As many of you are already aware, the Secure Connect project is moving forward. On June 24th enforcement for the UCSD-PROTECTED wireless network will begin for users in Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, and GPS.
Once enforcement starts, users who connect to UCSD-PROTECTED on a machine that is not enrolled in the management system will receive "Internet-only" access and may be unable to access some protected resources and certain printers.
If you use a machine managed by SSCF, A&H IT, or GPS IT, you don't need to do anything - your machines will already be compliant.
If you use a machine that does not belong to UCSD, we do not recommend that you enroll it at this time - if you need to access protected resources using a non-UCSD machine you should talk to us first about the ramifications of enrollment.
In this phase we suggest that all students, faculty, and staff (on both personal and UCSD devices) simply switch from using UCSD-PROTECTED to using "eduroam". We've made configuration changes that will allow you to print from eduroam, and it has the added advantage that you'll get automatic access to wifi if you visit one of the many other universities that are members of the eduroam consortium.
You connect to eduroam just like UCSD-PROTECTED, except you enter your @ucsd.edu email address in the username field instead of just your username. The eduroam network is on the exact same networking hardware as UCSD-PROTECTED, so there's no performance difference between the two. If you are visiting UCSD as a guest from another institution you may need to use your home institution credentials to access eduroam.
