Apple iOS (iPhone) Connect to Network

Updated

These steps connect an iPhone to the College of Wooster wireless network. The setup moves back and forth between Safari and Settings several times, so work through the sections in order. Plan about fifteen minutes. You only have to do this once per phone. If you are setting up an iPad, use the iPad article instead.

Connect to the Start Here Network

  1. Open Settings, then Wi-Fi.
  2. Select the Start Here network.
  3. Wait for your iPhone to connect. Start Here is an open network, so there is no password.

Open the Onboarding Page

  1. Open Safari. It may go straight to the onboarding page. If it does not, type onboard.wooster.edu in the address bar.
  2. You will see four choices. Select the first one, I am a member of the college community.

Install the Certificate

  1. Select Install Certificate.
  2. Select Allow when Safari asks to download a configuration profile.
  3. Open Settings, then General, then VPN & Device Management. A Profile Downloaded banner may also appear near the top of the main Settings screen, which takes you to the same place.
Click through the CPPM Cert to install it.
  1. Select the CPPM certificate.
  2. Select Install, then Trust, then Done.
  3. Return to Safari.

You may be asked for your iPhone passcode during any profile install. That is your Apple phone passcode, not your Wooster password.

Click on Install and then select Trust. Once you get to done, you can return to Safari web browser.

Install the Network Profile

  1. In Safari, select Install Profile, then Allow.
  2. Open Settings, then General, then VPN & Device Management.
  3. Select Device Enrollment.

Trust the Certificates

This step is required. Without it your iPhone may show as connected while nothing actually loads.

  1. Open Settings, then General, then About.
  2. Scroll to the bottom and select Certificate Trust Settings.
  3. Turn on both certificates so the switches are green.
  1. Select Continue on the warning that appears.

Switch to the College of Wooster Network

  1. Open Settings, then Wi-Fi.
  2. Select the information icon next to Start Here, then select Forget This Network.
  1. Return to the Wi-Fi list and select The College of Wooster.

Your iPhone will now connect to The College of Wooster network automatically whenever you are on campus.
