Installing the One-VA VPN Client
Kemp Cease

As of this writing the One-VA VPN Client is v2.0 and is multiplatform.
This is the Windows version of these instructions. The Macintosh version is here.

• You will use the One-VA VPN Client CD obtained from the ISO.
• The CD will open in your browser and display the first screen. Click on "Install the software."
• Carefully read the next screen. When finished, if you agree, click "OK."
• Click on your Platform.
• Follow the steps on the next screen to install the software. You will need to do Step 1 "Install the One-VA VPN Client software" to get the essential application installed. Step 2 is used only if you are dialing into the VA. Steps 3 and 4 provide firewall and virus protection solutions if you do not already have them. If your computer is behind a rounter or wirless access point used to share an internet connection, you may already have a firewall in place. If you have questions about this you can discuss it with the ISO.
• The succeeding installations are accompanied by detailed instructions with screen shots. The installation is a straightforward wizard-based installation but you should print the instructions so that they are available to you as you proceed through the installation.
• When you complete the installation restart your computer.
• You can now establish a VPN connection by selecting a menu option:

  or by clicking on the application icon, or a shortcut/alias you create:
  

• When presented with the Connection dialog box selct Entry 3 and click "Connect."
  
• You will be challenged with an authenticatin box. Enter your NT Login username,
  password and "vha11" for the Domain.
• You will then receive confirmation that your connection has been established.
• After clicking continue, the VPN client will be running in the background,
  providing the secure connection on top of which a Citrix client-server
  connection can be established. The small icon in the task bar shows that the VPN client is running. You can reopen the interface to the VPN by double clicking this icon or using the menu or icons mentioned above.
  
• Note that while your VPN connection is in place, all internet traffic will go through it. You may find that you cannot get to certain web sites or email servers, etc. When you have finished working with VA applications, close them and then open the One-VA VPN client again and click on the "Disconnect" button (that replaced the "Connect" button) in the upper left corner. The client will shutdown and your internet access will no longer be limited by being routed into the VA network environment.
• Citrix client installation information is here.
