Configuration changes in the "eduroam" network (March 6, 2012)

Today, 6 March 2012, all IST users will have to update their wireless configuration. Click here.

This change, required by FCCN (the institution in charge of the Portuguese national research network) in coordination with international organizations, aims to improve security and compatibility of "eduroam" networks world wide. At IST, this update will be synchronized with a change of the IST root certificate (CA).

In some devices, the update will be almost seamless and suggested by the operating system. However, in most cases, a full reconfiguration will be required. Please follow the configurations instruction available at http://wifi.ist.utl.pt/configuracoes/. Please note, that due to technical constraints, this configuration update can not be made in advance and will be only effective if performed after the target change date.

We appologize for any inconvenience.
