View pages in this section

Important


On 12th December 2011 the University introduced a­ new Digital Certificate for use during the 'eduroam' authen­tication process.

It is more than likely that your device will connect to 'eduroam' and prompt you to accept a digital certificate from radius.leeds.ac.uk.

IMPORTANT GUIDANCE

If it does not happen and you cannot get onto the network then you are STRONGLY advised to go and install all three digital certificates available with fingerprints and technical information here.

For example, for Windows 7, download each certifi­cate (DER format) onto your laptop and double click each one in turn. This will cause the certificates to self install.

There is also an automated configuration tool available for Windows 7

Once this is done, please follow these instructions (or those available for your particular OS)



We have successfully tested these devices.

For example,on a Mac you may see this:

More general information is available on the following page.
