Register MFA via GTIIT SSL VPN

By default, you are recommended to use the Microsoft Authenticator app for the account sign-in method. However, some of us might feel more comfortable with using SMS verification code sent to our mobile phones. This is the groundwork before you can access the GTIIT VPN connection when you are outside the campus.

  1. Open a web browser and visit https://sslvpn.gtiit.edu.cn/sso, input your GTIIT account in the username@gtiit.edu.cn format, then your password.


  2. When you are prompted More information required after you entered the correct password, click Next.


  3. You can use your smartphone to receive an SMS code for verification, select I want to set up a different method


  4. Select Phone


  5. Select China (+86) and enter your phone number, click Next to receive and enter the verification code. This way we set up a secure verification method to protect our account. If you didn't receive the message, it's probably going into Junk message, get it there and unblock this sender.


  6. Enter the 6-digit verification code sent to your phone, click Next


  7. Click Next when you see the following page


  8. You will be asked to create a name for the App password. Create a name then click Next, and save the App password somewhere just in case it might be needed in the future.


  9. The phone number has been set up okay, click Done


  10. Now you have registered your phone number with your GTIT account, you will be prompted to enter the SMS code the next time when you are requested for verification.
  11. To further configure GTIIT VPN,  please refer to GTIIT VPN Off-campus Network Access With SSO
