Authenticating with CCA automatically with wget

aberry@uoguelph.ca's picture

Here is the magic line:

wget -O - --no-check-certificate "https://nac1.net.uoguelph.ca/auth/perfigo_weblogin.jsp?cm=ws32vklm&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F" > /dev/null

I don't know if the 'cm' parameter changes, as I have to wait 24 hours for my session to expire. Hopefully it's unique per machine so you can just grab the one assigned to you and substitute as needed.

Or if you don't have wget installed, you can use curl.

Combined with LocationChanger, you can easily make your Mac automatically authenticate when it signs on to uog-wifi-secure.

Anyone have wget installed on Windows? I'm curious if this lets you get around CCA.
