Frequently Asked Question

UPLB-Secure is a WiFi service provided by the Digital Innovation Center. Instead of using a captive portal for logging in, users are requested to download a certificate that they need to install on their devices. Once the certificate has been installed, users will no longer have to enter their credentials every time they connect to UPLB-Secure. Note that the certificate has an expiration date; DIC will inform users when the certificate needs replacement/reinstallation.

In order to use the service, the client: 

1. Must have a UPLB NetID account 
2. Has the certificate or profile installed on their preferred device 
3. Is within range of UPLB-Secure

Downloadable files:

• Certificate for Android
• Certificate for iOS

Make sure to download the file appropriate for your device/operating system.
