Remove old configuration¶
If one would like to change from e.g. a MPCDF- to a MPE-account, it isn’t sufficient to just alter some single values. The certificate has as well to be updated.
Best remove the existing eduroam configuration on your device completely (depending on your operating system do e.g. a right-click remove or delete), so that the device can’t connect to eduroam anymore.
Afterwards install eduroam as described above.
Manual installation (not recommended)¶
Warning
Please use the automatic Eduroam CAT Tool where ever possible!
In case the way described in Eduroam CAT Tool doesn’t work (e.g. Android older than v4.3) one can as well install the eduroam profile manually:
At first the root certificate should be downloaded and installed. It’s necessary for your device to check whether it’s connecting to a authentic eduroam server and therefore make sure the connection is secure.
Then provide following information:
