Campus Wi-Fi Certificate Updates – Network ‘Trust’ Confirmation

University Technology Services (UTS) will update a Wi-Fi certificate for all networks between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 on June 23, 2024 .

What does this mean for me?
Some devices may require you to acknowledge the new certificate change to continue using Wi-Fi connectivity. If a dialog prompts you to verify that the server certificate information is authentic, select “Trust” or “Connect” to complete the wireless connection.

Why do I need to this?
This ensures that you are not connecting to a “rogue network” pretending to be a McMaster University wireless network. If this dialog box does not appear, or for any other problems afterward, you may need to “forget” the wireless network profile and setup the connection following the guides. See: https://uts.mcmaster.ca/services/infrastructure/connect-to-wifi/.

McMaster authorized Wi-Fi networks that will use the new certificate are:
• Mac-WiFi (preferred network)
• Reznet-WiFi (Student Residence)
• Eduroam (for visitors to McMaster)
• Mohawk-WiFi (IAHS Mohawk Students only)
