The SARA Network (Application Systems and Networks for Administrations) is a set of communications infrastructures and basic services that connect public administration networks, facilitating the exchange of information and access to services. In Catalonia, access to the SARA Network is provided by AOC.
From AOC we will provide the secure tunnel to connect you, but to be able to access any service exposed on Xarxa SARA, you will also need the URL to access these services as well as user and password data. This data will be provided by each organization responsible for each service.
The connection to the SARA network is currently made through a VPN client.
This option is discontinued. You will need to create a VPN client to access.
