Setting Up Wi-Fi on a Mac OS X Snow Leopard Laptop

Note: if you are a visitor and already use eduroam from another organisation, then your device should connect automatically to our eduroam network.

2. In the 'System Preferences' menu, under the 'Network and Internet' section, click on the icon for 'Network':

3. On the next screen, select the 'Turn AirPort On' button, unlock the interface if locked, and click on the 'Advanced...' button:

4. Click the '+' button to add a new network:

5. Click the 'Show Networks' button:

6. You may be prompted to confirm your computer username and password (that has administrator rights):

7. Select the 'eduroam' network, and if you already use eduroam use your eduroam username e.g. abcd1234@ox.ac.uk

However the username will differ for University of Chichester students and staff:

- UOC Staff input your network username followed by @chi.ac.uk e.g. breynold@chi.ac.uk (not your email address)

Confirm your normal password.

Lastly make sure '802.1x' is set to 'Automatic' then click 'Add':

8. You may then get a box stating 'The server certificate is not trusted because there are no explicit trust settings'.

Click 'Show Certificate':

9. You should now be presented with a window titled 'Verify Certificate'. This should refer to radius.chi.ac.uk as being a valid certificate, and signed by 'GlobalSign Organization Validation CA'.

10. Again you may be prompted to confirm your computer username and password (that has administrator rights):

11. Your computer will now authenticate to the network, and you should be able to access the internet.

If you have successfully connected, then the Wi-Fi networks list should confirm that 'eduroam' is ticked:

If you get an error saying that authentication has failed, double-check the above steps. If you are still unable to connect, then contact the Service Desk for assistance.
