This tutorial describes how to set up the Wi-Fi eduroam on Windows.
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.

 | Due to an error in the Windows certificate manager, certificates currently sometimes have to be installed twice. More on this below. |
What has to be done?[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
- Install your personal network certificate from the University of Paderborn.
- Then connect to the eduroam network.
Step-by-step instructions[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Create certificate[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Access using a browser such as B. Firefox or Edge, go to the service portal and log in with your user name and password from your university account.
- Go to Benutzerverwaltung and then Netzwerkeinstellungen.
- Click 'Neues Zertifikat erstellen.
- Give the certificate a unique name (Example: Laptop)
- For Windows 11, select Version 2 as the file format.
- For older versions than Windows 10, please use Version 1.
- Then click on Neues Zertifikat zusenden.
- A new network certificate has been created for you.
- First copy the Import Password to the clipboard.
- Now click on Netzwerkzertifikat herunterladen.
Save the network certificate to your device.
Install certificate[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Open the certificate we just downloaded. The certificate import wizard then starts automatically.
- Click on Continue.
- Paste the import password that we just copied.
- Leave the default settings intact.
- Note: It is not allowed to tick "Activate high security for the private key". The Windows WLAN client currently does not support this function and therefore no connection to eduroam would be possible.
- Then click Next
- In the following window, if necessary, click on Next and finally on Finish.
- If a security warning appears, click Yes.
- Now click on OK".
Note: Now open the same certificate again and install it a second time. This allows us to work around an error in the Windows certificate manager. Do not create a new certificate for this!
Connect with eduroam[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
After we have installed the certificate, we can now set up Eduroam. <bootstrap_accordion>
