On 11/11, OIT Networking was advised that validation for the root certificate used for wireless and VPN authentication will be revoked from the Windows operating system on 11/16. This event is anticipated to potentially lock out the entire Windows user base from wireless authentication within five days.
OIT networks must perform an emergency intervention to change the certificate provider on our internal authentication systems to prevent this. This is not anticipated to cause any long term outages and is typically a low impact event. Users may get prompted to accept a new certificate provider if their system performs certificate validation.
Due to the extremely short notice to resolve this issue, we will be testing the new certificate provider with an internal system first. Assuming this is successful and initial validation shows positive results, work will immediately begin with the primary network authentication system. The rough time frame for this will be between noon and 4PM on 11/12/2026.
