802.1x and Vacation Time
by Jason Northage 11 Feb '26

11 Feb '26

Hello all, A couple of things I wanted to mention to everyone, I will taking reading week off for vacation time. I will have access to email and remote assistance but I won't be on campus during that time, so if you have anything that needs me to be on site, I will be back the following week to help you out. I also want to mention that IST has given me a list of computers in our faculty that has not yet been authenticated with the new 802.1x ethernet policy. Some computers I have identified, and some I haven't, so I am just sending this out to everyone. The reason being is for those who have not logged into the 802.1x before, are using a temporary IP address, and IST will be shutting these down on Feb 26th. How to check/fix: If you are using a Windows computer or laptop that connects through ethernet, and you log into that device with your AD credentials, this should automatically log you into the ethernet 802.1x without having to do any extra steps. You can check this by going to START-SETTINGS-NETWORK AND INTERNET-ETHERNET. If it shows Connected, signed in, then you are fine (see attached screenshot), if it shows a box that says SIGN IN, then you need to sign in with your UMNet ID and password (same as email) and the system will verify your credentials, and should give you the connected, signed in confirmation. If you have a Mac computer or laptop that connects to Ethernet, it should ask you at the beginning for your credentials to login, as if you were logging into wireless. Chose EAP-TLS if it asks for a certificate, then enter your credentials. Don't be concerned if it doesn't ask. If you have any issues with the above, I will be back on the 23rd, so plenty of time to iron out any wrinkles, and/or please contact me through email. Thanks, Jason Northage IT4 - Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources University of Manitoba 102-70 Dysart Road Winnipeg, MB R3T 2M6 Ph: 431-275-5477 "I do everything" Upcoming absences: Feb 16th-20th “The University of Manitoba campuses and research spaces are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Dene and Inuit, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
