on Windows or netstat -rn on Linux or macOS to view all routes. Feb 05, 2020 The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client provides a command line interface (CLI) for users who prefer to enter client commands instead of using the graphical user interface. The following sections describe how to launch the CLI command prompt and the commands available through the CLI.

Popular Tools, Software, and Applications
Find support and documentation for these popular tools used when working remotely:
VPN (Cisco AnyConnect)
Some services, such as accessing your home or shared drive, require VPN. A VPN is a 'virtual private network' that creates a secure connection to the UI network and Cisco AnyConnect is the software used to connect. Find instructions on downloading and configuring Cisco AnyConnect to get started with VPN access. Find more support for VPN (Cisco AnyConnect).
Please note: Two-Step Login is required to complete your VPN login. During login, you will see a “Second Password” field where you need to type “push”, 'phone' or 'sms' to complete your login using your preferred method. Find more information on how to log in to the VPN with Two-Step Login.
Two-Step Login with Duo
Many UI services and webpages, like ICON, HR Self Service, etc., require using Two-Step Login to complete your login. We recommend the Duo Mobile app to complete logins. Find information about Two-Step Login and switching to the app.
Video Conferencing Tools
The university uses Zoom, Skype for Business, and Microsoft Teams for video conferencing. Learn more about using these video conferencing tools for your remote, online meetings.
Using any web browser, access your email by logging in to http://office365.uiowa.edu (use hawkid@uiowa.edu in the username field). Find instructions on how to use Outlook Web Access (OWA) for Office 365.
You can also use the Microsoft Outlook application. Outlook should already be installed on your university-owned machine. If you are using your personal machine, learn how to install Outlook. You can also get Outlook on your phone.
With the larger email quotas provided with Office 365, you may want to move mail from your .pst files (personal folders) to your Office 365 account. This allows you to access all of your email no matter what computer you are using.
Microsoft Office
- If you need Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, etc., you can access these via the web at http://office365.uiowa.edu/
- If you are using a university-owned machine, Microsoft Office products should already be installed. If you are using your personal machine, you can install Microsoft Office using these instructions.
LinkedIn Learning
LinkedIn Learning is an online training library that provides access to thousands of online courses on productivity, web design, graphic design, photography, programming, coding, and more.
Remote Desktop
Remote desktop allows you to log in to your campus computer from another computer off-campus. Most people will NOT need to use remote desktop access. If you do require access to a service that requires remote desktop, read these instructions on how to configure a Windows computer for remote access and instructions on how to use screen sharing to connect to your Mac. Test access from off-campus before you need it. Connect to the VPN first before using Remote Desktop. Find more support for Remote Desktop.
PowerUp
With this tool, you can remotely wake up your work computer from off-campus.

Current Description
A vulnerability in the interprocess communication (IPC) channel of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows could allow an authenticated, local attacker to perform a DLL hijacking attack on an affected device if the VPN Posture (HostScan) Module is installed on the AnyConnect client. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of resources that are loaded by the application at run time. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted IPC message to the AnyConnect process. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected machine with SYSTEM privileges. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker needs valid credentials on the Windows system.
