ISC, RIKEN

Introduction

• Many services (such as Slack and Box) that require Okta or Shibboleth login authentication do not require a VPN and can be accessed from outside locations like your home.
• Using a VPN when accessing services only available from RIKEN’s network allows you to securely connect to the institute’s internal network from home, on the go, or other external networks.
• We use the type of VPN referred to as SSL-VPN.

Precautions and Conditions of Use

• When accessing online journals/database provided by the RIKEN Library via VPN, please use the   Library Proxy Service together with our VPN service.
• You may not be able to access some services and servers.
• Taking or exporting VPN connection software out Japan to some countries is prohibited.
• Networks of some research institutions, universities and companies (such as BNL and Doshisha University) use a proxy server to connect to the Internet. You may not be able to use our VPN service from such organizations.
• We do not guarantee that the service will continue to be available in the future.
