Help:Wifi

To connect to the UCF wireless network as a student or employee, please see the wireless instructions.

If you have not recently set your NID password, you may need to visit the NID password reset page

As a shortcut to get to these pages, you can connect to the UCF_Guest network, which will then redirect you to an instruction page that links to the above pages.

ubuntu

Ubuntu 14 does not work reliably on enterprise wifi. Please upgrade.

If ubuntu's default dialogs for connecting to wifi do not work, go back to the menu and EDIT the UCF_WPA2 entry so it looks like what is in the instructions listed above. If that isn't enough, try the next step.

Download the certificate and install as described at http://blog.tkassembled.com/410/adding-a-certificate-authority-to-the-trusted-list-in-ubuntu/

Then re-edit the UCF_WPA2 entry to use the certificate. There seems to be a bug in the normal ubuntu dialog that prevents selection of the certificate, so you may have to go through the edit menu for this as well.

UCF Wi-Fi on raspberry Pi using WPA Supplicant

This procedure works on Ubuntu and Debian based linux, assuming you want to avoid using the GUI.

You will need to download the comodo certificate listed in the above links, in the manual configuration directions.

Note that the second certificate listed on that page opens in browser; instead, right click and save link as...

If opening the certificate does not import it, you can manually import it as follows: [1] [2]

1. move certificate files to /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
2. run sudo update-ca-certificates

At this point, ubuntu should allow you to connect using the GUI wifi tools. If not, try deleting all instances of UCF_WPA2 in the remembered networks list and try again. If that doesn't work, the manual procedure below should work.

Edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf as follows:

• Make sure the absolute file path matches addtrustexternalcaroot.crt (downloaded above)
• replace USERNAME and PASSWORD below with nid information

The result should look something like this:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
        ssid="UCF_WPA2"
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        eap=PEAP
        identity="USERNAME"
        password="PASSWORD"
        ca_cert="/etc/certs/addtrustexternalcaroot.crt"
        phase1="peaplabel=0"
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
        priority=10
}
