Configuring WPA2 for iPhone
The University has two wireless networks: uOttawa and uOttawa-WPA. You should only associate with these networks. Networks with other names (EG, FreeInternet, OttawaU, etc) are rogue networks which are not part of the University. They may be there as an attempt to steal your password or other confidential information. Note that the University’s networks, both the VPN and WPA, use secure encryption to prevent others from viewing your traffic.
Initial Configuration
1. Select the Settings icon on the iPhone’s main screen.
2. Select the Wi-Fi option.
3. If Wi-Fi is OFF, slide it to the ON position. A list of available Wi-Fi networks within your range will be listed under the Choose a Network… section. Select the uOttawa-WPA network.
4. Enter your InfoWeb account name and password.
Students use:
Username = student number only
Password = InfoWeb password (All characters must be in uppercase)Employees use:
Username = "E" followed by your short employee number
Password = InfoWeb password (All characters must be in uppercase)
5. Accept the mobile.uottawa.ca certificate.
6. Once you have accepted the certificate, the iPhone will return to the Wi-Fi Networks window. A check mark should be placed next to the uOttawa-WPA network and you will see a signal bar appear at the top of the display.
