The Institute for Information Management and Communication (IIMC) provides IKEv2 VPN service, which enables users to connect to the university's internal network from outside of the campus.

It can currently be accessed using either client certificate-based authentication or password-based authentication. However, it is becoming a very risky situation to use the later authentication for the reason that the password can be easily leaked when security incidents occur, in services that allow direct connection to the university's internal network from anywhere in the world.

Therefore, we have decided to disallow password-based authentication in order to ensure security.

We will send the announce individual mail to password users.
