Die deutsche Version finden Sie auf der Seite Eduroam unter macOS
The Radius Server certificate was changed on February 15, 2024. You don't need to install a new user certificate! Most devices should still connect to eduroam automatically. If your device asks whether you want to trust the new certificate, you should check the certificate's fingerprint.

This tutorial describes how to set up the Wi-Fi eduroam on macOS.
Step-by-step description[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
What to do?[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
- Create new network certificate in the service portal
- Set up Eduroam with the new network certificate
- If necessary, remove the Webauth network from the preferred networks
Step-by-step instructions[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Create network certificate[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
To use Eduroam you need a network certificate at the University of Paderborn. In the first step we have to create and download this.
- The "Webauth" network can be used for this process. “Webauth” is only intended for this setup process and will log you out again after a short time.
Go to the service portal and log in with your university account.
- Open the “Netzwerkeinstellungen” under Benutzerverwaltung
- Click "Neues Zertifikat erstellen".
- Give the certificate a unique name (Ex: MacBook)
- Select "Version 1" as the file format.
- Then click on "Neues Zertifikat zusenden".
- A new network certificate has been created for you.
- First copy the Importpasswort to the clipboard.
- Now click on "Netzwerkzerifkat herunterladen".
Install network certificate[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Open the certificate.
- Enter the import password for the certificate.
- We just copied it to the clipboard.
- Alternatively, we can type it from the service portal.
- We continue with "OK".
Set up Eduroam[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
- The certificate is imported, now we can set up Eduroam.
- To do this, click on the WLAN symbol in the bar at the top and then continue by clicking on Eduroam.
- Use the first button to select your certificate - It is <username>@uni-paderborn.de.
- Be sure to leave the field for user name and password blank!
- Then click "OK".
Do you use an older Version auf macOS?
- Click the first button and select EAP-TLS mode.
- Then click on the second button and select the network certificate you just created as the identity. It is <username>@uni-paderborn.de.
- Be sure to leave the username field blank!
- We continue by clicking on "Connect".
- Click on "Fortfahren".
- MacOS now informs us that a change has been made to our computer.
- To confirm, enter the password for your Mac and then click Allow.
- This query can appear up to three times. Enter the password for your Mac every time.
Remove WLAN network Webauth[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
- Now we're actually done - Eduroam is set up and can now be used.
- However, if you have used the Webauth WiFi network on your Mac, you should definitely remove it, otherwise problems may arise.
- To do this, we click on the WiFi symbol above again.
- By clicking on “System Settings "Netzwerk öffnen..." we go to the settings.
- Here we click on "More options..." at the bottom.
- The WLAN networks to which our Mac was already connected are now displayed in the preferred networks.
- Search for "Webauth" in the list and select it with one click.
- We then remove it by clicking on the minus symbol.
- Confirm the changes made with "OK".
- Then click "Anwenden" at the bottom.
Troubleshooting[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
If you are unable to connect to Eduroam as described above, follow these steps.
Remove the WLAN profiles for Eduroam and Webauth as described above.
- Click on the WiFi icon in the bar at the top.
- Select "Connect to another network...".
- From macOS 12 - Moneterey this may look different.
- Click on the WiFi icon.
- Click "Other Networks".
- Click "Other...".
Set up the network with the following settings:
- Network name: eduroam
- Security: Company-wide WPA2
- Mode: EAP-TLS
- Identity: Select your installed network certificate. The name ends with “@uni-paderborn.de”.
- Username: Be sure to leave this field blank.
Now click on Verbinden.
