As per the Colleges eSafety policy all access to the Internet is filtered, monitored and logged.  As part of that monitoring any secure (https) websites that are accessed are decrypted, scanned and then re-encrypted to ensure that they conform to the Colleges eSafety policy.  No private information is read, the contents are just scanned by the server and checked against the College filtering lists.

Most modern web browsers and devices are now aware of when this happens to them.  This interception of secure traffic is a sometimes used as a method by hackers and malware to steal personal information or infect computers, and so your device may display a message, similar to the image below warning you that this is trying to occur.

To stop your device from displaying this message, you need to install what’s called a Security Certificate to your personal device.  This tells your device to trust the Norton College Internet servers.

NOTE: NOT INSTALLING THIS CERTIFICATE DOESN’T STOP THE COLLEGES INTERNET FILTERING FROM WORKING ON YOUR DEVICE, IT JUST MEANS YOUR DEVICE WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW WARNING MESSAGES.

You only need to install the security certificate to each of your BYOD devices once, and to do so follow the steps below.

Step 1
On your device, open up RM Unify and click on the BYOD Certificate tile.

Step 2
A new page will open.  Read the information at the top of the page.

Step 3
Based upon the type of BYOD device you’re using, click on arrow next to your device type.  Read and follow the instructions you are provided.

Please ask IT Support if you require any further assistance installing the certificate, or further clarity on what it is you’re installing to your device.
