Expiring eduroam Network Certificate

On Wednesday October 6th the certificate for the eduroam wireless network will be updated. DoIT recommends that you forget and rejoin eduroam using the instructions below before the certificate update takes place. Doing so ahead Wednesday night's work will allow for a seamless transition.  

For many, including most Windows users, no action will need to be taken. If you know that you have already used the eduroam install utility when the network was originally set up your computer should automatically trust the new updated certificate. However, if you did not use the install utility or aren’t sure you can follow the instructions below anytime before Wednesday. 

For anyone who is unable to reconfigure their eduroam network before the certificate transition, you may receive an error when connecting the first time. Again, following the instructions below will allow you to reconnect and continue using eduroam, DoIT’s recommended wireless network. 

You can fix this ahead of time by following the new eduroam setup instructions listed in our wiki: https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=36766369 .
