Secure W2 For iOS

Norwich IT working with our Vendors has enabled a simpler way to access Norwich wireless resources. Instead of using your Norwich credentials, you can install a certificate that completes authentication to the network for you.  The advantage of Certificate-based authentication is not having to update your password on your device every time you change it. 

1. Join the Guest Network on your iOS-based device. Notice: Norwich-managed iPads and Apple Computers install this certificate automatically during configuration.

• Select Guest from the available wireless networks. 

• Scroll through the Terms of Service and click "Accept."  The "Accept," will not allow you to click until you scroll through the message. 

• When your device is provided access the screen will appear as such.  Tap on "Done."

2. Open the Norwich SSO Dashboard (http://sso.norwich.edu) in the browser of your choice. You can also go to http://wifi.norwich.edu.

• Complete Authentication using your Norwich email address.  Please note: You cannot use @stu.norwich.edu.  This is only an alias. 

• Select "Work or school account."

• You may have to enter your password and complete MFA input.

3. Launching the SecureW2 app from your Norwich SSO Launchpad will redirect you to the SecureW2 website.

4. Click "Sign-in."  The "Sign-in" button will be replaced with "Join Now."

5. By clicking "Join Now," you will be asked to Allow a download to your device.

• After the certificate is downloaded you will be offered a "Close," dialog.

• Now appear the instructions on how to complete the installation.

6. Returning to "Setting," on your iOS device, you will want to select General.

• From General, select "VPN & Device Management,"

• Tap on the entry under "Downloaded Profile,"

• Choose "Install," in the upper right. You will be requested to then enter your phone's PIN or Passcode.

• Confirm "Install," at the bottom.

• Click "Done."

7. Upon installing the certificate to the iOS device, it will automatically connect to Norwich Wi-Fi.
