What is Automatic VPN Initiation (auto-initiation)?
Auto-Initiation is a Windows-only feature of the Cisco VPN client that provides automatic, secure connections within CAEN Wireless through the U-M VPN server. When auto-initiation is enabled on the Cisco VPN Client, the VPN Client: • Becomes active immediately when a user starts his/her computer, or when the computer becomes active after being on standby or hibernating • Detects that the computer has an IP address defined as requiring auto-initiation • Establishes a VPN tunnel through CAEN Wireless, prompts the user to authenticate, and allows that user network access For details on how to access the auto-initiation settings of the Cisco VPN client, please click here. For more information on auto-initiation, see the Cisco VPN Client Administration Guide on Cisco’s web site.
