"Login Failure"

Campus Staff and Other University 2-factor VPNs

Campus Staff VPN:

Login authorization requirements: Single Sign-On credentials only

If you are connecting to the Campus VPN service, using the Cisco Any Connect Secure Mobility Client, your connection should be campusvpn.warwick.ac.uk/staff

The “Login failed” error message appears when you have entered an invalid username or password combination.

Make sure you enter your single sign-on (SSO) username and password credentials correctly.

Note: the “Login failed error message window/s will keep appearing if you continually enter your SSO credentials incorrectly.

Campus VPN Login:

Using Web browser connection URL: https://campusvpn.warwick.ac.uk/staff

Unsuccessful SSO credentials entered: “Login failed”

Campus VPN Web Login Failed message

Using Cisco AnyConnect client connection: campusvpn.warwick.ac.uk/staff

When connecting via the Cisco AnyConnect client, make sure that campusvpn.warwick.ac.uk is the connection you are connecting to, and displayed in the 'Connect' box. If you continually get the “Login failed” error message, first ensure you are entering your correct SSO credentials. If still failing, you may need to change/reset your password.

Other University 2-factor VPNs:

Login Authorization requirements: Single Sign-On credentials + 2-factor Token Key-Fob code or One Time Password (OTP)

If you are connecting to a 2-factor VPN service, your connection should be campusvpn.warwick.ac.uk/name.

E.g. campusvpn.warwick.ac.uk/its = the 2-factor VPN service for IT Services staff only.

Note:

  • You will only see the 2-factor login prompt window if you have entered your SSO credentials correctly
  • After entering your OTP Token code, you are still unable to connect; you may need your Token Key-fob resynchronized with the FortiAuthenticator 2-factor system. Contact the Service Desk to resynchronize your 2-factor Token.
