How to Connect to CSUDH Wireless Network ?

Connecting to the CSUDH Wireless Network is changing! A new network authentication and validation security system is in place to simplify login and to prevent infected wireless computer systems such as laptops or desktops from gaining access to the network and infecting other systems. This will ensure a safe, secure and reliable network for you.

Here's what you need to do:

  1. Connect to the wireless network

The wireless network has a new name or SSID. It is called: GoToros . When you turn on your wireless enabled computer, the chances are that it will see the new wireless network and will connect to it automatically. If your computer does not see the wireless network or does not connect to it automatically, you need to manually create a profile with the SSID: GoToros without any other security settings and your computer will connect automatically when you are at or near any wireless hotspots in our campus. Click here about how to setup a wireless network profile on your computer using windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration Utility.

  1. Logon to the Network

Launch any web browser such as Internet Explorer, Netscape or Firefox. You will be redirected to the Clean Access Server web site for login (Figure 1)

  Figure 1

Click on Yes at the security alert window.

Enter your username and password to logon to the network (Figure 2) and select appropriate role from the Role dropdown button. For faculty/staff, type your campus email username and password. For students, type your student username and password.

If you do not have your username and password, faculty/staff contact helpdesk, and students contact Admission and Records.

  1. Download the Clean Access Agent (only for the first time)

Once your username and password have been verified, you will be prompted to download and install the Clean Access Agent*.

Click here for instructions about how to install the Clean Access Agent.

After the installation is completed, a Clean Access Agent icon will appear in your system tray (Figure 3).

If the Clean Access Agent fails to install, please see Troubleshooting section or contact our Helpdesk.

  1. Validating and Updating

Once the Clean Access Agent is properly installed, you do not need to launch a web browser anymore to logon to our wireless network. From now on you will use the agent for login purpose. Clean Access Agent will automatically pop up once it detects that you are at or near any wireless hotspots. If it does not pop up, you can right click on the Clean Access Agent icon and chose login.

The Clean Access Agent will automatically validate your system configurations to ensure that you have current operating system patches, anti-virus and other security updates.

If the validation is successful, you will be logged onto the network.

If the validation is not successful, you will be directed to a remediation site such as Windows Updates. You need to update your system or security files at that time. Depending on the security updates, you may need to reboot your computer several times.

_________________________________

* Note: Non-Windows systems (Macintosh, Linux) or older Windows will not need to download the Clean Access Agent. The validation will be conducted via a network scan.
