By the way, I don't know if this was mentioned on NAG or not, but the Network Management group did obtain a digital certificate that appears to pass muster with common browsers, so folks connecting to MSUnet Wireless under IE 7 won't see its overly cautious warning, and folks using other browsers won't see a certificate warning.

 

My colleague Kevin Grattan sent me an e-mail last week asking me to test it.  I replied that I was 2000 miles away in Monterey CA at a conference.  Kevin offered to boost the MSUnet Wireless signal so I could test things.  :-)

 

Anyhow, it seems fine on my laptop with IE 7.  Kevin says he's pushed the certs to all access points.  He also advises that if you're logging in, go to wireless.msu.edu/login instead of http://1.1.1.1 in order to avoid the certificate warning.  Folks should call the ACNS help desk if they have questions or problems.

Two of our users reported being asked about it, so far this morning.
I just checked and MSIE 7 is sitting in WSUS queue awaiting approval.
I think we'll wait a bit though.  ;-)
