I’m at university, and network access (both wired and wireless) requires logging in using my campus account. Is there a way to configure RasPlex so that I can actually connect to the network?
Well you cant use a web browser on Rasplex if that´s what you mean and you aren´t giving enough information on the security your campus is using so its hard to help you out
But lets make a wild guess, lets suppose that on your campus you need to pass through a captive website before your device is cleared to navigate, an that the campus uses the MAC address of your device to filter and enable it.
That means you could theoretically boot your Pi with something like Raspbian, do the necessary log in sequence and then change the SD to rasplex and it should enable your device using the same connection.
Sorry; dashed off my original post quickly. I’ve investigated a little bit more, and it looks like the system is using security certificates tied to the specific student account. There’s a linux installer that loads those certificates in; would it work if I copied those onto the Rasplex installation?

So it wouldn’t be an issue that changing the SD wipes all the files?
If it is just filtering devices by the MAC address changing SD wouldn’t affect it as the address is part of the hardware itself. Which is a terrible security practice because it can easily be spoofed but a very popular security method.
But if you need to install something like a certificate you are probably out of luck without some serious testing and editing
