NTU iPhone users might also want to connect to the NTUSECURE WiFi network for better security or just the connivence of not having to log on all the time. Prior to iPhone OS 3.0, there wasn’t any option to add a WPA Enterprise network.
In order to get NTUSECURE running, you will have to create one in the iPhone Configuration Utility. I’ve created the file to get you on. Just run it or email it to yourself to get started.
Remember to enter your username as “domain\username” and then your password when prompted.
» NTUSECURE.mobileconfig for just WiFi Configuration
» NTU.mobileconfig for everything else.
2 months agoPeople using Visual Paradigm for UML modelling, do note that the VP license that NTU has work for the Mac version of Visual Paradigm as well.
All you have to do is to have Visual Paradigm on your system as well as a copy of the license. Open the license and Visual Paradigm’s License importer should run and allow you to import the license.
You can grab Visual Paradigm here.

This is not completely a solely Mac related post, but it is a fantastic piece of software that runs on Windows and of the the Mac. Mathematica was featured by Apple as one of the key examples of going Universal when they began their architecture transition to Intel.
Really cool that NTU is giving this to mostly campus owned computers, though I suspect the license of personal home use computers should cost that much.
You will need to access the link when you are on campus as Wolfram detects your originating IP.
8 months agoQuick tip for all, non Mac users included.
Log onto the campus secure wireless network. Sure it is more a hassle to setup initially, but the ability to just associate with the access point and not having to go through the captive portal to access the internet is something that is of a greater convinence.
Encryption of your wireless signals also prevents eveasdropping through wireless sniffers.
Also accordingly, less people use the secure APs so the throughput’s much better.

For those who want the convinence of contact searching using NTU’s LDAP servers as well as Public Folders access, you have to either be on Campus logged into the Campus Network or get in through VPN.
VPN configuration can be found on the CITS site. Other details to be filled in can be found in your Entourage Accounts Panel.
1 year agoAlright. NTU provides a Microsoft Exchange Server for emails and everything else Outlook-ish. The good news is that you don’t have to use the really crappy looking and perhaps limited webmail. You can get it using apps on your Mac.
Avaliable for Exchange consumption would be Apple’s default Mail.app as well as Entourage. For the sake of functionality and features, Entourage would be the choice for now even though Mail.app looks really really nice and all.
So to configure Entourage for NTU’s mail environment, start up Entourage. This is of course assuming you are using Entourage:mac 2008
This is the configuration to get you access to your email outside NTU’s campus network.
For the illiterate,

I regret not doing this in NP, so here it is for high level education. All about surviving school using a Mac.
