JMU-Official-Wireless¶

JMU IT has instructions for connecting to the JMU-Official-Wireless network from macOS and Windows here:

https://www.jmu.edu/computing/internet-and-network/official-wireless.shtml

If you're running Linux then use the following settings:

• SSID: JMU-Official-Wireless
• Wireless security: WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
• Authentication: Protected EAP (PEAP)
• Anonymous identity: \<leave blank>
• Domain: \<leave blank>
• CA certificate: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
• PEAP version: Version 0
• Inner authentication: MSCHAPv2
• Username: \<your JMU e-ID>
• Password: \<your JMU password>

This should work on most Linux distributions though the path to the CA certificate file could be different or you may need to use a different one altogether.
