Scheduled

Northwestern Information Technology will be applying a patch to the authentication servers used to authenticate wireless users. When the main server gets rebooted wireless guest and device registrations will not function for the 10 minutes the server is rebooting. All other authentication services, including certificate-based authentication, will continue to work due to the redundancy of the servers.
