WiFi Change (Spring/Summer 201
5)—Update
Overview
Over 185,000 wireless devices are going to require user intervention to continue to function on
UT’s wireless network this summer. This is because the digital certificate for the current
“restricted.utexas.edu” expires July 3, 2015.
Notes
1) IT Architecture and Infrastructure Committee recommendation
a. Create a new wireless network over spring break called “utexas”, and run in
parallel with restricted.utexas.edu
b. Marketing campaign to encourage movement to utexas during the rest of the
semester
c. On May 26th, deactivate restricted.utexas.edu. The Operational IT Committee
may decide to turn it back on if there are lots of device problems to provide a
few more weeks to fix devices (it will stop working July 3rd)
2) Numerous support/technical alternatives considered
Big bang on July 3rd, keep the name restricted.utexas.edu
Self-signed long expiration versus commercial certificates
3) Anticipated problems
For the vast majority, this will be easy
IT support is working on solutions to handle this for managed devices
For less mainstream/older devices, help may be needed (just 1% is ~2K devices)
