Android: Install and Configure the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client

Follow the steps below to install and configure the software needed for remote access to the Lehigh network. Note that Android screens vary from model to model, so your screens may not match these exactly. 

1.  Go to the Google Play Store and search for Cisco Anyconnect. AnyConnect ICS+ should be the first result. Tap it to start installation.

2.  Tap Install. You may be asked here to complete your store Account information.

3.  If prompted, tap Accept to give AnyConnect permission to access other apps.

4.  The app will begin to install. When it's finished, tap Open.

5.  Click OK at the Supplemental End User License Agreement.

10.  Before entering your username and password, click on the 'AnyConnect' icon, to specify your access 'Group'.

11.  Choose a Group type, either GeneralAccess or Library/International, depending on the type of access you need. See Selecting an Access Method for an explanation of the two types.

12.  If you are a Faculty or Staff member, and enrolled in Two-Factor Authentication, you'll next see the Duo Two-Factor Screen, just as it appears elsewhere.  Click to select your second factor, and respond as prompted.
