# eduroam Configuration for Windows

This source provides detailed instructions for configuring the secure [[eduroam]] wireless network on Windows devices at the Universität Greifswald.

## Key Setup Requirements
- **Cleanup**: Users must remove any previous installations of the `geteduroam` app and delete existing eduroam network profiles before starting.
- **System State**: Windows must be fully updated (including the latest Feature Upgrade for Windows 10) and the Microsoft Installer App must be available.
- **Connectivity**: An active internet connection is required for the setup process (via cable, [[unihgw]], or mobile data).

## Configuration Methods

### Primary Method: easyroam Desktop Application
The recommended approach uses the [[easyroam]] desktop application provided by the [[dfn]]. The workflow is as follows:
1. Start the installation.
2. Search for and select "Universität Greifswald".
3. Authenticate via [[shibboleth]].
4. Install the new profile and confirm the installation.
5. **Critical Step**: The user must click "Reinstall" at the end of the process to ensure the profile is correctly applied.

### Fallback Method: Manual PowerShell Installation
If the desktop application fails, a manual installation is available:
1. Log into `easyroam.de` via a browser.
2. Select "Manual Options" and choose the **PKCS12** format.
3. Assign a name to the profile and download the resulting configuration file (`.p12`).
4. Download and execute the URZ-provided PowerShell script (`install-easyroam.ps1`).
5. Select the downloaded `.p12` file when prompted by the script.

## Support
Technical issues are handled by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] via:
- The [[groupware]] ticket system.
- The URZ hotline (extension 1420).
