UTA Web Login

System requirements: None, Mac, Linux, Windows

Description:

"UTA Web Login" is the SSID for UTA's WPA-Personal wireless network. This network utilizes a web redirect for authentication, and WPA with PSK for encryption. The user experience will be very similar to UTA's legacy wireless network, "UTAwireless". Once connected, login will be required after launching a web browser. "UTA Web Login" is encrypted, providing a more secure method of connecting via wireless to the campus network than was available in the past.

The purpose of this alternate method of connecting to the wireless network is to allow for shared computers to connect easily without fear of sharing usernames and passwords. It is also provided for older computers, different operating systems, or wireless network card software clients that do not work properly with 802.1x systems.

How to Use:

The settings for the SSID “UTA Web Login” are as follows:
  • WPA/PSK (WPA-Personal)
  • Pre-Shared Key: UTAsecret
  • Web Authorization Redirect (browser initiated) Login
  • UTA NetID credentials
