# eduroam Configuration (iOS/iPadOS)

The process of establishing secure wireless network access on Apple mobile devices at the Universität Greifswald. The university has transitioned toward an automated profile-based setup to replace manual credential entry.

## Setup Process
The configuration is managed through the [[easyroam]] app. The workflow consists of:
1. **Browser Authentication**: Verifying user identity.
2. **Institution Selection**: Selecting "Universität Greifswald" from the list of participating institutions.
3. **Profile Deployment**: Installing and confirming a configuration profile that contains the necessary security certificates and network settings.
4. **Permission Granting**: Explicitly allowing the profile to manage WLAN access.

## Critical Prerequisites
- **Connectivity**: The device must have an existing internet connection (e.g., via [[UniHGW]] or mobile data) to download the profile.
- **Profile Deletion**: To prevent configuration conflicts, any previous eduroam network settings or profiles (especially those created via manual username/password entry) must be deleted before installing the new [[easyroam-profile]].

## Support
Support for this process is provided by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] via their ticket system or hotline.
