Remote access capabilities are not just limited to employees, contractors, and partners who work away from Durham. Local users also rely on Remote Access when they are at home or traveling. Whenever you are away from a DCRI/Duke facility, you can use your own personal Windows computer to log on to the DCRI network—to access the DCRI Intranet, network drives, internal applications such as Enterprise Project Management (EPM) Time Card, secure SharePoint sites, or your DCRI-issued desktop computer at your work desk—by using a DCRIconnect application (see more at When You Need Remote Access).

The DCRI provides two web-based applications for secure Remote Access to network resources:

• Cisco AnyConnect
• iDCRI, also called Citrix

Both are browser-based applications that require you to log on by entering your NetID and your network password.

	Cisco AnyConnect	iDCRI
Also called:	Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, or Duke Medicine VPN	Citrix
Type of application:	Desktop application	Browser-based web app
