WiFi: Automatic configuration
The best way to configure your WLAN Access by using the geteduroam-App from SURF or the older application Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT) from Geant.
The security settings (certificates and host name of the authentication server) are set automatically.
Please use the „eduroam“ profile. In case of problems with Smartphones you may use the profile „eduroam – TTLS-PAP preferred“ or profile "eduroam (without wire-connected-network)“ for Windows-Laptops alternatively .
Enter the data of your WiFi account during configuration:
- Username: <Login name of WiFi account> (e.g. mj30xoxolan00@tu-darmstadt.de)
- Password: <Password to WiFi account>
How to get a WLAN account
WiFi accounts are created and also managed in the IDM portal. For more information, see the instructions for creating and managing personal WiFi accounts (opens in new tab) .
