MONITORING 10 months ago - at 06/17/2025 03:10PM

The Security Operations Center failed over the VPN cluster to make the appliance in North Hall the active one. Services appear to be restored, but we will continue monitoring the situation and provide updates as necessary. Although low probability, if you get an error message indicating that the “authentication was rejected by the server", please try connecting once again.
Again, thank you for your support. Please contact the ITS Service Desk if you continue experiencing problems with VPN - (805) 893-5000 or X5000.
