Connect to the UofT wireless network on Android 11 and higher
Note: Labels for fields and buttons, and how screens are organized may differ slightly from device to device, depending on the version of Android you are running.
Part A - Install the Root and Intermediate CA certificates
1. Download the CA files to your device:
- Root CA (must be installed)
Download link:
Sectigo Public Server Authentication Root R46
Save to your Downloads and rename .crt if needed. - Intermediate CA (may be required if the RADIUS server does not provide it)
Download link:
Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA OV R36
Save to Downloads and rename to .crt if needed.
2. Open the certificate installer. There are two options for installing the certificates.
Option 1: Install as CA certificates. This is the standard method for many Android devices. - On Android 11:
Settings → Security → Advanced → Encryption & credentials → Install a certificate → CA certificate - On Android 12/14:
Settings → Security & privacy → More security settings → Encryption & credentials → Install a certificate → CA certificate
Both Root and Intermediate can be installed as CA certificates. Android 11/12/14 typically only needs the Root. If you have additional problems with authentication, installing the Intermediate as well can fix cases where the server does not present the full chain.
3. Install the certificates
- Select each .crt file in turn, name them clearly (e.g., UofT Root R46 and UofT Intermediate R36).
- Confirm installation.
- Optional: Verify under Settings → Security → Encryption & credentials → Trusted credentials → User that both are listed.
Option 2: Install as Wi-Fi certificates. Sometimes there may be an issue installing CA certificates on some Android devices. For example, you may receive an "invalid credential" message or another failed connection. If you install the same root certificates as Wi-Fi certificates, this may resolve the issue. - Go to: Settings → Security & privacy → More security settings → Encryption & credentials → Install a certificate → Wi-Fi certificate
- Import Root R46 again (label it e.g., “UofT Root R46 Wi-Fi”).
- Import Intermediate R36 again (label it e.g., “UofT Intermediate R36 Wi-Fi”).
Part B - Re-add the UofT Wi-Fi profile
- Forget your previous UofT networks.
- Go to Settings -> Network & internet -> Internet -. UofT-> Forget.
2. Connect to UofT with these exact settings:
- In Identity, type your UTORid OR UTORid@utoronto.ca
- In Password, type your UTORid password
- For CA certificate choose Use system certificate
- For online certificate status, choose Do not validate OR Request certificate status
- For Domain, type utoronto.ca
- For anonymous identity, leave it blank.
- For EAP method, it should be PEAP
- For Minimum TLS version, choose TLSv1.2
- For Phase 2 authentication, it should be MSCHAPV2
- Click Connect.
