Linux

Automatic Configuration

Automatic configuration is available for Recent versions of Ubuntu (9.04+).

• XpressConnect (Ubuntu 9.04+)

Manual Configuration

Network Manager

Most current Linux distributions use Network Manger to manage network connections.   These distributions include Sabayon, Ubuntu (and Ubuntu-based distributions), Fedora, etc.  Though XpressConnect will only run on Ubuntu, Network Manager can easily be configured to access URI_Secure.

• Configuring Network Manager

WPA Supplicant

Manually configuring wpa_supplicant should work for all distributions, even where Network Manager fails. The process is fairly simple, but requires some experience working with a Linux shell.

• Configuring WPA Supplicant

For help manually configuring your Linux computer to connect to URI_Secure, please contact the Information Security Office directly at security@uri.edu or (401) 874-7073.
