How to Connect a ChromeOS Device to SVA’s Secure Wireless Network
Please note: Connecting to the wifi.sva.edu page to install your certificate, requires that you have a working internet connection. For your convenience, installation of the certificate can be done from anywhere that you have an internet connection - including off-campus. However, if you are attempting to install the certificate for the first time from within the SVA campus, one of the following will have to be done to enable your ability to get to wifi.sva.edu for the onboarding process.
1) Turn your cell phone into a hotspot and connect to it, allowing you to share its internet connection.
2) Use your cell phone or any other internet-connected device to request a guest wireless account and use the generated credentials to log onto the SVA Guest WiFi network.
Once you have established an internet connection on the device in need of the certificate, continue to follow the process below to complete the onboarding process.
Please remember that SVA only supports 802.11a/n or 802.11a/n/ac (5-GHz) wireless devices.
1. From your wireless device, open up a web browser and navigate to wifi.sva.edu.
2. You will be greeted by the below page. Click “Sign In”.
3. You will then be taken to your myID landing page. Please enter your myID credentials, and continue
with the authentication process (NOTE: The method of secondary authentication that you
have set up for yourself may vary from the one shown below).
4. After successfully authenticating, you will be taken to the below page where you will be asked to
download the wireless configuration profile. Click “Download”.
5. Once the download is complete, you will see the below screen. Click on “Choose File” to open up the
file browser window that will allow you to browse to the location where the ONC file was downloaded to.
6. At the below window, click on “Choose File” to actually browse to the ONC file’s location.
7. Select the ONC file and click “Open” (NOTE: You will NOT see any indication that the ONC file has
actually been selected when you are redirected to the window in step #6, nor will you get any
confirmation of a successful import).
8. Open up the wireless network selector and choose “SVA Secure WiFi”.
9. After selecting the wireless network, the below pop-up window will ask you to confirm the settings
that were configured by importing the ONC file in step # 7. Click “Connect”.
10. After you successfully connect, go into the properties of the SSID and confirm that “Automatically
connect to this network” is selected.
