One of the most popular aspects of the new UCONN-GUEST wireless network is the ability for guests to self-provision logon credentials. As you know, the credentials are valid for seven days and once they expired, the guest would have had to wait two-days before the system will allow a subsequent request for credentials.
Feedback received since UCONN-GUEST went live on March 12 is that the two-day waiting period affects the level of service provided to our guests. For this reason, the two-day waiting period has been removed.
Network Engineering and the Information Security Office will continue to monitor the use of UCONN-GUEST and reserve the right to reassess the need for the two-day waiting period.*
* NetID users (those with uconn.edu email addresses) should NOT be using the UCONN-GUEST network for their wireless needs. UCONN-GUEST is not encrypted and, therefore, not secure. NetID users should utilize UCONN-SECURE for wireless services.
We hope this change meets with your approval and that it will enhance your guests' experience here at the University.
All our best,
The Network Engineering & Information Security Offices
