Paychex Laptop (No Remote Desktop Protocol)

Paychex laptops can connect directly to the Paychex network via VPN using Cisco AnyConnect. This is a completely different access method, and does not require the Soft Token to access. 

You will need a certificate on your laptop to authenticate with the Paychex network. You can get this certificate via Paychex Enterprise Support: (585) 383-3456.

When you have the certificate, you can use Cisco AnyConnect to access connect.paychex.com, selecting the Employee_cert you received, and using you Paychex login credentials.
