Q: How do I access the SSL VPN?
A: Enter one of the following URL's in your browser:

https://sslvpn.medical.washington.edu/advanced-windows (Advanced Mode).
Q: What is the difference between Basic and Advanced-Windows?
A: Basic mode gives you a web page where you can browse shares, upload and download
files, and make terminal server connections. Advanced-Windows mode gives you all that Basic does, and

the SSL VPN tunnel - such as Outlook email and mapped drives.

I get the error: "the local policy of the system does not permit interactive login." What is this
error and how do you fix this?
