Please Note:  This article assumes that you have installed the KU Anywhere client on your computer and enrolled in Duo.


1. Open the Cisco AnyConnect client.

2. Type 'kuanywhere.ku.edu' in the address field, then click Connect, or just click Connect if kuanywhere.ku.edu is already present



3. Select the group 'DuoAuthentication', then enter your KU Online ID in the 'Username' field, and your KU password in the 'Password' field.

 

Please Note: There are multiple ways to authenticate from this point:  Push, to send a notification to your phone, generating a one-time passcode from the app, SMS, or phone call.

    • Once you click “Approve” the server will signal to the client that you are who you say you are, and you will be granted access.

      Please Note: If you’re experiencing issues receiving the push notification, Open the Duo app or check that the Duo app is allowed to send push notifications in your phone’s settings.
