This guide assumes you have some knowledge of Linux operating systems. You should also change the default password of your pi account!!!

1. From a different device, download this certificate, you’ll need it later. We suggest putting the cert on a USB flash drive to easily move it to your Pi.
2. On your pi, create a directory for the cert to live:

    sudo mkdir /etc/certs

3. Copy the cert to the /etc/certs directory:

    sudo cp -v /path/to/AddTrustExternalCARoot.cer /etc/certs/

4. Use nano to configure the wpa_supplicant.conf file:

    sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

   • Below is what your wpa_supplicant.conf file should look like.
     NOTE:

     You’ll need to replace ‘netid’ and ‘netidpassword’ with your UVM credentials.

     country=US
     ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
     update_config=1
     network={
            ssid="UVM"
            scan_ssid=0
            key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
            eap=PEAP
            identity="netid"
            password="netidPassword"
            ca_cert="/etc/certs/AddTrustExternalCARoot.cer"
            phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
     }

   • Press Ctrl + X to save the file.
5. Reboot your pi

   reboot

Manufacturers of some Android phones do not provide pre-installed system certificates used to validate the trustworthiness of systems you’re connecting to. If your Android device does not give you the option to “Use system certificates” when specifying settings for connecting to UVM wireless, this guide will show you how to manually install the required certificate.

1. Open the Chrome browser on your phone and navigate to https://go.uvm.edu/wificert
2. When the download completes, many phones will begin installing the certificate automatically. You may receive a prompt asking you to enter your phone’s passcode. Some phones will require you to tap on the downloaded “AddTrustExternalCARoot.cer” certificate file to install it.
3. When installing the certificate, some phones will require that you name the certificate and specify how it will be used:
   Certificate name: UVM wifi
   Credential use: Wi-Fi
4. After installing/naming the certificate, open your devices Wi-Fi settings and select the UVM network.
   
5. Configure the connection settings as follows:
   EAP Method: PEAP
   Phase 2 authentication:  MSCHAPV2
   CA Certificates: UVM wifi
   Domain: radius.uvm.edu
   Identity: your_uvm_NetID
   Anonymous Identity: <leave blank>
   Password: your_NetID_password
   
   

1. To register your game console or media streaming device to the WIRED UVM network, please complete the Play Online Form at https://go.uvm.edu/playonline.
2. Reboot your console or media streaming device. Your device should have Internet access.

• If your device does not have an Ethernet port, please see our Internet-of-things tips guide to see if your device supports USB to Ethernet adapters.

Wireless printers are not designed for use with WPA2-Enterprise networks, a common WiFi network standard used by UVM and most other universities. They will not be able to connect to the UVM wireless network.

Additionally, it is not recommended to register a printer on our NetReg database for use with an Ethernet connection. Doing so represents a security risk; anyone connected to UVM’s network via Ethernet will be able to see your printer and print to it. This can lead to unwanted print jobs, excessive ink and paper use, and other issues.

Instead, you should use a printer cable to connect your printer to your computer. This direct connection will be required every time you want to print, but gives you the most control over your printer, and will work reliably. These cables can be picked up at the UVM Tech Store, though many printers will include them.
