Using Netskope ZTNA requires the use of the Microsoft Authenticator app and BlueKey multi-factor authentication (MFA). You will need to download the Microsoft Authenticator app and setup BlueKey MFA at bluekey.depaul.edu/multifactorsetup (if you haven't already done so) prior to accessing the Netskope ZTNA service. Learn more about registering for BlueKey MFA.

Installing Netskope ZTNA on DePaul Windows Computers: Step-by-step instructions
- Download the Netskope client file from the DePaul ZTNA Sharepoint site.
- After downloading, click on the downloaded install file to begin the installation process.
- Accept any User Access Control (UAC) prompt. Note that you may be warned about downloading an exe file and asked to trust or accept the file.
- Wait for the installer to finish; you will not need to do anything during the installation.
- A completion dialogue box will show. Click 'x' to close.
After installing, enabling (turning on) Netskope ZTNA client service
- You will now notice the Netskope service in your system tray; you may need to click on the arrow to show it. Click on the Netskope icon.

- Under the Private Access heading, choose to either enable or disable private access. Enabling private access is how you turn on the Netskope ZTNA.

- To show that Netskope is enabled, private access will be active with green check.
- Note: Internet security will show as disabled with a red x. This is expected (this is a separate service DePaul is not using).
- You will be asked to reauthorize with your BlueKey credentials every 12 hours or after you restart your device.
