Connecting to IU Secure with an iPhone or iPod touch
Note: Apple uses the term iPhone to refer to the software and configuration of both the iPhone and iPod touch. This document uses iPhone to describe both devices.
If you use an iPhone to connect to the wireless network at Indiana University, use the IU Secure network whenever possible. When you move from one campus to another that uses IU Secure, the iPhone will connect to the network automatically.
Note: You will need to update to the iPhone 2 software to use the features described in this document.
Enabling your iPhone to use IU Secure
- From the main screen, tap
Settings, and then tapWi-Fi.
- If your Wi-Fi is already set to use IU Wireless, you will need
to switch to IU Secure. Under "Choose a Network...", tap
IU Secure.
- Next to "Username" and "Password", enter your IU Network
ID credentials. Tap
Join.
- You will be prompted to accept the net-auth-1.noc.iu.edu Client
Authentication certificate. Verify that the certificate says
"Thawte Premium Server CA" under "net-auth-1.noc.iu.edu". The
certificate will be red and labeled "not verified"; this is
normal. Tap
Accept.
Once you have accepted the certificate, you will be authenticated to
the IU Secure network and a check will appear next to IU
Secure on the "Wi-Fi Networks" screen.
After completing these steps, you should not need to do anything to select the IU Secure network in the future. If IU Secure is not available and you use the IU Wireless network, you will need to reselect the IU Secure network when it is available again. You should not need to enter your network passphrase to make this change.
