Fixing Repeated LCC WiFi Certificate Pop-Ups on macOS

Summary

Some macOS users may experience repeated pop-ups asking for a certificate (such as “Mosyle Corporation Enrollment”) or a username and password when connected to LCC WiFi. This happens when the connection setup is incomplete. This article provides step-by-step instructions to forget and reconnect to LCC WiFi on macOS to stop the certificate prompts.

Body

Summary

Some macOS users may see repeated pop-ups requiring a certificate (such as “Mosyle Corporation Enrollment”) or credentials when connecting to LCC WiFi. This happens when the initial connection attempt fails or is incomplete.

Symptoms

  • Frequent pop-up requests for WiFi certificate or password
  • Pop-up interrupts work by reappearing every few minutes
  • Pop-up cannot be dismissed permanently without further action

Cause

This is usually due to an incomplete connection process to LCC WiFi, causing your device to continually try to authenticate.

Resolution (macOS)

  1. Forget LCC WiFi
    • Click the Wi‑Fi icon in the top menu bar.
    • Select Wi‑Fi Settings… (or Network Settings).
    • Locate LCC WiFi in the network list.
    • Click the three-dot icon next to LCC WiFi and choose Forget This Network.
  2. Reconnect to LCC WiFi
    • Select LCC WiFi from the Wi-Fi menu.
    • Accept the certificate prompt (Continue or Accept).
    • Enter your LCC username and password at the EAP authentication prompt.
    • Because of campus WiFi controller age and macOS security, you may need to retry connecting more than once.

You should only see one certificate request after a successful login, and repeated pop-ups should stop.

Additional Notes

  • There is a ~5–6 second timeout for authentication attempts.
  • If you still see pop-ups after these steps, contact the IT Help Desk for support.

Applies To

  • macOS devices connecting to LCC WiFi
  • Users seeing repeated certificate or password pop-ups
