WPA on Ubuntu at Illinois

Continuing with articles about connecting to the network at the University of Illinois from an Ubuntu computer, here’s a hint about connecting to the UiWpa2 / IllinoisNet Wireless:  Ubuntu may not automatically choose a certificate authority for you; you may need to browse for a CA certificate.

Choose the Thawte Premium Server CA – it will work at Illinois (and quite a lot of other places, actually): /etc/ssl/certs/ThawtePremiumServer_CA.pem

As usual, enter your NetId for your username, and you can use your Active Directory password.

If you’re still having trouble getting online, check out the CITES Homepage for more information on Illinois network resources.
