Setting up Eduroam with MacOS

Please delete existing Eduroam profiles that were set up using the CAT tool before setting up the easyroam certificate.

  1. Open the Easyroam website, select "Universität Würzburg" as your home institution and log in using the WueLogin.
  2. Click on "Manual options" on the start page and select "Mobile-Config (Apple)" and give the profile a name (e.g. Eduroam Mac, this is the display name you use to manage the profile on the Easyroam website)
  3. Then click on Generate profile:
  4. The profile will now be created and downloaded automatically

  5. The profile must then be installed via the system settings. The menu navigation varies depending on the MacOS version:
    Use the search bar to search for "Profiles" and select the menu item of the same name. Select the Eduroam profile and click on Install.
    If you cannot find the installation option in this way, please see "Profile installation by MacOS version" below. We have also provided a few screenshots there.

  6. If there is an Eduroam network within range, the connection should now be established automatically. If there is none within range, you may receive an error message. However, as soon as you are within range, you will be automatically logged into Eduroam with your MacOS device and connected.
