All of the above can happen as a result of your browser not taking you to the correct web address.Typing the (easy to remember) address https://sdhs.medschl.cam.ac.uk into your browser should forward you on to the (real) address https://securemints.medschl.cam.ac.uk./vpn/index.html for you to sign into. The 2 factor authentication system will only accept submissions from this address.

If you are having problems while logging on , check that the address in your browser is https://securemints.medschl.cam.ac.uk./vpn/index.html If you have a bookmark, make sure it points to this address.

Note: This has now been fixed - if a user receives a certificate warning we should be made aware and fix it - we should not be telling users that it is appropriate to bypass certificate warnings.

  • Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Firefox 35
  • Citrix Receiver 4.2.100

Although we have tested the above configuration, we are unable to provide any support.

In OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) a new feature called App Nap was introduced, which enables the computer to save energy when the application is minimised. This pausing of the application causes the Citrix Receiver to disconnect from the server.

To disable App Nap for the Citrix Receiver:

  1. Open Citrix Receiver
  2. Hold down the command key and press I
  3. In the application details window that appears, check the box to 'Prevent App Nap'
