Connecting to the Remote Data Analysis Server

Note: if you are not on the University of Iowa campus, you need to use Cisco AnyConnect to connect to the UI virtual private network.

  1. Open Remote Desktop Connection (Start>All Programs>Accessories>Remote Desktop Client)
  2. Use the following address for the 'Computer' field: isrc-data-1.iowa.uiowa.edu


  3. When prompted for your credentials, select 'Use another account' if the account name shown is not in the format of 'iowayourHawkID'

    If the username is 'IOWAyourHawkID', you can log in

    Type the name of the remote computer you want to use, select the screen size for your connection, and then click Connect. When the connection page opens, you can add it to your Favorites for easy connection to the same computer. Mstsc meaning. S Virtualization and remote desktops are an important part of your infrastructure and work. And, we recommend that you use in-box remote desktop client (MSTSC) or universal Remote Desktop client instead of Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan). Original product version: Windows 10.

    If your username does not have 'IOWA' in front of it, click 'Use another account'

  4. For the username field, enter 'iowa' followed by your HawkID. Use your corresponding HawkID password for the password field.
  5. When you are ready to end your session on the Remote Data Analysis Server, please log out rather than close your Remote Desktop Connection window. If you only close your Remote Desktop Connection window, you will still be logged in on the remote server. To ensure you are logged out, go to the Start menu (bottom left corner of your screen), and select 'Log Off'

Guidelines for Using the Remote Data Analysis Server

In order to maintain data security compliance and to insure backup of important files, please keep the following in mind:

  • Project files are located at C:Projects
  • Data should only be kept in 'Data' folders under their respective projects
  • All important (but not sensitive) files should be kept on the network drive 'rdss_skbruch' to ensure they are backed up
  • When setting up new projects, please contact Alex Sukalski to ensure proper steps are taken to maintain security compliance of the data
  • Please log out when done rather than just close your Remote Desktop Connection window, which will leave you signed in to the remote server.

Transferring Files to and from the Remote Data Analysis Server

The easiest way to transfer files from your local computer to the Remote Data Analysis server is using Remote Desktop Connection itself. To have your local drives appear in the Remote Data Analysis server, follow these steps:

Cisco Anyconnect Download Windows 10

  1. In Remote Desktop Connection, click 'Show Options'


  2. Click 'Local Resources'


  3. In the 'Local devices and resources' section, click 'More..'


  4. Expand the 'Drives' section


  5. Select the drives you want to appear on the Remote Data Analysis server and click okay


  6. Click 'Connect'
  7. You may be prompted about the potential danger of connecting to the server with local resources. Click 'Connect' and log in with your hawkID and password, as shown above


  8. Your local drive(s) should now show up under 'Devices and drivers' on 'This PC'


  9. Copy files to their destinations. It is not recommended to work with the files off of your shared local drive ('C on PPC-22' in the example image) as it will be slower, may not have the desired level of backup, and may be in violation of data security plans.
Modified

This vulnerability has been modified since it was last analyzed by the NVD. It is awaiting reanalysis which may result in further changes to the information provided.

Current Description

A vulnerability in the interprocess communication (IPC) channel of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows could allow an authenticated, local attacker to perform a DLL hijacking attack. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would need to have valid credentials on the Windows system. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of resources that are loaded by the application at run time. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted IPC message to the AnyConnect process. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected machine with SYSTEM privileges. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would need to have valid credentials on the Windows system.
