2018-09-05|McMaster eduroam for alumni

To whom it may concern

As a McMaster alumnus, I have used McMaster's Alumni E-mail Forwarding Service since 2007.
Please consider taking the next step of offering "eduroam" access for McMaster alumni so that they could proudly access Wi-Fi at any participating educational institutions in the world.
Thank you very much for your attention.

To whom it may concern

You kindly set up "eduroam" access for me last year. It turned out to be very useful whenever I visit any university, so I am infinitely grateful to you as a proud McMaster alumnus!
Today, I received error message "Incorrect Wi-Fi Password" from "eduroam" at uOttawa. I believe that it is due to the expiration of the password on my account "sunatogo@mcmaster.ca".

When I received the notification a few weeks ago as shown below, I followed the instruction to reset the password.

Your MacID password will expire in 7 Days

Your MacID password will expire soon. Please use the "MacID and Password Management" tile on your Mosaic home page to change the password for sunatogo, which will expire on 2019/09/24 03:49 PM.
Alternatively, you can manage your password by following this link: https://www.mcmaster.ca/uts/macid/

However, my attempt was not successful as shown below.

Change Password

Your password has expired and must be changed to complete the MacID activation process.

Authentication failed with new password. Try logging in at a later time or contact UTS Service Desk.

Following the instruction, I tried logging in later many times, but all failed with error message "Unable to join the network "eduroam"". Therefore, I am contacting you to have the password for my account "sunatogo@mcmaster.ca" reset by University Technology Services (UTS) Service Desk.
Thank you very much for your attention.

To whom it may concern

Thanks to University Technology Services (UTS)'s competent assistance, I was able to log into MacID Management website. However, eduroam Wi-Fi network at Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO) gives me the following panel.
Previously (3-1/2 years ago), I was given the following, which no longer works. Please provide me with updated Password.
- Account Name: sunatogo@mcmaster.ca
- Password: qywbyv-0korzy-Robfud
Thank you very much for your attention.

To whom it may concern

Even after installing the eduroam profile, eduroam still fails.
- iOS > Settings > General
  - VPN & Device Management
    - CONFIGURATION PROFILE: eduroam®
Thank you very much for your attention.

To whom it may concern

After failures of eduroam at Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO) and also at Acadia University, I found that eduroam works just fine at uOttawa, without such eduroam profile with settings parameters.
Thank you very much for your attention.
