Connected message for GlobalProtect

NOTE:  Health Link users - If after connecting to the VPN (via GlobalProtect) you are not able to load web pages (no internet traffic) then likely your computer has not been fully enrolled in Workspace ONE.  There can be a delay before all the pieces (from Workspace ONE) are in place, and ready for the Citrix login.  Please be patient.
