Upcoming work to renew network certificate
We will be renewing the network certificate on Tuesday 31 October.
This certificate validates that the network you are connecting to is provided by the University and renewing it is an important part of maintaining a secure network.
You may need to take action on devices connected to our wireless network (eduroam) or the student wired network.
Personal and unmanaged devices
If you are using an unmanaged or personal device which has been configured using the UoY Setup, eduroam CAT, or geteduroam tools, you shouldn’t need to do anything.
If your device has been configured manually by entering your username and password, after the certificate has been renewed, you may see a message similar to the below:
