If this is the first time you are trying to connect to the Cisco VPN client, you will need to create a PIN (Personal Identification Number) before logging in for the first time. See Eureka! document 55147 — Set SecurID token PIN via the internet .

The following conditions must be met before you can log in via VPN:

• You must use a PeopleSoft standard machine, with the current standard version of the VPN software loaded (see note below).
  • Note: As of September 30, 2004, Cisco VPN Client version 4.0.4(D) is the standard supported version of VPN client software. If you are on an earlier version, please update your software as soon as possible. See Eureka! document 54102 — How to install the Cisco VPN Client software. To find out what version of the Cisco VPN software you are running, see Eureka! document 55175 — How to tell what version of Cisco VPN software you are using. There are instructions for multiple versions below, but eventually, version 3.x will no longer be able to log onto the network via VPN.
• You must have your RSA SecurID token in your physical possession so that you can read the security code on the token.
• You must have created a PIN (see above) for your token.
• You must have connectivity to the internet.
