How to map network drives of the Windows central file servers when connected to the VPN?
...
Stanford university is using different VPN protocols and technologies, so the SLAC VPN client can't be used to connect to Stanford through VPN. But when connected to SLAC VPN you can reach Stanford ressources as if you were in your office at SLAC.
If you are a SLAC employee/user willing to access SLAC ressources you should use SLAC VPN, if you are a Stanford university employee/student you should use the Stanford VPN client provided on http://itservices.stanford.edu/service/vpn.
Problems with VPN client for Mac OSX10.9 Maverick
A subset of people running Maverick is experiencing VPN connections being dropped every minute.
This bug was acknowledged and a special version fixing it is available to Mac users at: V:\SCS\ITDS\Apple\anyconnect-macosx-i386-3.1.04074-k9.dmg (windows share) or at /u/sf/gcx/vpn/anyconnect-macosx-i386-3.1.04074-k9.dmg (AFS).
Only affected people should use it as it is not yet considered production ready. We are still waiting a more stable release to have it automatically pushed by the VPN gateways for everybody. This was expected beginning of December, but will more likely be beginning of next year as we do not want to do changes on VPN around end of year holidays.
