If you encounter an issue connecting to a wireless with a Mac desktop or notebook computer, follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
- Select Turn Wi-Fi Off from the AirPort icon drop-down menu (
Wi-Fi icon located on the upper right side of the menu bar).
- Click the Finder icon to open a Finder window. Double-click your Macintosh Hard Drive, then the Applications folder, the Utilities folder, and finally double-click to open the Keychain Access file.
- Cleanup: From the login keychain (on the left), right-click any eduroam entries and select Delete to remove that entry.
- Cleanup: From the System keychain (on the left), right-click any eduroam wireless entries and select Delete to remove that entry.
- From the System Roots keychain (on the left), double click on DigiCert.
- Expand the Trust section by clicking on the arrow next to it.
- From the gray Extensible Authentication (EAP) drop-down, select Always Trust.
NOTE: This step is necessary due to a bug. At some point, the user will be prompted to accept trust settings for the wireless.d.edu certificate. There is a lot of typing that must be done at that point, and if its not completed quickly the EAP authentication will time out and interfere with the configuration.)
