After eduroam gets new certificate, you might get a prompt

Heads up if you use eduroam, the UC Davis wireless network.

The campus will install a new electronic security certificate on eduroam at 7 a.m. Tuesday, May 15, which means you might see a prompt on your phone or other device sometime after then asking you to accept the new certificate.

The certificate tells your device it’s connecting to eduroam. Some devices will accept the certificate automatically. Your experience will vary depending on your device, model, and operating system.

This installation was rescheduled from March 26. Certificates expire periodically, which means these updates have become something of a routine. The expiring certificate was installed in June 2015.
