Use the DUO Mobile App to Connect to Colleague VPN

These instructions cover how to connect to the Colleague VPN using Cisco AnyConnect and how to use DUO Security to complete multi-factor authentication for that connection. The following information outlines the process for iOS devices. For information on other devices, select the appropriate link below:

1.) After launching AnyConnect, enter your Elon email username and password, then type 'push' for the Second Password.

2.) You will receive a login request on your mobile phone or tablet. Open the DUO Mobile App to view the request and tap 'Approve.'

  • If you get a login request you weren't expecting, press Deny to reject the request. You'll be given the ability to report it as fraudulent, or you can tap 'It was a mistake' to deny the request without reporting it.

If you have notifications turned on for your mobile device, you may be able to respond directly from the notification. This WILL NOT WORK if notifications are turned off on your mobile device. You will have to open the DUO Mobile App to approve.

3.) After authenticating, you will be logged into the web application.
