Users of the eduroam wifi service will need to click to approve a new security certificate for their device to connect to eduroam wifi, following a service upgrade on December 29. ITS is installing a higher capacity Access Control Server (ACS) which uses a new security certificate, adding increased security to authenticate clients on the wifi network.
When existing client devices connect to the eduroam SSID, a popup screen will ask them to click to accept and approve the authenticity of the new security certificate. After approval, the device will then connect to the network.
No disruption to eduroam is expected during the upgrade as user traffic will automatically be redirected to the new server.
eduroam (education roaming) is a secured wireless network service that allows students, staff, and faculty to use their home institution's wireless credentials to access wireless network services, when visiting other eduroam participating institutions, without having to set up a guest account.
