SafeConnect is a network access and compliance tool that ensures that computers connected to the UMKC network are patched and have protection from malicious software.
SafeConnect must be used by all persons accessing the UMKC network at the residence halls. This includes both wired and wireless network connectivity. All users will be required to login to the SafeConnect webpage before they can access the network.
Additionally, Windows and Macintosh computers must install the SafeConnect Policy Key before accessing the Internet. Before authentication, Internet access will be restricted to web sites that allow you to update your computer with Windows or anti-virus updates.
Android and iOS devices are exempt from the SafeConnect requirement.
To install the SafeConnect Policy Key on Windows or Mac:
You should now have internet access.
The policy key can be uninstalled from the 'Uninstall or change a program' menu located in the control panel.
The policy key can be uninstalled by locating "SafeConnect" in your list of applications. Once located, simply drag the "SafeConnect" icon to your trash.
If your computer becomes out of compliance for any reason, you will begin to see warning pages. The page will tell you why your computer is out of compliance and how to fix it. If you don't correct the issue, your computer will eventually be blocked by SafeConnect and will be denied network access.
Once you've taken action to correct the issue, click the blue 'Check Again' button to see if you are now compliant. If you need further assistance, please contact the IS Technology Support Center.
