VPN Guide for CWS/CMS Application Remote Access

Intended Audience

This guide is intended to assist users in establishing a remote VPN connection to the CWS/CMS application. Typical use scenarios include Dedicated County off-site and emergency responder staff needing to access the application while not directly connected to the CWS/CMS Local Area Network.

Assumptions

This guide assumes the following:

• An internet connection has already been established.
• The Cisco AnyConnect Client has previously been installed and configured by the CWS/CMS county workstation/laptop administrator.

Step 1: Establishing a VPN Connection Using Cisco AnyConnect

Start the AnyConnect client by clicking start à programs à Cisco à Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. If a shortcut is desired, simply drag and drop the “Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client” icon to the desktop.

Type the URL address of the remote access VPN host and click “Connect”: brdcvpnb.net.ca.gov/ra/all

You will be prompted for user credentials. Enter your user name and password and click “OK”.
User IDs contain a capitalized “CWV” at the beginning. All other characters are lower case

When successfully connected the following icon displaying a locked lock will be visible in the Windows System Tray

Step 2: Running DLOGON to Start the CWS/CMS Application.

Double click the “Run DLOGON” icon on the Windows desktop. The process will start with the “CWS/CMS Remote Access” box appearing as shown below. Click “Yes”.

After a short period, usually less than a minute (depending on connection speed), the logon prompt shown below appears and the user logs on with his/her credentials

Important Note: VPN service is not meant to be a permanent connection. While connected and working in the CWS/CMS Application, users should save to database often. This prevents Optimistic Concurrency and helps to keep costs down. When not working in the CWS/CMS Application or accessing email, Users should log off their VPN connection by right clicking on the tray icon and selecting “Quit” or “Disconnect” to disconnect the session.

VPN service uses the Public Internet and as such is NOT a guaranteed service medium. This means the connection could drop at peak usage periods. If while working in the CWS/CMS Application, the VPN connection is dropped, Users do NOT have to close the Application. They should simply log back into the CWS/CMS VPN Portal web page and continue working as needed
