Step-by-step instruction

During the setup, the access data of your university account (the same as for E.L.V.I.S., moodle) are required, not those of the applicant account! Please make sure that you have already changed your initial password for your university account. If this is not the case, you must change the password in advance via the URMZ user portal.

  1. Ensure that there is an internet connection (If applicable, the Wi-Fi gast-ue can be used)
    1. The Wi-Fi eduroam cannot be used for the initial setup
  2. (If available) delete existing eduroam profile
    1. Settings -> General -> Profiles
  3. Open a browser and visit the website easyroam.de
  4. Search and select University of Erfurt
  5. Register with the university account
  6. Under "Manual Installation" click on “Apple”
  7. Enter the name profile and click OK
  8. “Allow downloads on “easyroam.de?” Confirm with Allow
  9. Save the mobileconfig file
  10. Double click on ProfileName.mobileconfig under Downloads
  11. Message "Loading Profile" confirm with OK
  12. Go to Settings -> General  -> Profiles
  13. Install your easyroam profile with a double click (own Mac password required)
  14. Switch to Wi-Fi settings and connect to the eduroam Wi-Fi
  15. You should now be successfully connected.

Technically, the setup process must be repeated every 7 months! Max. 8 devices can be configured. Currently, there is no automatic reminder before the certificate/profile expires. You can find the expiration date in the corresponding profile at easyroam.de (after logging in under Profiles). Please set up a reminder in your personal calendar!
