GTwpa configuration for Apple iPhone

We have had difficulty configuring WPA on the iPhone manually; however, configuration using the following configuration profiles seems to reliably configure the device successfully.

This requires an Apple iPhone or iPod Touch device running version 2.0 and above. You also have to have access to the internet, either through GTwireless, another wifi network, or your cellular connection on the iPhone.

On Your iPhone or iPod Touch


  1. Verify that you are running MacOS version 2.0 and above ("Settings"->"General"->"About")
  2. Make sure you have access to the Internet, either through GTwireless, another wifi network, or cellular (iPhone only).
  3. Open this page: http://auth.lawn.gatech.edu/help/gtwpa/iPhone.html in the "Safari" Web Browser on your iPhone or iPod Touch, and follow the instructions.

A summary of what will be done on the iPhone or iPod Touch follows:


Download the Georgia Tech Root Certificate if you have not already done so on this device. You will be prompted to ask if you want to install this certificate authority.





Download the iPhone configuration profile for GTwpa. Click "Install" when the profile opens.








If you have previously configured GTwireless on the device you need to go to "Settings"->"WiFi"-> click the ">" next to "GTwireless" then click "Forget This Network".



In "Settings"->"WiFi" click on GTwpa




If you go to LAWN Login page, you should see a message that says you are already logged in, as well as the wifi signal strength icon in the upper left hand of the device.




The profiles can be removed if you go to "Settings"->"General"->"Profiles">
