If you are configuring the device following the expiry of a previous certificate we recommend that you “forget” the networks you had previously configured.

Specify a Name for the Certificate:
- certificate name: rename the certificate as desired (eg Politecnico)

Network parameters

To configure both networks, “eduroam” and “polimi-protected”, repeat this part.

Access available networks on your device:

Select the network you want to configure: “polimi-protected” or “eduroam”.
Depending on the options available, choose “Modify Network” or “Connect”.

Set these parameters:

EAP method: TLS
CA certificate: “Use system certificates” or “Not specified”
Domain: wifi.polimi.it (if present)
User certificate: enter the name given to your certificate
Identity: PersonCode@polimi.it (eg. 12345678@polimi.it)

Then click on Save and then on Connect.

To know

The certificate expires two years after its generation, you will receive a notice via email approximately 15 days before.
At the time of expiration the connection will stop working. Return to these pages to reactivate it.

You can check the status or revoke in advance by connecting to the Polimi Personal Certificates application
