Wireless

JMU IT has instructions for connecting to the JMU-Official-Wireless network from macOS and Windows here: http://www.jmu.edu/computing/network/wireless-guide-generic.shtml

If you're running Linux, you might need to set things up manually. For example, on Linux Mint 19 you need to click the “Connect to Hidden Network…” button. Here are the settings:

JMU-Official-Wireless

  • Anonymous identity: <leave blank>
  • CA certificate: /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/AddTrust_External_Root.crt
  • PEAP version: Version 0
  • Inner authentication: MSCHAPv2
  • Username: <your JMU e-ID>
  • Password: <your JMU password>

For a more automated connection setup, you can use the eduroam SSID and the eduroam CAT tool. Read the JMU IT webpage for eduroam.

  1. Go to https://cat.eduroam.org
  2. Choose 'James Madison University'
  3. Download the Linux Installer
  4. Run the Python script that you receive
  5. Click Ok
  6. Click Yes
  7. Enter eID@jmu.edu where eID is your JMU e-ID.
  8. Enter your JMU e-ID password
  9. You may need to tell Mint to attempt to connect to eduroam

You will need to re-run this every time your password updates.
