How to Connect to Eduroam

Linux (Arch) setup

1. Get the CA certificate from your school

This process seems different for every school. For me, I had to go to my school’s onboarding website, then downloaded it from there.

2. Connect to eduroam

Connect to the hidden WiFi network → SSID → eduroam, then connect with the following settings:

Security:            WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
Authentication:       Protected EAP (PEAP)
Anonymous identity:   (blank)
Domain:               (blank)
CA certificate:       my_school_certificate.cer
PEAP version:         automatic
Inner authentication: MSCHAPv2
Username:             meow_man@alunosuminho.pt
Password:             ******* (your school password)

Boox devices setup

For whatever reason my Boox Go 10.3 doesn’t seem to work with my university’s WiFi directly, so I resort to eduroam.

1. Get the CA certificate from your school

Same as above, this process seems different for every school. For me, I had to go to my school’s onboarding website, then downloaded it from there.

2. Install the CA certificate on Android

1. Install the “Android Hidden Settings” app, available in the Play Store.
2. Android Hidden Settings → Settings → Security → Encryption & Credentials → Install from Storage → select the CA certificate → name it.

3. Connect to eduroam

1. Home → Settings → (+) at the top right → SSID: eduroam, security → WPA/WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise.
2. Connect with the following settings:

EAP method:            PEAP
Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPv2
CA certificate:        (select the previously installed certificate)
Identity:              meow_man@alunosuminho.pt
Anonymous identity:    (leave blank)
Password:              ******* (your school password)
