EDUROAM settings

For manual setup you need:

  1. A device equipped with WiFi.
  2. Password for Eduroam - for this you need to know your school username and school password. You can set your Eduroam password at any time on the Intranet. After logging in to the Intranet, click on your name (in the upper right corner), then click on the Personal data link, in Personal data settings, click on the Set Eduroam password link and set a password different from the school password.
  3. Correctly configure the Eduroam WiFi connection, i.e. the parameters from the following table:

 

 network name (SSID)  eduroam
 Username  your_user_name@vsup.cz
 Password  Your password for Eduroam
 Security type  WPA2-Enterprise AES
 EAP + Authentication metod  Protected EAP or EAP - TTLS ,  MSCHAPv2
 authentication server name  radius.vsup.cz
 CA certificate   DigiCert Assured ID Root CA

 

If the first five parameters are set incorrectly, you will not connect. If you do not set the name of the authentication server and the certification authority to verify the trustworthiness of the authentication server, anyone can intercept and read your communications on the Internet (collect passwords, read your messages, send data on your behalf, ...).

 

For automatic setup use CAT - eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool
