Overview
The Stanford University Network Access Control (SUNAC) service enables restricting University firewalled network resources to specific SUNet ID(s) within a workgroup. For individuals working remotely, this is a more secure method to access firewalled resources that should not be reachable by the general University population.
The SUNAC service allows LNAs or application owners to further restrict remote access to academic or administrative resources located behind University IT-managed firewalls. Using Workgroup Manager, access can be limited to specific faculty, staff, or students with a SUNet ID.
SUNAC is available to any academic or administrative group using the University IT-managed firewall service. This includes planning, implementation, and all on-going support costs. SUNAC enabled firewall rules will be reflected in the corresponding firewall documentation pages.
Get started
Administrators or departmental LNAs wishing to secure their data assets with SUNAC should submit a Firewall Rule Request including the existing firewall rule(s) and the workgroup to which the rule will be restricted. Network engineers can assist with crafting rules to ensure that your information is made available to only those who need it.
End users can use their existing VPN client to access resources through SUNAC. End users who are unable to access resources should contact their LNA to ensure they have been granted the correct privileges.
See Using SUNAC (Stanford Network Access Control) to learn how to log in to the service.
