# eduroam Configuration for Ubuntu/Linux

This source provides technical instructions for configuring the [[eduroam]] secure WLAN on Linux systems (specifically Ubuntu 20.04 and newer).

## Key Requirements
- **Internet Connection**: An active connection (via Ethernet, UniHGW open WLAN, or mobile data) is required to access the configuration portal.
- **Network Management**: The provided automation script assumes the use of [[networkmanager]].

## Configuration Workflow
1. **Profile Generation**:
   - Log into the [[easyroam]] portal.
   - Select "Manual Options" and enable the **PKCS12** option.
   - Download the generated PKCS12 file.
2. **Installation**:
   - Download the [[urz-easyroam-installer]] bash script.
   - Execute the script via terminal, passing the PKCS12 file as an argument:
     `bash configure-eduroam-with-easyroam "YOUR-PKCS12-File"`

## Alternatives and Support
- **Non-NetworkManager Users**: Users not utilizing NetworkManager are directed to the [[dfn]] documentation for manual configuration (including examples for Arch Linux).
- **Support**: Technical assistance is available via the [[groupware]] ticket system or the URZ hotline (ext. 1420).
