Save UMVPN Login Credentials for Built-In macOS Client (MiWorkspace Mac)

Note that the instructions below represent changes to be implemented on May 25, 2023. See current instructions to Connect to UMVPN using macOS built-in client.

The built-in macOS VPN client does not automatically save your login credentials. If you do not wish to re-enter your account name and password each time you connect to a VPN profile, you can save your login credentials. Note that this is not recommended for shared devices with multiple users.
