IT ResNet Wireless: Macintosh OS 10.5x Configuration

Some issues have been identified with Mac OS 10.5 connecting to the IT ResNet wireless network. IT ResNet is continuing to test Leopard on with ResNet wireless, but have not been successful connecting in some cases. If you can’t connect after following these instructions, please call IT ResNet at 812-0000 for assistance.

To configure AirPort for an 802.1x connection to IT ResNet wireless:

  1. Select the configuration options by clicking on the AirPort Icon on your toolbar and selecting Open Network Preferences.
  2. On the Network Preferences window, click on AirPort and select the Advanced button.
  3. Click on the 802.1X option and select User in the Domain drop-down menu. Then click the + button in the lower-left corner.
  4. Enter the configuration options for KU-RESNET wireless as follows:
    • Enter your KU Online ID in the User Name field. (For security reasons, it is best to leave the password field blank.)
    • If you are in range of the KU-RESNET network, make sure that it is selected in the drop down menu. Otherwise enter it in manually – type KU-RESNET , all in capital letters, with the dash between KU and RESNET.
    • Make sure the PEAP box is the only box checked in the Authentication list.
    • Click OK.
  5. Click on the Advanced button again and click the AirPort option on the top of the Network Preferences window. Click the + button to add a network.
    • Enter KU-RESNET for the Network Name.
    • Select WPA2 Enterprise from the Security drop-down list
    • Enter your KU Online ID in the User Name field. (For security reasons, it is best to leave the Password field blank.)
    • Choose KU-RESNET from the 802.1X drop-down list.
    • Click Add.
  6. Drag KU-RESNET to the top of the Preferred Network list and click OK.
  7. Note: After configuring the 802.1x connection and applying it in the AirPort interface, the Mac may appear connected, but it is not. You may need to turn off AirPort and turn it back on to force it to prompt you to enter your authentication credentials (KU Online ID and password). This may occur each time after rebooting, as well.
  8. Click the AirPort icon on the top toolbar and choose Turn AirPort Off. Then click the AirPort icon again and choose Turn AirPort On. You should be prompted for your KU Online ID and password.

If you have any questions during the setup process, please call ResNet at 812-0000.
