Overview
On August 16th, SLU's wireless network certificate is scheduled to be renewed. This renewal will affect both SLU-Wifi and Eduroam. The first time you connect to either network after the renewal, you may need to accept the new wireless certificate.
What does this mean for me?
If you are currently working or studying off-campus, please connect to the VPN as often as possible for the next few days while the needed resources for this certificate upgrade are distributed.
The first time you connect to SLU-Wifi or Eduroam on/after August 16th, you may be prompted to accept or trust a new certificate. While this may come in the form of a pop-up, this is legitimate and you should choose to accept/trust it. After that, Wi-Fi will continue working normally, and no other changes should be noticeable.
If you find you are having trouble getting onto the Wi-Fi on/after August 16th, our recommendation would be to remove or "forget" SLU-Wifi/Eduroam from your device, then manually connect to them again.

What is a Wireless Certificate, anyway?
A wireless certificate provides an additional layer of security when connecting to SLU's wi-fi networks. It also provides additional benefits to campus, such as the ability for university computers to seamlessly reconnect to the network while on campus, and allows our users to sign into any public computer on campus as well.
Wireless Certificates expire after a period of time to maintain up-to-date security. When the old certificate lapses, a new one needs to be accepted. This is what will be happening on August 16th.
