Palm Pre - Connecting to lboro or eduroam wireless networks
Note: Before beginning you must have setup e-mail on your Palm Pre and have access to a wireless network (other than the one you are trying to setup) or 3G Internet access.
First you will need to transfer the Loughborough University Certificate Authority to your Palm Pre. E-mailing yourself the certificate and then opening it on your Palm Pre phone achieves this.
-
On your computer download a copy of the '.cer' Loughborough University Certificate authority http://www.lboro.ac.uk/it/wireless/files/lboro-ca.cer.
Make sure you use save link as or save target as to download (otherwise you will simply install the cert on the computer you are using).
Once this has been downloaded onto your local computer, send an email to yourself with the certificate as an attachment.
-
On your Palm Pre open the e-mail application and open the e-mail you sent yourself containing the certificate.
-
In the e-mail click on the attachment to open it.
-
The Certificate Manager Application will open and you will be asked to trust the certificate.
-
Click on Trust Certificate.
-
Bring up the launcher and find the WiFi icon, and then click it.
-
Click on lboro (or eduroam) from the list of wireless networks. Then enter your University username appended with '@lboro.ac.uk'. Then in the password field your University password.
-
Then click Sign-In.
-
Once you successfully connect a tick will appear next to the name of the network you are connected to.
