Â鶹Éçmadou

There will be a new method to connect to the Wi-Fi on Â鶹Éçmadou sites that will enhance security of your connection to the Â鶹Éçmadou network. We will be shifting over to certificate based authentication which is more secure than traditional username and password authentication.

Any new devices that you wish to connect to the network will now need to be 'onboarded'. Please refer to the guides for more details on how to do so.

Any existing connections to Eduroam will remain till password expiry, after which you would need to 'onboard' your device the same way.

Step-by-step instructions can be found in the user guides section. Generally, it involves downloading the certificate followed by a few steps to install the certificate on your device.

The installation guide will highlight the reconfiguration steps:

• Android will be configured via the Clearpass QuickConnect app
• Windows devices will be configured via the Aruba QuickConnect wizard
• Mac devices and IOS will be configured via the settings as per the instructions

Yes, to maintain Â鶹Éçmadou's outstanding cyber security standards, all students and staff must switch to the new certificate based authentication method.

The certificates will have an expiry date of 1 year, and will need to be renewed every year.

No, the Â鶹Éçmadou-Guest Wi-Fi will not be affected.
