Dear Colleagues’
ICT have been made aware that the Security Certificates used by iPads are due to expire on the 7th of July. This means that after the 7th of July your schools iPads will be unable to connect to the Internet until they have the new Certificate installed.
Under normal circumstances, the Learning Technicians would assist schools with this but as currently there is no one in post, ICT have made the following arrangements to assist schools:-
Please follow this link to a “How to install new certificate from Meraki MDM” document which gives details on installing the new Certificate. As part of the process, the iPad will need to connect to a new Wi-Fi network, which will now be visible in your school. The SSID is IOS-ICT and the WPA2 password which has already been sent to your school.
This Wi-Fi network will only be available for a short period of time to allow these updates to take place. This network will then be monitored to verify that all iPads have been updated on the Meraki system.
If the Certificate is not updated by the 7th July the iPads will need to be returned to ICT or taken home to connect to a home broadband Wi-Fi connection to allow the update.
We apologise for the short notice at this very busy time of year for schools due to the fact that ICT Support have only just been made aware.
If you require any further information or would like to discuss the matter further please do not hesitate to contact me.
