The Radius server certificate was changed on 15/02/2024. You do not need to install a new user certificate! Most devices should continue to connect to eduroam automatically. If your device asks whether you want to trust the new certificate, you should check the fingerprint of the certificate.

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.

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.
