In order to connect to the VIU network (be it by wifi or by wired connection), you must refer to the staff for permission.
Regular students and professors will automatically be assigned the necessary credentials upon their arrival on the island.
Participants of seminars and conferences will be informed by the respective organizers.

The two main wifi networks that can be used by all our guests are:

• "VIUGUEST" - a captive-portal based network. Your credentials will be asked only upon loading an HTTP (not HTTPS) web page. Some clients will recognize this mechanism automatically, asking your credentials; with others you must open your web browser and load an HTTP web page manually
• "VIU" - a 802.1X / EAP based network. Your credentials will be asked upon connecting to the wifi network itself. For clients unable to recognize automatically the configuration, the required parameters are: method PEAP; phase 2 authentication MSCHAPV2; anonymous identity empty; trust certificate on first use or ignore all certificates (or CA).

The UAP (Acceptable Use Policy) is based on that of the GARR Consortium, to which VIU belongs:

• UAP (italian version)
• UAP (english version)
