The HfG Karlsruhe is part of the eduroam federation, which is used to connect to Wi-Fi. Once set up, HfG members can connect to Wi-Fi at other institutions which are part of eduroam. Conversely, HfG's eduroam Wi-Fi is open to members of other participating institutions.

On Macbook devices, a confguration profile with the necessary settings must be downloaded and installed. After downloading .config file, follow Settings>Device Management>Install, view or remove profiles to install the profile. Please remove any other profiles before you install HfG configurations. On the list you should see downloaded eduroam profile with an alert icon . If this is not the case, please double click on the downloaded .config file once. Follow the instructions and use your full email address (e.g. mmustermensch@hfg-karlsruhe.de) to login. If eduroam connection does not work after configuration, restart your device once.

On iPhone, download the .config file and go to VPN & Device Management, and click on the profile to go through the same process.

On Android devices, select the Wi-Fi network as usual and configure it manually, with the following settings:

¹ Very old Android devices (up to v8.0 Oreo) need a different certificate configuration. If this is your case, please send an email to support@hfg-karlsruhe.de.

Follow the same configuration listed above for Android devices. An effective check of the TLS certificate of the RADIUS server (radius.hfg-karlsruhe.de) is important.

For the CA Cert you can use the file ca-bundle.crt which in Fedora Systems is under /etc/ssl/certs. Let the checkbox near No CA certificate is required empty!

For the username, use your email without @hfg-karlsruhe.de

Open the System Settings and navigate to 'Networks and Internet'

Then navigate to 'WLAN' and select 'Manage known networks'.

A list of all your saved Wi-Fi networks will appear. Find any eduroam-related entries and remove them, using the 'Do not save button'. If you skip this step, the 'Save' button in the next dialogue will not work.

Click the 'Add new network' button. Enter eduroam as the network name and select WPA2-Enterprise AES as the security type. The configuration dialogue will expand with several new fields. Please fill them in as follows:

• EAP method: EAP-TTLS
• Authentication method: Unencrypted password (PAP)
• Private identifier: anonymous@hfg-karlsruhe.de
• Trusted servers: radius.hfg-karlsruhe.de
• Automatically connect: ☑

After pressing 'Save', you will be prompted for your username and password. Use your HfG email address as the username, and regular HfG password.
