WLAN - eduroam

On the entire campus, mobile access is possible via WLAN. By participating in eduroam (Education Roaming), employees and students of participating universities and organisations are able to establish a WLAN connection at the locations of all participating organisations. For guest lectures, semesters abroad, business trips and the stay at a foreign university, you do not have to apply for guest access first, but can log in directly with your known login data. In the meantime, almost all European countries are represented at eduroam and more and more universities in the respective countries are joining their research networks. A map showing all participating locations can be found at www.eduroam.de and www.eduroam.org.

Linux

The installation programe is a Python script. It will attempt to install eduroam in Network Manager. If the system is not managed by Network Manager or the version is too old, a wpa_supplicant configuration file will be created instead. The installation programe creates a .cat_installer sub directory in your personal folder and copies the server certificates there. To connect to the network, you need a user account from your organisation. Visit their help pages to find out how to get such an account. Most probably you already have such an account.

IMPORTANT: During installation, enter the user name in the following format: <login name>@umwelt-campus.de, with the corresponding password. This combination does not necessarily have to correspond to your e-mail address.
