Instructions on how to connect to the MCT VPN connection from home or when travelling.
Please make sure your device is connected to an internet connection before beginning these instructions. You cannot connect to the MCG VPN while inside the Mike Carney network. You must be outside the business.
You must also request access to the VPN so that the IT department can grant you access through the Microsoft 365 portal. This can be done by emailing [email protected] and requesting VPN access.
The VPN talks directly to Microsoft 365 for user credentials, so if you change your password at work, this will also change the password on the VPN connection.
To install the VPN Client
In a web browser, navigate to https://gw.mikecarneytoyota.com.au and log in using your email address and your Windows password, then select single sign on.
Once you have successfully logged on, you will be presented with the MCG VPN Portal page. Click on the download fortiClient and select the operating system you are running. Select either Windows, MAC OS, IOS or Android depending on which operating system your device is running.
Once the download has finished, double-click the downloaded file to install the Forticlient VPN client to your computer.
To set up the Forticlient, open the client by clicking on the FortiClient icon on your desktop or selecting the icon on the task bar.
Once the console opens, select the three lines next to the VPN Name box and select add a new connection.
Fill in the details exactly as below. If you fill these details in incorrectly, the VPN will not connect. Once you have these details filled in, click save.
Click the SAML Login button
A web browser window will open, and you need to log into your Microsoft 365 account using your email address and windows password. Make sure you select work or School
If your account has two-factor authentication turned on, you will need to approve the sign in request.
Then select yes, to stay signed in so the next time you want to use the VPN connection it will not ask you for your two-factor authentication on the device you are using.
The web age will change to connecting to the VPN
The Client page will show the connection status
The system tray will notify you when you have connected successfully.
You will now be on the MCG network and be able to open the shared & common drives, access TUNE and access the Toyota DAN Network just like if you were sitting in your office.
