MFA-Duo - Logging into WiscVPN

This document describes how authenticating with Duo works with the WiscVPN (GlobalProtect).

For step-by-step WiscVPN connection instructions, please see the pre-existing documentation provided by Network Services:

Receiving pushes to your Duo device

When sending a push to your Duo device by entering "1" and clicking "Verify" at the following screen, please note that the push will only be sent to the first mobile device listed in the Duo portal. If you would like to change the device the push is sent to, you will need to remove/re-add your devices to re-order it. Please see MFA-Duo - Removing Devices and MFA-Duo - Adding Secondary/Backup Devices for guidance on deleting your primary device and adding a new one in a different order.
