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 unstructions 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 browser may work also.
- Click on the displayed icon.
- Click on 'User Selfcare
- Click on "Network Settings".
- Click on "Create network certificate".
- Name your certificate.
- 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!
Benutzerzertifikat installieren[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 dialog is not displayed?
Normaly the certificate import assistant opens now. If this isn't the cas: Swipe down from the top. Your certificate should appear as a download in the infocenter. Open it with a click.
- Name your certificate - e.g. Eduroam.
- Choose WLAN or Wi-Fi.
- Click on Ok.
- Copy the identifier named "Identität".
- We will need it in the next step.
If you want to use eduroam 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.
- Name the certificate - e.g. telesec.
- Choose WLAN or Wi-Fi.

- Choose eduroam as user certificate.
- Enter the username by using the clipboard.
- Don't want to use the clipboard? Enter <username>@uni-paderborn.de but insert your own username.
- If necessary use radius.uni-paderborn.de as domain.
- Click on Connect.
Info: If you can't find these setting - Click on Additional settings at first.
Delete webauth[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
- If you used webauth - Delete it afterwards.
- Log press on webauth and click on Delete.
- This can also be labled as Forget.
Alternatives[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
On Android 9 the CA certificate may not be needed. You can choose Use network certificates instead.
Troubleshooting[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
No connection to eduroam[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Try the following steps:
- Deactivate and activate Wi-Fi
- Deactivate and activate Airplane Mode
- Perform a restart.
Certificate can't be installed[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
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[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
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.
