Remote User Access to Systems

  Note: installing Jinitiator locally and copying the certificate to the required Oracle folder will not grant you remote access to Banner 7 if you have not been granted remote access permission.  It is also necessary when connecting from remote locations to install the VPN software.

To view the requirements for VPN access please read the Remote Access Policy before requesting Remote Access.

Once a user has obtained:
 permissions to remotely access Banner Forms and Reports
 has installed the VPN client
they need to perform the following:

INSTALL THE BANNER 7 SECURITY CERTIFICATE  (use IE browser)
Click on the following link certdb.txt or mouse right click/highlight the file,  and save the certificate file to the following location on your PC:
    C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.18\lib\security

Close ALL connections to IE browser connections

INSTALL Jinitiator (use IE browser)
Click on this link to access INB:  https://inb.wwu.edu/ (new Jinitiator will install. This will take 5+ minutes depending on your line speed)
