RUWireless Secure Linux setup


For systems with Network-Manager installed (if you have a WiFi icon on your Linux system you likely have Network-Manager installed).

  1. Download the certificate, which we will use to set up to ensure you only connect to legitimate RUWireless Secure networks.
  2. Click on the WiFi network icon on your system and select Connect to Hidden Wi-Fi Network
  3. The window will then expand, please fill in the following fields as described below:
    Authentication: Tunneled TLS
    Anonymous identity: Leave this field blank.
    CA certificate: Select the previously downloaded certificate from the first step.
    Inner authentication: PAP
    Username: Your NetID Username

  4. Then click connect, you should be able to connect without issue anytime RUWireless Secure is within range.
