Today, July 31st 2025, DoIT updated the certificate for the eduroam Wi-Fi network at UMBC to enhance security and privacy. This certificate must be updated annually.

If you see a message on your device asking you to verify or trust the certificate before connecting, or an error message about connecting to eduroam, then you should be able to fix those by using our eduroam setup guide below to configure your device for eduroam. That process takes about a minute, and afterwards you shouldn't see any alerts about subsequent certificate updates. Your device should connect automatically to the eduroam network while at UMBC, or at any other eduroam-supporting institution. You will need to repeat the process whenever you change your MyUMBC password.

Our setup guide has detailed instructions for common types of devices. If you have questions or need assistance getting connected or reconnected to eduroam, please contact the Technology Support Center (TSC).

Kuhn Library & Gallery 4 0 true Wed, 30 Jul 2025 09:50:30 -0400 GlobalProtect VPN Authentication Change Login process for the GlobalProtect VPN has changed slightly

As part of a recent update, connecting to UMBC's GlobalProtect VPN system will use your computer’s default web browser when signing in.  This process differs from what VPN users may be familiar with where the authentication happens within the GlobalProtect client.


This change in process reflects a change in the default settings of the VPN system but offers VPN users a simpler experience. Using  the computer’s default browser allows the system to leverage other authentications to UMBC services thus reducing the number of logins required by the user. 


After you authenticate, your browser may ask for confirmation about opening the GlobalProtect application. The exact phrasing of this confirmation will vary depending on your browser, but should include an option to "Always Allow" your browser to open GlobalProtect. Choosing this option will prevent you from being prompted in the future. 


For more detailed instructions on this process see our FAQs below.
