This tutorial describes how to set up the Wi-Fi eduroam on Linux. In this example a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system with Gnome Desktop is used. Other distributions may look different.
 
  
== What needs to be done? ==

These instructions for setting up the eduroam WLAN at the University of Paderborn apply to devices with Linux via the user interface (GUI). As an example, the network is set up here under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Gnome Desktop. Depending on the Linux version, the settings may vary slightly. Please note that the Notebook Café does not offer immediate Linux support.

 +
== What to do? ==
 +
* Create your personal university network certificate  
 +
** <optional> Download the root certificate. This is a standard root certificate, so it should already exist.
 +
* Set up the eduroam network.
 +
* Delete any existing webauth profile so that the device automatically connects to eduroam.
 +
* '''Special case:''' Depending on the Linux version, ''uni-paderborn.de'' must be entered under '''Domain/domain'''.

=== Troubleshooting ===
+
<pre>
In some network manager the field '''Usercertificate''' is not allowed to be empty. You can insert a random file like a 0-byte-file or the telekom cert. Now you should be able to click on '''connect'''.
+
1) Find wpa_supplicant service file with `systemctl status wpa_supplicant`.
 +
    For me, the path is "/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service"
 +
2) In that file, (with superuser rights), add the line
 +
    `Environment="OPENSSL_CONF=/usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf"`
 +
3) Backup old config:
 +
    `sudo cp /usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf /usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf.backup`
 +
4) Modify "openssl.cnf" like follows:
 +
    a) Below "[openssl_init]" add the line "ssl_conf = ssl_sect".
 +
    b) At the end of the file, add
 +
      [ssl_sect]
 +
      system_default = system_default_sect
 +
 
 +
      [system_default_sect]
 +
      Options = UnsafeLegacyRenegotiation
 +
      CipherString = DEFAULT:@SECLEVEL=1
 +
5) Restart the service `sudo systemctl restart wpa_supplicant.service`.
 +
    If that doesn't work, reboot.
 +
</pre>
 +
 
 +
<!--
 +
===User certificate ===
 +
* You may be able to leave the User Certificate field blank.
 +
* Some network managers do not save the profile as long as all certificate fields are not filled in, including the '''User Certificate''' field. It is then sufficient to enter any file in the user certificate field (0byte file, or e.g. the telekom-cert). You should then be able to save the profile.
 +
-->
 +
=== Linux Mint ===
 +
On Linux Mint it can happen that the user certificate cannot be selected when selecting it in the network settings. Linux Mint does not recognize the file extension/format .p12 in the selection.
 +
 
 +
==== Solution: ====
 +
Convert user certificate from P12 to PEM format
 +
<pre>openssl pkcs12 -in Network_Certificate_UNIACCOUNTNAME_XXXX.p12 -out Network_Certificate_UNIACCOUNTNAME_XXXX.pem -nodes</pre>
 +
After the conversion you can continue as described.
