If you are responsible for BYOD within your environment, we have created two intelligent landing pages to which you can point your BYOD users. These pages will detect which Operating System the user is coming from and present the appropriate SSL Certificate for them to download.  In addition to the download, the user will also have a narrated video and links for manual installation instructions.  Many schools elect to have these pages set as the first page anyone receives when connecting to BYOD Wireless Networks. 

There are two URL's available and it's important to understand their differences. 

When you navigate to www.securly.com/ssl, this page will present the end-user with the Securly SSL Certificate which expires in 2034.
