Eduroam for staff and students

As a member of the University of Passau with a ZIM account, you can use Wi-Fi internet access via eduroam with supported devices.

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 at https://sso.uni-passau.de/meinekennung/eduroam
Identity: username@uni-passau.de (you must enter the user name in lower case!)

Further information about your personal user certificate
