- Then set the Domain to “ad.okstate.edu” when there is a section for CA Certificates, select “Use System Certificates” and.
- When your unit doesn’t have a “Use System Certificates” option, you can pick “Do not Validate” instead (but know that this might make you susceptible to a person at the center assault, so make sure you are linking in a place for which you expect you’ll discover the EDUROAM service).
- It blank if you see a field called “Anonymous Identity”, just leave. All of those other choices ought to be kept inside their standard settings.
In the event your products support WPA2-enterprise encryption (smart phones, laptops, & most tablets) we suggest you connect those products to EDUROAM.
Start option that is wireless
OSURESLIFE is a network that is new doesn’t need encryption. It really is just obtainable in the Residential Halls and Apartments (where Wi-Fi is present), it shall maybe perhaps not work throughout the remainder of campus.
For those who have devices you desire to hook up to Wi-Fi it doesn’t help WPA2-enterprise encryption but does support available networks (such as for example smart television’s, Roku/AppleTV, kindle/nook e-readers, game consoles, etc. ), you are able to register them to get in touch towards the OSURESLIFE system.

You shouldn’t utilize a computer device about this system for connecting to your internet site or service where your information that is personal could at danger. When feasible (such as for example with Smart TVs and Game Consoles) it really is much safer and much more reliable just to connect these devices in to the wired system by having an ethernet cable.
products which do not help available systems or WPA2-enterprise (such as for example smart speakers, wifi lights, wifi video security cameras, etc. ) are currently maybe not supported regarding the Wi-Fi sites at OSU
