Mac OSX:

Connecting to the Active Directory CAMPUS Domain Shared folder

If you are connecting from OFF CAMPUS, you’ll need to first download and install VPN.

After installing the VPN client, you’ll be ready to continue.

If you are ON CAMPUS, you are ready to begin.

Make sure you have an Internet connection, then make Finder the active program (This can be accomplished by single-left-clicking on the desktop).

Now, press Command key and the K key at the same time (⌘+k). The following dialog box should appear
Connect to Server Dialog box Mac OSX

Type cifs://files.campus.ad.uvm.edu/shared into the Server Address box and click “Connect”. The following dialog box should appear:

Connect Mac to AD SHared-login

In this dialog box, select “Registered User” and enter your UVM netid and your password. If you select “Remember this password in my keychain”, it will be stored on your computer so that you won’t have to type it in each time you try to connect to the shared folder. However, this is not recommended on a shared machine.

Click “Connect” after entering your UVM netid and password, and you should be connected to the shared folder. It will look something like this:

NOTE: You will not be able to open or view the contents of folders to which you are not assigned access.
