TeamHealth’s new Pulse Secure VPN process will authenticate via Okta and instead of requiring certificates, and utilizes Okta’s second factor login. On initial login, you can setup your second factor using the Okta Verify mobile app (preferred method and, available for iOS, Android and Windows Phone) or SMS (text-message). After the initial setup of the Okta Verify app, upon logging into the VPN (from any computer) you will simply need to tap the ‘Accept’ button from the Okta Verify app notification and the Pulse Secure client will complete your connection.
