[[Image:gp1.png|thumb|right|130px|'''Seneca GlobalProtect Student VPN''' ]]
Seneca College is "rolling-out" additional measures to improve '''network security'''. One of these measures is to implement '''multi-factored authentication'''. As of '''September 2020''', all Seneca College students are required to connect to the '''Seneca GlobalProtect Student VPN''' in order to be able to connect to their '''Matrix''' Linux account.<br><br>''<b>Multi-factor authentication</b> is an electronic authentication method in which a computer user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism: knowledge (something the user and only the user knows).'' Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-factor_authentication<br><br>You should have received an email message (also available in course announcements) regarding how to setup your Smart Phone to connect and valid via the Seneca GlobalProtect Student VPN. '''NOTE:''' If you haven't done this yet, please perform the steps provided in the following link:<br>https://employeesstudents.senecacollege.ca/spaces/77186/it-services/wiki/view/37221025/student-vpn<br><br>
In the next investigation, you will learn how to '''connect''' to and '''login''' to your Matrix server account from a remote computer<br>such as your '''home desktop computer''', '''laptop''' or '''tablet''' computer.<br><br>

= INVESTIGATION 2: USING THE LINUX SHELL =
:* Perform '''Basic Shell Editing'''
:* Issue a '''program''' to confirm that you connected to your Matrix account
===Part 1: Using the Linux Shell ===
= LINUX PRACTICE QUESTIONS =
The purpose of this section is to obtain '''extra practice''' to help with '''quizzes''', your '''midterm''', and your '''final exam'''.
Here is a link to the [https://matrix.senecacollege.ca/~osl640/questions/osl640_week1_practice.docx MS Word Document of ALL of the questions] displayed below but with extra room to answer on the document to simulate a quiz:
Your instructor may take-up these questions during class. It is up to the student to attend classes in order to obtain the answers to the following questions. Your instructor will NOT provide these answers in any other form (eg. e-mail, etc).
