Eduroam for staff and students

- To set up internet access with OpenVPN or a Wi-Fi connection to the network 'CampusUniPassau' on the respective device.
- Your personal eduroam certificate, either in so-called PKCS format (for Windows, Linux, Android) or in the MobileConfig-format (for Apple devices with OS X or iOS).
- Configuration software for Windows or Linux devices, for Apple devices, nothing more is required.
Supported devices
Unfortunately, not all devices are suitable for eduroam. Please therefore be aware of our tips about suitable devices.
Personal user certificates
In the eduroam project, an encrypted connection to the authentication authority of the home institution via the so-called EAP protocol is established during the authentication of the participants. For this, there are further settings necessary on the device with which you want to use eduroam. These are independent from the location in which you are using eduroam; for members of the University of Passau they are as follows:
- Authentication procedure: EAP-TLS
- User certificate and CA certificate: you will receive this issued to you personally here
- Identity: username@uni-passau.de (you must enter the user name in lower case!)
- The domain of the University of Passau is: uni-passau.de
Eduroam parameters for the campus wi-fi
The eduroam parameters for the University's campus Wi-Fi are as follows:
- SSID: eduroam or eduroam-5GHz
- Encryption: WPA2/EAP/AES
At other locations these parameters may vary. If you are logging in from elsewhere, please contact the host institution for further information.
