Setup L2TP VPN for Tiger
STEP 1: Verify that your TTU Windows Domain Account is Active:
- Go to http://www.eRaider.ttu.edu and log in using your eRaider username and password.
- Click on the Manager your eRaider Account link.
- Under the eRaider Account Manager banner, there will be a section on the right titled Windows Domain Account. In this section, verify that you have an entry named TTU.EDU - Active that has a small bright green circle next to it. If you do, your Windows Domain Account is active and you can proceed to the next section.
- If you see a small dark green circle and an entry named TTU.EDU - Inactive instead, you will need to activate your domain account before continuing. To do this, click on the entry named TTU.EDU - Inactive. This will bring up a new screen that should allow you to activate your domain account. Follow the instructions presented on the screen to activate your domain account.
- Once you have followed the instructions on the screen, click on the General Information button on the left and verify that your account is now showing up as TTU.EDU - Active with a small bright green circle next to it in the Windows Domain Account section on the right side of the page.
