If your wireless computer or mobile device at Indiana University Bloomington or IUPUI is registered, you will have the following access depending on which network you use:

  • IU Secure: If you use the IU Secure network, you will have full access to IU services. For help connecting to IU Secure, see About IU Secure wireless UITS recommends that you use IU Secure.
  • IU Wireless with VPN: If you use the older IU Wireless network and make a VPN connection, you will have full access to IU services. For help setting up a VPN connection, see About the IU VPN.
  • IU Wireless without VPN: If you use the older IU Wireless network without making a VPN connection, you will be able to access the Internet and IU email. Only encrypted access to email is allowed, so laptops will not be able to access email using Outlook in its normal configuration.

    Specifically, within the IU network you will be able to access only resources that use the following ports:

    • TCP port 22 (SSH); for example, connecting to your Quarry account
    • TCP port 443 (SSL World Wide Web access [HTTPS]); for example, https://oncourse.iu.edu/
    • TCP port 465 (SMTP-S)
    • TCP port 636 (LDAP-S)
    • TCP port 993 (IMAP-S)
    • TCP port 3269 (global catalog for ADS)
    • TCP port 5223 (Jabber)
    • UDP port 3659 (SASL)
