The security certificate used for connecting to the eduroam wi-Fi service is due to expire

 This certificate will be replaced on Thursday 11^th August at 12 Noon. Changes in the certificate chain mean a different top-level certificate is issued to validate the HWU authentication servers that users connect to.

 This change will result in users having to re-configure their personal devices to maintain connectivity to the eduroam Wi-Fi service, when on a HWU campus or other eduroam participating institution.

 Apple devices, running iOS, will likely notify a user about the certificate change. The new certificate is issued by GEANT OV RSA CA 4 and users should accept this new certificate at the point of connecting to maintain connectivity.

 Unfortunately, users with Android, Windows, macOS and Linux devices may be required to manually amend their existing configurations or delete and replace them with the new certificate settings included. 

 The easiest way of correcting any issues is to remove any existing eduroam profiles (and uninstall the SecureW2 app from any mobile device), connect to the HWU Wi-Fi Setup service and install a new profile using the SecureW2 configuration utility for personal devices.

** Please note that users with HWU managed laptops should NOT need to run the SecureW2 config utility
