Remote access for UNIL students

Most of the electronic resources offered by the Medical library are only available within the UNIL network. However, a VPN (Virtual Private Network) client, called Pulse Secure, allows you to connect your own computer or cell phone to it and use the resources remotely.

To install the client :

  • Go to the Crypto platform: https://crypto.unil.ch then log in with your UNIL credentials.
  • Click the “Démarrer” button next to the Pulse Secure icon.
  • Then download the application launcher and follow the installation steps.

Once the software is correctly installed, the Pulse Secure client icon in the Taskbar allows you to start a connection. It is no longer necessary to use the Crypto platform.

Detailed documentation is available on the UNIL Helpdesk website https://www.unil.ch/ci/reseau-unil-chez-soi (French). You will also find there the contact information of the UNIL Helpdesk if you encounter difficulties during the installation.
