Monday 2 October 2023

Many students and employees of the Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg use eduroam when they log into the WLAN on campus. The Institute for IT Service points out that the previous authentication procedure will be replaced by a so-called certificate-based profile procedure.

Accordingly, all users must go via this new easyroam service if they want to continue using eduroam. easyroam is a service provided by the German Research Network (DFN). The service enables the creation of WLAN profiles for end devices, which are valid for 6 months. After this period, the profile must be renewed.

Instructions for setting up the service for various operating systems are provided here:

The official easyroam website can be found here: https://www.easyroam.de/

The ITS recommends to implement the authentication procedure via the easyroam service promptly, as the existing authentication is only valid until November.

If you have any questions, the service points of the respective branches and the ITS will help.
