This tutorial describes how to set up the Wi-Fi eduroam on android.
Android is used by many different manufactureres and therefore can look very different. We can't offer instructions for every device.
Step-by-step description[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Create certificate[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Bevore setting up eduroam, we must create and install a certificate. You can use mobile data for this. Otherwise use webauth.
Visit the Serviceportal and log in with your Uni-Account.
We recomend using the "Google-Chrome-Browser". Other browsers may also work.
- Click on the displayed icon.
- Click on "User Selfcare"
- Click on "Network Settings".
- Click on "Create network certificate".
- Name your certificate.
- Choose "Version 1" as the data format.
- Click on "Send Certificate".
Hinweis: Create a certificate for every device. A device isn't used anymore? A device got lost or stolen? Retract your certificate!
Install user certificate[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
- A new certificate was created.
- Copy the "Import Passwort".
- Click on "Download certificate".
- Use your "Import Passwort" to open the certificate.
- Click on "Ok".
The dialogue is not displayed?
Normally, the certificate import assistant opens now. If this isn't the case: Swipe down from the top. Your certificate should appear as a download in the infocenter. Open it with a click.
- Name your certificate in order to find it again - e.g. Eduroam.
- Choose "WLAN" or "Wi-Fi".
- Click on "Ok".
- Copy the identifier named "Identität".
- We will need it in the next step.
Set up eduroam[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
After installing the certificate, you can set up eduroam.

- Select "eduroam".
Choose the following settings:
- EAP-Methode: TLS

To install a system certificate, your device needs to be protected by pin, fingerprint or a different safety method. Don't deactivate the safety method. Otherwise, you need to set up eduroam again.

No connection to eduroam
Try the following steps:
- Deactivate and activate Wi-Fi
- Deactivate and activate Airplane Mode
- Perform a restart.
Certificate can't be installed
Do you get the error message "Certificate can't be read"? Try to install the certificate manually. Download the certificate. Ignore the error message.
Open the settings. The path can differ but open
Settings /Additional Settings / Security
Click on Install certificates from SD-Card and install the downloaded certificates.
Info: Can't find the option in the menu? Search for it.
Certificate: Password wrong
Do you get the error message "Password wrong". Don't use the clipboard but type in the password manually.
That does't help either? There is no fix for this problem yet.
